I saw that crinkledpaper had a book list and wanted do one as well. I haven't read as many books as last year but I love making lists even if it ends up being a short one. For things I've previously read check here.

BOOKS
01. Wicked by Gregory Maguire (this sucked)
02. Firebrand by Marion Zimmer Bradley (this also sucked)
03. The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett (couldn't get into it)
04. Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind
05. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
06. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
07. Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind (too damn long)
08. The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner (A+)
09. Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs (unexpectedly good after the disaster that was vol 3)
10. The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
11. The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner (more sequels pls!)
12. Grave Peril by Jim Butcher (confusing at first, mentions an event that made me think I had missed something but it's just the author failing at flashbacks)
13. The Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan (interesting, looking forward to reading the next volume)
14. Pride, Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and some dude (amusing, all classics should have ninjas and zombies)
15. The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan
16. Summer Knight by Jim Butcher
17. My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding by various authors aka short story anthology (nothing special, more like adverts for their own series)
18. The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan (better than the first, I'm enjoying this series)
19. Death Masks by Jim Butcher
20. Many Bloody Returns by various authors (another short story compilation about vampires and birthdays, not bad)
21. Living Dead In Dallas by Charlaine Harris
22. The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan (this series gets more interesting, a pity it ends so soon)
23. The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan (damn I need to read the last book asap!)
24. Blood Rites by Jim Butcher
25. The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan (somewhat satisfying ending, though it seems like it will be continued in another series)
26 Blood Price by Tanya Huff (boring, irritating character quirks, didn't finish it)
27. Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde/Body Snatchers/Ollala (much shorter than I expected)
28. Dead Beat by Jim Butcher (heh, title makes so much more sense now)
29. Real Murders by Charlaine Harris
30. Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher
31. Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (eh, it didn't hook me)
32. Picture of Dorian Gray (made my eyes glaze over, watching the movie might be better)
33. White Night by Jim Butcher
34. Club Dead by Charlaine Harris
35. Small Favor by Jim Butcher
36. Backup by Jim Butcher (ooh Thomas pov)
37. Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan
38. Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris
39. Dead as a Doornail by Charlaine Harris
40. The Vampire's Assistant by Darren Shan
41. Tunnels of Blood by Darren Shan
42. Turn Coat by Jim Butcher (still digesting it, quite plot heavy)
43. Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris (...well that explains the harem of supe men)
44. All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris (a bit confusing and rushed at the end)

MOVIES
01. Antique Bakery (korean) omfg I loved this so much ♥
02. weird French movie about a masked villian :| I feel the name should be obvious but memory fails hardcore.
02.5 X-Men (this was a rewatch but I felt like mentioning it anyway)
03. Boy Meets Boy (short korean film, weird but adorable in a way)
04. Wall-e
04.5 Aladdin (hey it's been around 15 years since I last saw it, almost everything seemed new xD love the songs)
05. You, Me and Dupree (pretty funny!)
06. Mr. Vampire (parody of Chinese vampires)
07. The Princess and the Frog (actually saw this at the theater! I give it a B)

I can't tell if I really haven't watched any others or if I'm just forgetting some ._.
