Blog RSS FeedReading in 2010, end-of-March update
Happy Easter! I hope everyone is enjoying the day and not eating too many jellybeans and chocolate bunnies.
Just thought I’d give an update on what I read in March. I’m pleased to say that unless I forget how to read, my goal of 40 books in 2010 shouldn’t be a problem! In fact, I’ve almost read more in three months of 2010 than I read in the whole of 2009. Hurray!
Here’s what I read in March:
Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr
Unclutter Your Life in One Week by Erin Doland
SuperFreakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton
The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett (which immediately shot onto my favorites list!)
Evermore by Alyson Noel
Not as many books as in February, because these revisions are taking up most of my time.
And the good news is, the TBR pile is full of yummy books I can’t wait to get to. I must admit I’m a little scared of tackling Stephen King’s Under the Dome. Because I have a feeling it will turn my “what I read this month” list into a list of one.
Funny thing about that. I bought that book with Beautiful Creatures by Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia. I set them on the shelf in the office and went back a couple of days later to get BC. I stood there, scanning the shelves, totally unable to find it. Finally, I located it–it was the skinny book next to Under the Dome. Yes, we’re talking about a 600-page book that looked downright scrawny next to the shoebox-sized Stephen King book.
Maybe that’s not funny. What is funny, to me at least, is that I loaned Little Sis The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. She devoured it, forsaking even reality TV to make time for reading. The husb and I went out to dinner the other night, and when we came home, Little Sis pounced on me and said, “Where is it? Where’s the sequel? I know you have it!” She was dying to start in on Catching Fire. Later, I asked her what she’d done that night, and she said, “I read… and then I spent an hour looking for that book!”
So, touché, Suzanne Collins, I’m pretty sure my little sister likes your book better than mine.

Happy Easter to you and your housemates!
Thank you! Yours, too.
So tell me, how is the “uncluttering” coming along?
can’t wait to hear your thoughts on those books– I read 1 book of the evermore and still want to read the dead tossed waves too. I shared with my sister the books too of the Hunger Games
Happy Easter to you too.
So did you read Beautiful Creatures? Because I’m interested in your take.
Not tackling Stephen King until summer gets here, myself.
