I am such a slacker. I didn't post a January review at all.
So here goes.
January-- read 17 books. Three were rereads, one I didn't finish, one LDS fiction, 5 current Reader's Choice and 1 past. I'm not sure I can pick a favorite, there were lots of really good ones.
February-- read 14 books. Six Reader's Choice, 2 Newberry. And I honestly liked almost all of them. :D
On a related note-- I still don't know what features you'd like to see, but I really like the idea of posting quotes/excerpts and the idea of readers picking something for me to review.
So-- what would you like me to review? In March, I'll pick one book suggested by a reader to review. (And another in April, May, etc.)
And I'll start posting excerpts once a week.... Probably on... Wednesdays. Wednesdays sound good.
I still need ideas, though, because I'd like a feature for Saturdays......
You read a lot. Y'know? I'm struggling STRUGGLING to do 1 book a week.
ReplyDeleteI think you should read Orson Scott Card's Lost Boys (if you haven't already). It's written about an LDS family, but it's not LDS fiction. It's kind of a murder mystery, kind of a character book ... it's quite spectacular, I have to say.
I read a rather freakish ammount, it's true.
ReplyDeleteI have actually (gasp!) never read anything by Orson Scott Card. Ever.
Weird, huh?
So, the list of March Possibilities starts with Lost Boys.
I was considering recommending Nic Bishop Spiders, just kidding. :D
ReplyDeleteOn another note I was tramatized by OSC's Lost Boys. Of course I read it when I was like 12 or 13. Can't stand it and have no desire to read it again. The topic freaked me out.
Have you read anything by Jessica Day George? I really like her stuff, fairy tale retellings kind of stuff.
I have read Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George. I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteWhich one should I put on my list of March Possibilities?
Dragon Slippers, just finished it this Saturday and I loved it!!!
