That's about 4 years of reading for me! Wowzer! This year my numbers suck. I've only finished 36. :( My annual average is somewhere around 80. Don't think I'll hit that this year.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-74668713732164305822009-10-27T07:55:01.516-03:002009-10-27T07:55:01.516-03:00wow, that's a lot of information! :-) I'm ...wow, that's a lot of information! :-) I'm curious to see what you think of the Larsson once you get to it, I didn't like it at all...

It's good to take time off. Last year, I took two weeks off for Christmas break and this year I'm going to mostly take off November for NaNoWriMo. I probably ought to mention that on my blog.<br /><br />I just recently read Westerfeld for the first time, too -- Uglies. And, yesterday I bought Pretties and Specials. Usually, I don't go rushing out to buy sequels, so that shows you how much I liked it.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-71828438898421692362009-10-26T00:18:55.400-03:002009-10-26T00:18:55.400-03:00Ooh Generation A.

Of course, I'm reading it later than when you posted it. :-)<br /><br />I put my drink in the freezer to cool it down faster and just realized I forgot about it. Now it's completely frozen. Oops.<br /><br />Back to your post! I am glad you enjoyed the read-a-thon. I skipped over most of the update posts that filled my Google Reader yesterday. I have to admit that was kind of nice. Since I wasn't participating, I was able to take a little computer break. :-)<br /><br />I am going to start on Lion of the Senet tonight. Don't feel pressured though. I'm a much slower reader than you. LOL Besides, there's not real set time line so when you get to it, is fine.<br /><br />I hope you have a great week, Kelly!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-36695478701992319982009-10-25T18:19:21.412-03:002009-10-25T18:19:21.412-03:00No wonder you feel a blogging break coming on...th...No wonder you feel a blogging break coming on...that post was worthy of several throughout the week!!!

Can't recall as I have a few retellings on there.<br /><br />And I totally understand your need for a blogging break. I say - go for it if you'll feel better for it! ^-^ For me November will probably be about NaNoWriMo, so fewer books to read. I take my laptop to school, so maybe this is a good time to stop fearing it'll fall off my lap if I take it out for usage on the train... *sigh* I'm such a worrywart. I'll possibly inflict everyone with NaNo update posts, though. ^-~ I don't know yet. I do know having a larger group participating will help enormously. ^-^Shanranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-33536291483537083152009-10-25T15:51:12.535-03:002009-10-25T15:51:12.535-03:00I am so impressed by your total, not tiny books by...I am so impressed by your total, not tiny books by any standard and you read 7!
