I saw a commercial for the new City of Bones movie and heard that it was based on a book series. I borrowed the first book in the Mortal Instruments series and am already half-way through it! It's pretty good and since I've seen the trailer, I don't have preconceived notions about what the characters look like.

My daughter started reading those- she got about half way through the 1st book and decided that it might give her nightmares. She was given the whole series though so we'll see.

Gena Showalter's next Angels of the Dark book comes out in February, I preordered that. Then JR Ward's next BDB book comes out in March. THEN the next Lords book (Showalter again--I LOVE how fast she writes!) comes out in July.

Gonna be a steamy year!

Patiently awaiting everything you just mentioned!!

John Updike's novel Couples

Fraud Examiners Manual

I think I'm going to start Dog Stars next.

State of Wonder - Ann Patchett

Oh, that was good.

A Throne of Bones by Vox Day (Sequel to Summa Elvetica)
God's Love by R.C. Sproul
American Legends: The Life of General George Patton

The Great Gatsby - Fitzgerald

Probably my favorite novel. A classic!

I haven't read it since HS and another book I am reading keeps referencing it, I just had to re-read it! Loved the movie, too.

There's a new Gatsby movie coming out this summer.

I read it in HS and didn't like it at all. Read it a few years later and liked it much better.

Last year I decided to read Tale of Two Cities again. We were forced, nearly at gun point to read it in HS and I truly despised it. So I decided that perhaps viewed through the window of time, that it would have deeper meaning and that I would better enjoy the lyric that is Dickens' writing....
Nope, still hate that book.

Currently reading Life of Pi, anxiously awaiting the new Kim Harrison and JR Ward.



I picked up the first book a while back but only got a couple chapters in. It just didn't hold my attention.

I need to figure out if I can squeeze in a reread before JRW's next release!

That's my plan for the part of March between Frost Burned and Lover at Last.

My anticipated release lineup is:
1/22 - Kim Harrison, Ever After
3/5 - Patricia Briggs, Frost Burned
3/26 - JR Ward, Lover at Last
3/26 - Carrie Vaughn, Kitty Rocks the House

I own the first 4 books in this series- Didn't realize until last week there were more!!

I downloaded a few book for Morgan the other day and I grabbed a freebie for myself - The Secret Garden.

I am also reading a horror novel I found when I moved.

Reading is really not my "thing" so this is big for me and part of my 2013 goals.

Oh I never finished those... and I can borrow them from the library too! ::adds to list::

Robert Crais "Suspect"
Patrick Rothfuss "Name of the Wind"

and listening to
Peter Heller "Dog Stars".

Love Crais!

Currently, Picoult's "Second Glance"

Kim Harrison, Ever After

John Barry's "The great influenza pandemic"
