2010: Reading what I want

[oftherain]

Last year I didn't read much at all. And I think I forgot to keep track of everything I did read, in fact. 2009 was the year Knitting took over as my number one free time activity. Knitting totally stomped all over everything else. But I'd like to have 2010 be a year in which I find a balance between all my hobbies. So hopefully I'll read more

...I was going to try and recommend some of my favorite fantasy books to you, but I just realized that they're almost all YA and Kids books. Or fantasy books that I enjoy *because* they're fun and junkfood-y.

well I'm not adverse to YA and kids! not at all. I have probably read some of those. But still please do recommend me some! and fun and junkfoody sounds really good to me! It will balance out the classics. Can't be literary and stuff all the time!

I should probably preface this by saying that I tend to enjoy stories that toy with fairytale and folklore conventions. Having said that, I've enjoyed

Thanks so much! I'm gonna have a good look at these!

P.S. I also love fairy tale, folklore themes. :)

Thanks will do! I have read Ella Enchanted. So I'm 1/3 of the way there. :)
