Ok, I just finished going through my bookshelves. I'm going to be getting rid of some that I either have duplicates of or that I grew out of or that were randomly given to me. I'll donate them to my local library's booksale, but first I wanted to see if any of you are interested in them. I've got no problem shipping them out if you're interested. ( Read more... )

More lists this way!

Brilliance of the Moon-   Lian Hearn- I feel like this one was much more depressing. I liked it, yes, but what's going to stay with me from this book are all the miserable segments, and none of the good ones. I don't require happy endings, not at all, but especially for how this one started, I hope it takes an upswing in the ( Read more... )

books books!

Seeing Redd- Frank Beddor- Next in the Looking Glass Wars. I wished it would have gone in a different direction than it did... I just think the possibilities could have been more fun. I still love Hatter Madigan, but it's the whole characters-being-embarrassingly-stupid thing.

Inkspell- Cornlia Funke- AUD. Even better than inkheart. ( Read more... )

 Ok, if you count the audio books, I'm up to 25. If you're restricting it to tangible books, it's... 16? 17? 
also, i'm not sure what's up with my spelling today. I'm sorry.
Anyhow. The list thus far.

Lovely Bones- Alice Sebold. Engaging. The main character has a strong, clear voice, and her youth gives some parts an unsettling feeling. She could ( Read more... )

As I mentioned before, I listened to Inkspell on audio book and loved it. I was mildly disappointed to see that a different reader is used for the second book, though- the first was read by an older, british woman with a rich way of enunciating each word and telling the story very well though she never got too excited. (her voice for elinor was ( Read more... )

Things have been going well. Today is bloody cold, and I actually don't have to work, so we've spent the day not leaving the house. This morning reminded me of Frostburg, with wind sharp enough to take away your breath.

Still no callbacks. I'm trying to be patient, have put in a few more applications & am looking around for more. Something full- ( Read more... )

 I barely remembered it in time, but, without further ado, here are the final books from 2007:

The Winter Prince- E. Wein- interesting. I like the characterization, but I’m not sure why Mordred is always so dark? And moody because his father didn’t love him? I like this Mordred, but I’d be really interested to read one that doesn’t immediately write ( Read more... )

So, finally posting about the books that I've read.  You may or may not remember that I was loosely participating in the 50 book/year challenge. Well, I've cleared it- up to 60  63, currently. I've posted the quick reviews that I haven't posted thus far, also left most of the rereads out- leaving, oh, thirty-some books?

The Once and Future King- T.H ( Read more... )

         Official paperwork makes my head spin. I'm in the middle of trying to change my name, protest an unwarrented security deposit that verizon charged me for the new cell phone because their poor salesperson didn't know any better, and rewrite resumes (two seperate ones, and one cover letter.) Put on top of that that I have to do all the thank ( Read more... )

I get up early in the morning, spend all day working with books, and come home and what do I do?

1. Hardback, trade paperback or mass market paperback?
Softcovers for price purposes, but I'm starting to acquire more and more clothbacks. I'd love to have my own small library at some point, which I'd want hardbacks for, and I figure it's better to work ( Read more... )
