October!

23. Question of Blood, Ian Rankin. It was alright, very dialogue heavy though. Bit slow.

24. Farrier's Lane, Anne Perry. Slow at first, but turned out to be very good.

Reading another Anne Perry on a friend's recommendation. Breach of a Promise.

October count!

15) The First Law Book 2 - Before They Are Hanged, Joe Abercrombie

I also re-read Book 1, but I didn't think it should count as I already listed it earlier this year. I skimmed a bit, too.

Yes, meeting Neil Gaiman was awesome, even if the book was pre-signed because he broke his finger in China.

Anyhow, October count:

36. The Valkyries ~ Paulo Coelho Still awesome

37. Tunnels ~ Roderick Gordon This is another book I borrowed from my boss. It's for young people and it's going to be a movie. The next book in the series is coming out in...April, I think. So far, it's been pretty good.

38. Eclipse ~ Stephenie Meyer I am now 3/4 through the Twilight saga and it's still great. I can't wait to read Breaking Dawn.

I am currently working on rereading The Winds of the Forelands, a series of 5 books by David B. Coe, in the hopes of getting them to Fencer sometime this century. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who reads epic fantasy. It moves very fast and has great characters.

I don't think I'll make it to 50 books this year, which makes me sad, but oh well.

Okay, so that's like since this summer. I'm the nerdiest, most literature-hardy IT major you don't know?

I'd give a month-by-month if my memory didn't suck, so just roughly from July on.

At least I got extra nerd cred with the Salvatore. >.>

If by "extra" you mean sooooooooo very much of it taken away.

Jesus, why not just read vampire romance novels?

Because I'm not a teenage goth queen.

...

Okay, so maybe those pictures were fake, what of it?

I'm just saying, show me one significant difference between Twilight vampires and fucking dark elves.

Oh, so that explains why I like them both.

Granted, I haven't read any Salvatore in a few years.

Keep forgetting to do this... November count!

16) The First Law Book 3 - Last Argument of Kings, Joe Abercrombie

17) Watership Down, Richard Adams

25. Breach of a Promise, Anne Perry.

A good book, but it only counts for one.

And I was off to such a good start this year too. -.-

Oh well, what can you do.
