Well, if I keep this up, I know I'll at least make 50 books this year.

Books 35 and 36 were the 5th and 6th books in the Jack Sparrow books: The Age of Bronze and Silver. As much as I both do and don't enjoy these books, I'm apparently destined to read them. I found Age of Bronze at a local Barnes & Nobel for a dollar new, and Silver used at ( Read more... )

Just finished Spock's World, my first attempt at Star Trek novels and the 34th book in my challenge. I'm glad I picked this book to explore this fandom with the written word. Since seeing the new movie, the entire concept of the Vulcan race intrigued me. Then, at the local public library, I found this book ( Read more... )

Otherwise known as "I used to read faster than this!!!"

Book 32 was Warriors: Tigerstar & Sasha - Return to the Clans. A brief, unsatisfying manga of the Warriors series that I've been reading. But, I finished it! I'm all caught up!!! ...except, of course, for the next 6-book series in the set. Haven't even started those yet...

Book 33 was Living ( Read more... )

I seem to have been reading a lot this month. Here is my brief summaries of 9 books. As always the links lead to longer reviews in my journal.

Book 60: Wash This Blood Clean From My Hand by Fred Vargas, 2004. Translated from the French by Sian Reynolds, 2007. Another quirky police procedural featuring eccentric detective Commissaire Jean- ( Read more... )

Book 30 was the 3rd volume of Return to Labyrinth. Still good. Still love it; and I still can't wait to get the fourth and final installation to see how it ends.

Book 31 is going to take most my readers waaaaaaaaaaaaay back. I own a few random books from the Animorphs series. What I finally got my hands on, though, is the complete collection. I ( Read more... )

Six more books completed in May and the first few days of June. Links lead to longer reviews in my journal.

Book 54: The Night Watch by Sarah Waters, 2006. Paperback, 503 pages ( Read more... )

Apparently I must torture myself with Maguire's writing.  I was not pleased with Son of a Witch. Then again, I wasn't all that pleased with Wicked: the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the WestSadly, the emo was just dripping from every page. Liir only created a self-fulfilling prophecy of a disjointed life and being unremarkable in the eyes ( Read more... )

Book 48: American Gods by Neil Gaiman, 2001. Author's preferred text 2005 edition, Softback, 672 pages ( Read more... )

As usual links lead to longer reviews in my journal.

Book 42: The House at Midnight by Lucie Whitehouse, 2008 ( Read more... )

These are two novellas/novels I read recently and thoroughly enjoyed. Come to think of it, I wouldn't be suggesting them if I didn't think they were wonderful. =P

I stink at reviews. Just read the books already.

The Moon is Down, John Steinbeck. Best read in one or two days. Not well read if you only get to it once in a while (trust me). I'm ( Read more... )
