So far this year I have read:
1. In Death 2: Glory in Death - J. D. Robb I am loving this series. 2. Immortal in Death - J. D. Robb 3. Vampire academy 6 :Last Sacrifice - Richelle Mead I did like it, but I was expecting some more action. 4. In Death 4: Rapture in Death - J. D. Robb My favourite so far! 5. Riyria Revelations 3: Nyphron Rising - Michael J. Sullivan Loved this one. Arista rocks! 6. The Replacement - Brenna Yovannof Just plain boring, but had and interesting concept. 7. In Death 5: Ceremony in Death - J. D. Robb Wasn't quite as good as some of the previous In Death books, imho. 8. The Riyria Revelations 4 - The Emerald Storm - Michael J. Sullivan I am not too into ships and sea voyages so this one didn't do it for me as much as the others in the series. 9. Fever 5: Shadowfever - Karen M. Moning Amazing finale to a great series. Loved it. 10. Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie Perkins Love, love, love this book! Ranks right around Perfect Chemistry and Return to Paradise for me. 11. Hollowland - Amanda Hocking Wow, awesome YA zombie book! Has everything I love; great characters, interesting story, action, and love. I am hoping for a sequel. 12. A Kiss in Time - Alex Flinn I thought Flinn's other fairy tale re-telling, Beastly, was much better. The characters fell flat. |

I'm a horrifically slow reader, so I won't hit 100, but I thought it might be fun anyway to keep track of my reading this year.
Some of these books are ones I'm teaching this semester for a course on Romanticism in Spanish literature (but still a joy to read, of course, since I can choose what to teach), and will be labeled as such. So far: January 1. Hyperion, by Dan Simmons 2. Don Juan Tenorio, by José Zorrilla (for teaching) February 1. El estudiante de Salamanca, by José de Espronceda (for teaching) 2. Don Álvaro o la fuerza del sino, by Duque de Rivas (for teaching) March 1. Wishful Drinking, by Carrie Fisher 2. No More Dirty Looks: The Truth About your Beauty Products and the Ultimate Guide to Safe and Clean Cosmetics, by Siobhan O’Connor and Alexandra Spunt 3. El señor de Bembibre, by Enrique Gil y Carrasco (for teaching) 4. At Home: A Short History of Private Life, by Bill Bryson 5. The Most Human Human: What Talking with Computers Teaches Us About What It Means to Be Alive, by Brian Christian April 1. The Dream of Reason: A History of Philosophy from the Greeks to the Renaissance, by Anthony Gottlieb 2. The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary, by Simon Winchester 3. Fall of Hyperion, by Dan Simmons 4. The Clockwork Universe: Isaac Newton, the Royal Society, and the Birth of the Modern World, by Edward Dolnick May 1. In The Plex: How Google Thinks, Works, and Shapes Our Lives, by Steven Levy Last edited by bookfiend; 05-12-2011 at 09:56 AM. |
