A Year in Books - my challenge (updated 19th Jan)

[jupiter_ash]

Part of my New Year’s resolutions is to go back to reading (proper) published novels again.  I may read a ridiculous amount - having an average reading speed of about 100 pages in an hour will do that to a person - but recently I’ve done very little non-fandom reading.  Last year, I think I only finished about 8-10 novels/books - three were The

Hello. Thanks for your recommendations. :)

I've read Good Omens, although that was years ago, and I read through my friend's copy of Smoke and Mirrors while on holiday with them. I just haven't gotten around to American Gods yet, although maybe I'll do Stardust first, or Anansi Boy, my copy of which is currently in my desk at work. I can't put them off forever but American Gods doesn't look easy. :)

I'll keep an eye out for Kim Harrison and Mercedes Lackey. I hadn't heard of them before.

Ahhhh, Anne McCaffrey. It's been ages since I've read anything by her and amusingly I never did get around to her dragon stories. I could never figure out where to start and/or the library never had the right ones. I think I've read The Rowan and some of the sequels though. I've just looked them up and they certain look familiar. The first books I read of hers was The Catteni Sequence, which I remember really enjoying. Then I read The Petaybee Trilogy, which I liked but not as much. And that was pretty much as far as I got, but then I was about 16 at the time. :)

Thanks, you've certainly made my list longer. :)
