Book #20: Life as we Knew It

[thistle_chaser]

Boy, I'm speeding right along! My goal for the year was to hit half of the 50bookchallenge goal, and after lagging behind for months, I'm zooming!

Anyway! Life as we Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer was book #20 for this year. Even if the previous two books I read hadn't been seriously meh, this book would have been so amazingly wonderful

Just came back to LJ after a nostalgia trip, cleaned all of the webcomic rss feeds out of my flist, and you're the only person from back in the day who's still posting; still, that community makes it worth coming back. I absolutely love the idea. I'm certain I read more than 50 books per year, but I'll be interested to see how many I get through before Dec. 31, especially now that I'm back into FFXI.

I've read a lot of good books over the last couple of years, I can recommend a few if you wish.

Welcome back! I hope you find more good folks you want to friend and more comms worth following. Seems like there's one (or more) for everyone! I have a Disney World Food one I enjoy -- how's that for specific?

I look forward to seeing your posts on the 50 comm!

My to-read pile is so big already, I'm trying to get through a bunch of them before I let myself be tempted to buy new ones, but still! What have been some of the ones you've enjoyed the most?

In order of most-to-least fun to read:

The Rook by Daniel O'Malley. It's a first novel and a light read, but quite funny.
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It's also Cline's first book, but he's a good screenwriter. He's the guy who wrote Fanboys
Redshirts: A Novel in Three Codas by John Scalzi, a longtime favourite author of mine. Scalzi is always funny, and this is a book written for Trekkies.

Thanks! And I heard good things about redshirts. It's on my list! I'll keep the others in mind, too.
