Reading, reading, reading …

• Posted in About Books

One of my goals this year has been to read more. Right now, I’ve read more than 50 books so far this year. Not too bad, but not as many as I’d hoped. Then again, I’ve also written more books/stories this year and done all the promotion, etc. that goes along with a new release. I guess it all evens out in the end.

Anyway, I thought I’d share some of the books in my TBR pile right now. Here goes:

The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa: This is the second book in her Iron Fey young adult series. I really need to get caught up on these books because I’ve heard a lot of good things about books three and four, The Iron Queen and The Iron Knight. Plus, I think she has really gorgeous book covers.

Hounded by Kevin Hearne: I saw a lot of good reviews for this book, the first one in Hearne’s Iron Druid urban fantasy series, so I bought it for Wheezley. The nice thing about having a significant other who also reads fantasy is that I can buy books for him that I want to read too. Ssh. Don’t tell Wheezley that, though.

Among Thieves by Douglas Hulick: This is an epic fantasy that sounded like it would be a fun read. Plus, I just like stories about thieves.

Sweet Valley Confidential: Ten Years Later by Francine Pascal: I loved the Sweet Valley High books when I was younger and want to see what the characters are up to in this story.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson: I know, I know. I’m probably the only person who hasn’t read this book yet. Then again, I haven’t read The Da Vinci Code either.

I’m hoping to read these soon, and I’d like to whittle my TBR pile down a bit before I buy any more books, but Christmas will be here before you know it … What can I say? I love books. 😉

What about you guys? What are you reading and enjoying right now? What books are you looking forward to this year?

    A little something named Spider’s Revenge is next on my TBR pile- have been saving it for a flight back to Scotland- I can never sleep and you’re the only one who can keep me from going out of my mind with boredom. I’ve also got Lee Child’s The Affair, and I’m counting down to Elizabeth Hoyt’s next book.
    A bit random, but after reading your reviews, I’ve started keeping a list of the books I’ve been reading, and writing a few comments on the particular book or author if I’ve got any. I love it! It’s so great to know how much I’ve been reading, to look back and see if I particularly liked an author or not, etc. Of course now my organized side has kicked it- I’ve just been writing in a word doc. Do you have a particular way of keeping track of things?

      Cool. Hope you enjoy SPIDER’S REVENGE. I’ll probably get THE AFFAIR for Christmas. I like the Jack Reacher books.

      Well, I do my reviews here on the blog so that helps me keep track of things. I also have a Word doc where I list what I’ve read by month, and I keep a database of all the books I’ve read. I also post my reviews on Goodreads. I think the site is a fun way to keep track of what you’ve read and what you would like to read in the future. But just do what works for you and have fun with it. Good luck!

    I am in the thick of the Eva Dallas/Roarke extravaganza in J.D. Robb’s “In Death” series. First time reading anything from Nora Roberts.
