For memory purposes later, books I've read since the new year started...as best as my mind can remember, anyway.
Historian (Elizabeth Kostova)
Count of Monte Cristo (Dumas)
Black Jewels Trilogy (Anne Bishop)
Some Enchanted Evening (Christina Dodd)
Primary Inversion (Catherine Asaro)
Catch the Lightning (Catherine Asaro)
Sex and Kings (not sure)
Diaries of Adam and Eve (Mark Twain)
Copenhagen (Michael Frayn)
Quantum Rose (Catherine Asaro)
Quicksilver (Neal Stephenson)
Crimson Petal and the White (Michel Faber)
Trigger (Arthur C. Clarke)
Started Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell (Susana Clarke), but had to return it to the library as it was on hold. Re-read my favorite parts of Golden Key and Dragon Prince, at times.
Next few on my list in no particular order, barring that the first six will be read before the others as I already have them checked out of the library:
1. World According to Garp (John Irving)
2. Under the Skin (Michel Faber)
3. Where Rainbows End (Cecelia Ahern)
4. Jennifer Government (Max Barry)
5. Twelve Times Blessed (Jacquelyn Mitchard)
6. Confusion (Neal Stephenson)
Until I Met You (John Irving)
We Need to Talk About Kevin (Lionel Shriver)
Freddy and Frederika (Mark Helprin)
Pride and Prejudice (Austen)
System of the World (Neal Stephenson)
Lady of the Hay (not sure)
Heart Chaser (Thomas Locke)
Wayfarer, Book 1 of the Shekinah Chronicles (Matthew Dickens)
Lonesome Dove (Larry McMurtry)
Eragon (Christopher Paolini)
Eldest (Christopher Paolini)
As always, ever changing and growing.
I'm going to try to post reviews of the ones I've read sometime soon, which was my New Year's resolution after all...well, that, and living here with Jeff in Toronto by January 2007...and I'd say I've accomplished that rather well, wouldn't you? ^_^ Plus, everytime I go to the library I have a mental list in my head of what I'm looking for, but by the time I get there, I've forgotten half of it. It helps to have it here to look back on...and I know a few of you like to read along with me as I go, so here it is.
