I'm thinking 50 books won't happen this year either, but I heard on the radio today that 1 in 4 people haven't read a SINGLE BOOK in the last year. I'm doing a little better than that.
1. Memoirs of a Geisha; Arthur Golden
2. The Folk Keeper; Franny Billingsley
3. Harry Potter 5; JK Rowling
4. Everything You Pretend to Know ... But Are Afraid Someone Will Ask; Lynette Padwa
5. Take a Thief; Mercedes Lackey
6. Trapp Family Singers; Maria Augusta Trapp
7. A Child's Garden of Grass; Dick and Jack
8. Death's Acre; Dr. Bill Bass and John Jefferson
9. A Little House Sampler; Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane
10. Sell With Soul; Jennifer Allen
11. Stiff: A Curious History of Human Cadavers; Mary Roach
12. HP4
13. HP5
14. Dragonflight
15. Dragonquest
16. The White Dragon
17 & 18. HP7.
19. Stardust; Neil Gaiman.
20. The Hot Zone; Richard Preston
Scary. Now I know where Stephen King got the idea for Captain Trips, baby. Ebola flu, doesn't that sound fun? And it's already been here once!
21. Typhoid Mary; Anthony Bourdain
The really cool thing about this short and sweet little story is that I can hear AB talking.
22. Mapping the World of Harry Potter: An Unauthorized Exploration of the Bestselling Fantasy Series of All Time; Mercedes Lackey, editor
Two of the essays delved so far into fanfiction rather than critical review that I didn't bother to read them, but the rest were actually interesting.
