21. more Fullmetal Alchemist (18 and I'm almost done with 19)
22. Wizard's First Rule - Terry Goodkind
23. A Mercy - Toni Morrison
I've read the first couple of Terry Goodkind books before, but it was way back in H.S. and I don't really remember it anymore, so I picked up the first 3 to re-read. We'll see if I go past that point or not.
A Mercy is Morrison's newest novel, and just came out in paperback. It was pretty good, and certainly kept me interested (one of those hard to put down ones, as I wanted to know what would happen). I think to get a fuller appreciation of it, though, I'll need to read it again at some point. Her books generally aren't a read it and leave it on the shelf kind of book.
I feel like I'm missing something in there, but I'll just add it in if I did. Next up is The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, and then more of the sword of truth series, probably, though there are a lot of books on my list at the moment.
