Well, when you think about it, one book a week isn't that much. I've probably read 25 books for Sep-Nov, but I couldn't name all them for you. However they due include the entire James Bond series and Dracula (can't believe I never read that before).

Saturday night means it's time to finally update my list!

November count:
52. The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency ~ Alexander McCall Smith
53. Anansi Boys ~ Neil Gaiman (More Gaiman awesomeness! I <3 Neil)
54. The Looking Glass Wars ~ Frank Beddor
55. Lords & Ladies ~ Terry Pratchett
56. Black Powder War ~ Naomi Novik
57. Empire of Ivory ~ Naomi Novik

Somehow my written list jumped from 54 to 56, so I hope I am not forgetting something here...

12. The Things that are not there By C.J. Henderson

And late once again for this.

Sceptres, L.E. Modesitt
Alector's Choice, L.E Modesitt
Natural Ordermage, L.E Modesitt
Settlers on the Marsh, Frederick Grove

As usual Modesitt's stuff was enjoyable, if nothing super amazing. Settlers on the Marsh really didn’t impress me, so yet another school book that I didn’t enjoy.

So yeah, my final count for 2007 was somewhere around 27.

Well, at least I tried. Either way, I'm currently enjoying the Confessor, by Terry Goodkind. >.>; I've waited long enough to finish his Sword of Truth series.

December count:

58. Paladin of Souls ~ Lois McMaster Bujold
59. Bleak House ~ Charles Dickens
60. Sense and Sensibility ~ Jane Austen

So I wound up slightly short of last year, but still not bad.

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding keeping this thread going another year? Should we call it quits or are people still interested? Would it be easier if I send PM's every month to post to people who want them?

Well, now that it's a new year, I'd like to give it a try and see how many I can get. Consider this my formal sign-up thing.

Teal Mage 01-01-2008 04:59 PM

I'm still game for this. (Maybe I'll break 30 this year :p)

It's nice to be able to see what other things people are reading. Gives me a good idea of which authors to look for whenever I need to find a new series.

But in regards to keeping the thread going, I haven't seen much of a problem in the way it is right now.

New year means I can actually keep track of what I read.

Having just realized that I've already cleared two books, I think I'm off to a good start.

Same here! Woot!

Elminster_Amaur 01-13-2008 11:54 PM

I'd like to do this.
Since the 1st, I've read:

1. How to Win Friends and Influence People ~ Dale Carnegie
2. The Age of Speed ~ Vince Poscente

I'll likely add Modern Physics (a textbook for a class I'm not currently taking) to my list, by the end of this week.
