The History of the reading list challenge.
So one day Evie says, "Let's make a list of what we are going to read next." So we make a list.
(All those books you have said you wanted to read but never got around to reading.)
Then someone says, "Let's make a due date for the list to be completed." So we make a due date.
The list was such a hit that all the ladies at Shelfari (Anything Goes group) decide we should make a blog (thanks to Angel) for a book list every month.
The blog is called Living by The List Challenge .

So here is a my January list:
1. At Graves End by Jeaniene Frost
2. Dragon Wytch by Yasmine Galenorn
3. Impossible by Nancy Werlin
4. Lord of Misrule by Rachel Caine
5. The Becoming by Jeanne C. Stein (Alt. Replacement)
6. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
7. Sunshine by Robyn McKinley
8. Chosen by PC Cast

Alternatives:
Tall, Dark, & Dead by Tate Hallaway
One More Bite by Jennifer Rardin
Touch the Dark by Karen Chance

And yes I am ready to change this list already!

I love the way Anne Bishop's mind works! I always enjoy learning more about the realms and the people who live there. I have also grown a lot fonder of the Sadist **daydreaming** :)
Some people say it follows the Black Jewels Trilogy but due to finances and the library, I have now just read it (ya out of order, something I hate to do). Although Anne Bishop's website says this book could be read as a stand alone.

This book was really enjoyable and fast pace. I love this book because it doesn't have you saying, "Just get together already", or "You know you love him, quit being a bitch about it!". I look forward to the next book, due out Dec. 30th, to see where Cat or the all to sexy Bones will take us.

It is true that I have finally finished the 900 page book Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey! I had to read the 1st half of the book in increments but around page 300 this book finally took on a meaning that made the struggle worth it. What can say about this book but WOW!! It is heavy reading, some of the heaviest I have done in a while. I plan on reading the rest of the series but no way can I do it back to back.
Thanks Candace for the recommendation, I LOVED it!!

Well by the time I finished reading the book, I really liked it. My only complaint is that the book didn't really pick up until halfway through. I just felt like the 1st half had Zoey repeating the same thought over and over again. But the 2nd half made up for it all with a couple of surprises that will keep me reading this series.

I am still reading Kushiel's Dart and I am starting to be able to tell it's going to be good. With that being said, this book is a heavy read and I am having trouble trying to read to much at once. So I am taking a breather and reading Betrayed by PC Cast. I waited a long time for this to come from the library and it is almost due. I hate when all my holds from the library come in at the same time.

Also I did buy One Foot in The Grave by Jeaniene aout 2 weeks ago and still haven't read it! Uggg!!!

So many books so little time!!

OK, I am going to give the whole review thing a try. I really enjoyed this book. LKH held back the sex scene's (maybe a little to much), but the story line was awesome and flowed really well. There were also some surprises I did not see coming. As with all Merry's books, this book was packed with magic. I was happy I read in her myspace blog that this was not the final book in the Merry Gentry series because with that ending, that's what I would have thought.

I stopped reading Wolfsbane and Mistletoe, I couldn't get into it after Sookie's story, so I am going to start reading Swallowing Darkness by Laurell K Hamilton. I am still reading Kushiel's Dart, but I am reading that one in spurts.

(Also, any book I choose to stop reading is not counted as books I have read)

Friday, December 12, 2008

Well, as of right now I am still working on how to put up an app for what I am currently reading, until that time I will just post it.

I am reading: Kushial's Dart by Jacqueline Carey
Wolfsbane and Mistletoe by Various authors including Charlaine Harris, Kerri Arthur, & Patricia Biggs to name a few.

Getting there!!

Little by little this blog doesn't look so naked!!

I am new to this and the only reason I started this is so I can join a reading challange. But time will tell if I post more than just the books I read :)
