Reading Year in Review - 2013 Edition

Jan 02, 2014 18:59

Last New Year's Eve, I made a resolution to read one-hundred books in 2013. I didn't quite realize what I was getting myself into, as this goal amounts to about two books a week, and I have simply not committed that much time to reading since before I was in high school and real life got between me and the collective imagination of great story ( Read more... )

Ah, I see you've switched up you journal a bit! Love the icon, btw, which LMA book is it from?

Wow, that is a lot, and I mean *lot* of books! Way to go for making a resolution and sticking to it! I really agree with your assessment of The False Prince, I love a Gen like character as much as the next Sounisian, but Gen-like and imitation!Gen are not the same thing XD And for the record, Anything anyone can do, Gen can do better! Except possibly for singing....:)

I love, love, love The Importance of Being Earnest! If you liked reading the play, you should watch the movie...It has Colin Firth in it, so that's already a plus XD I think we strted to read She Stoops to Conquer, but we didn't finish it.

Anything yu think we'd like?

Yeah, I do that often, whenever I start to get bored of what I've got. XD

It's from Work: A Story of Experience, which I have not read but plan to.

And you know what they say... Imitation is never as good as the real thing. :)

I can see it now...

Eugenides: I am king of three, hear that? Three countries! I am the greatest thief who ever lived. I stole my throne. All you did was inheirt it!

Joren: Sounds messy. At least, my author doesn't think it's appropriate to leave a "The" in front of a major characters name for four books.

Eugenides: Oh, you think Connor is a great name for a backstabbing villian? //feigns fear// Save us from Connor!

Keh... XD

I've seen live play versions of Importance, but never the movie. Should check that out.

Well first, you should finish She Stoops to Conquer!

Here's a few. I especially think you'd like the Sweet Seasons series.

Wow! You made it! You must feel very relieved. You've certainly covered quite a bit of ground - a little bit of everything in there ( ... )
