I've been thinking what to watch now, since the hardsubbed versions of SQ aren't yet available and I want to stay awake as long as possible, so that I'll sleep late tomorrow.

The reason behind this is that I'll be working tomorrow night from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. I'm getting a bit nervous already, since I've never worked the night shift and the programs and the whole taxi call centre stuff is also unfamiliar to me. But I think I'll manage to muddle through it, it didn't look that difficult... It's also probably going to be so busy that I won't have time to worry too much :).

I think I'll start with something new, like Full House, since I've been feeling that I should check out Rain's doramas...

After finishing the Snow Drop, I did end up reading (184.) Goong, Vol. 1 as well. Very nice.

Tonight I also finished (185.) Lois McMaster Bujold's The Sharing Knife: Beguilement. I think some people have been disappointed with it, since it's clearly a romance novel and only half of one at that, but I liked it. Then again, I like shmoopy romances, as someone on the DWJ list called it :). Can't wait to read the second half of the book, since I think the leading pair is likely to have much more trouble in the Lakewalker camp than with her parents.

I think I might still finish about one book before the year's end, but if not, that'll be my final book of this year, bringing the overall tally to 185 read books this year. I think my New Year's resolution is going to be that I'll do the same thing again next year. I.e. keep a list of all books I read.

I might have gotten over 200 books if I hadn't gotten so addicted to doramas this Autumn. Watching the Asian tv-dramas really cut on my reading in the last few months, though I'm slowly starting to read more and more again. But as can be seen from the following list, I never completely stopped reading...
