it can also be hard if you are reading in mandarin... haha, what is that book you are reading in the picture? it totally looks like it's written in Chinese!
whew that looks like a pretty good list to me! my goal is to read 12 books this year (one a month). i used to love reading now i never do it! i'm impressed.
One day I will read as much as you! You inspire me!
so many great books this year. everneath. girl of fire and thorns. reached. edenbrooke. for darkness shows the stars. shadow and bone. flame of sevenwaters. shadowfell. my grandfather's blessings (READ THIS ONE!). unearthly. a heart like his. touch of power. and if you like killer angels i have to admit i loved angelfall:).
I am reading Raven Boys right now and having a hard time putting it down - even it spooks me late at night.
Three books each month is most impressive. Two favorites from the past year, one fiction and one non-fiction: "But is it Art?) by Cynthia Freeland, which I have been meaning to read for the last few years and finally did; "Nine Stories," by J.D. Salinger. I read it as a freshman in college and still have the paperback I bought used (new, it was 75 cents). It's stained, warped, and the pages are nearly brown from age but the stories remain amazingly fresh even though some were published as early as 1948, before I was born.
I have got to try a few of these out!! I'm always looking for a good book to read!! :)
