70 books!

I'm pleased to say I've hit the 70 book mark. Yay.

I hope to finish off at least a couple of more books by the end of the year, but I'm very happy with this result. Not as much as last year, which I think I read a few more graphic novels and shorter works.

20 days to go. Only time will tell.

Happy Reading!

40 books

I've reached the 40 book mark!!!

I finally finished A Game of Thrones. As I said before, I have been savouring this book, reading it bite sized pieces. I had a 100 pages to go yesterday, and so I pushed to finish it. Actually I couldn't sleep, and what better way to pass the night than a great book.

And it was just in time - as the premier of the TV series Game of Thrones starts on Foxtel tomorrow! Yay.

An amazing book, with lots of twists and turns. There was so much I didn't foresee. No spoilers, but those who have read it know what I mean. The wonderful thing is I have more to read of this wonderful tale.

Thank you George R.R. Martin for writing a rich tapestry of characters, on such a grand scale.



Happy reading!

Thirty & Current Reads

I've reached THIRTY items!

Okay, so I'm behind if I want to reach my 100 book goal, but I'm taking it as it comes, and reading bits and pieces of stories, and so it's working for me.

What am I reading:

I'm still enjoying George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. I'm just over halfway, and it's a lovely savoury read. :)

Nalini Singh's Angel's Blood is still my reward book, and I'm about a quarter of the way through. Loving the take on vampires and archangels.

The Stone Mage and The Sea by Sean Williams. I haven't read anything for awhile, so hoping to read more in the coming weeks.

Home Is Where The Bark Is by Kandy Shepherd. I've only just started this, and already, I'm loving it.

Covet by J.R. Ward is on my iPhone, so that gets read when I'm in waiting rooms.

I have others that I have started, but I've postponed for now. I mean how much more can I read at once?
They are:
Medalon by Jennifer Fallon
Betrayal by Fiona McIntosh
Cast In Shadow by Michelle Sagara
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
King Rolen's Kin by Rowena Cory Daniells
