Okay, I know I said no updates, but I couldn't help myself. Since I keep track of what I read every year, and I keep a journal from September 1st to August 31st, I've recently closed out one year. But back in January, I made a list of the 30 books I wanted to read this year. Here's been my progress.
* A Town Like Alice, Nevil Shute - DONE
* Goodnight Mister Tom, Michelle Magorian - DONE
* The Shell Seekers, Rosamunde Pilcher
* A Suitable Boy, Vikram Seth
* Swallows And Amazons, Arthur Ransome
* Noughts And Crosses, Malorie Blackman
* Mort, Terry Pratchett
* The Magic Faraway Tree, Enid Blyton
* Good Omens, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
* Perfume, Patrick Süskind
* Black Lyon, Jude Deveraux - DONE
* Devil's Bride, Stephanie Laurens - DONE
* Devil in Winter, Lisa Kleypas - DONE
* Once Upon a Knight, Jackie Ivie - DONE
* The Duke & I, Julia Quinn - DONE
* A Gentle Feuding, Johanna Lindsey - DONE
* A Knight's Vow, Lindsey Townsend - DONE
* Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake, Sarah MacLean
* Highland Warrior, Monica McCarty - DONE
* Highland Rebel, Judith James
* The Sensation, Rebecca Flanders
* Angel's Wings, Anne Stuart
* Songs in the Whirlwind, June Masters Bacher
* Water for Elephants, Sarah Gruen - DONE
* Highland Dragon, Kimberly Killion - DONE
* Sense and Sensibility and Seamonsters, Ben H. Winters - DONE
* Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Sedaris - DONE
* The Highlander's Touch, Karen Marie Moning - DONE
* Obstacles Welcome, Ralph De La Vega - DONE
* Ministries of Mercy, Timothy Keller
So I'm at 16/30. Not sure I'm going to get through the other 14, given the size of my TBR pile, and that's To Be Reviewed, not To Be Read. Lots of books to get through. I do want to get through a couple more of these BBC books, which are about the first ten in the list. But we'll see.
I also really want to read this Tim Keller book. And hopefully review it here. We'll see how that goes, too. If wishes were horses, I'd get a lot more books read. And written. Anyway, there have been some gems in this pile. And some duds. My favorite has probably been the KM Moning book. It set me off reading the rest of those books in her Highlander series. So that's a good thing. Great writer.
What about you? Read anything good this year?
