For starters, I had two books I meant to have read by yesterday. Do you know that I totally seemed to miss that yesterday was the 26th? I thought I still had plenty of time. Told you, bad reading month.
Anyways, my list:
Luck in the Shadows - Lynn Flewelling
Under the Eagle - Simon Scarrow
Vampire Hunter D - Hideyuki Kikuchi
The Friends of Meager Fortune - David Adams Richards (priority)
The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Everything you Know - Zoe Heller (priority)
The Alleluia Files - Sharon Shinn
The Oak Above the Kings - Patricia Kennealy-Morrison
The Well of Lost Plots - Jasper Fforde
Thirteen Moons - Charles Frazier (priority)
Raven's Shadow - Patricia Briggs
The Colony of Unrequited Dreams - Wayne Johnston
This list is for me, just so everyone knows. Then, I can only start 5 new books until all these books are read. Some of these I haven't started, but anyways. And I have to read at least 5-7 books before I can buy anymore books. My birthday does not count. So, I have to read 10-14 books for the new Briggs books, and then another 5-7 before I can get anything else. This should work.
Oh, the five book leeway does not include books I have to read for school. I am in only one novel class, and that is children's literature.
I almost forgot, if I read 6 books between now and next Tuesday, I get the new Wayne Johnston novel.
Just a suggestion. Tithe is a quick and fun read. Plus if you were wanting to count it for a R.I.P. book it definitely qualifies...some terrifying stuff happening in Faerie.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you might want to consider giving away your Lewis Carroll books...unless you're attached to those specific volumes for some reason...and make one of your rewards the Annotated Alice. It is a beautiful, relatively inexpensive hardback book with the original John Tenniel illustrations, has both books in it, and the annotations are fabulous.
Anyway, just my two cents. Pardon my butting in. Look forward to watching you clean the nightstand off!
oops....didn't read the other post first about you completing the challenge! ;)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck I hope that you get through them.
ReplyDeleteOoh, The Colony of Unrequited Dreams is an excellent book. His other one, Navigator of New York, is also very interesting and again focuses on a Newfoundland character (my home province!)
ReplyDeleteI don't see a certain book on the list!!!! :-D
ReplyDeleteI agree that Tithe is a quick read.
ReplyDeleteVengeance in Death is gripping. I really enjoyed that one.
I think I'd start crying if I wrote the list of my TBR. I know it isn't super big but I hate having a TBR!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am doing a bit better on my reading, so hopefully I will have reviews up for both of those soon!
