Here's hoping it isn't the end of the world this year, as the Mayans said! Having that, I won't ask for anything else.
I just thought I'd do one thing today: to list the books I got over the holidays (since I get my books in large chunks at a time, I find IMM wouldn't suit me). So here goes:
Fantasy
- The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
- Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb
- Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
- Runelight by Joanne Harris
- A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin
- A Storm of Swords (Part 1) by George R. R. Martin
- A Storm of Swords (Part 2) by George R. R. Martin
- A Feast of Crows by George R. R. Martin
- The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien
- Unfinished Tales by J. R. R. Tolkien
Non-Fantasy YA
General and Classical Fiction
- Making History by Stephen Fry
- The Book Theif by Markus Zusak
- Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith
- We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
- A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
I've still got a whole host of things to read from 2011 (mostly novels left unread from my Birthday), and I have a friend I'm seeing soon and we've got gifts to exchange. So I might have more. But I hinted at him getting me Tolkien so just assume I got more Tolkien too!
I considered making resolution, but I rather dislike doing that. I can't stick to them beyond February, and though I'll try and change little things, I don't want to make huge commitments. I'll try to post a review at least weekly (I'm sorry, I can't manage much more!) and I'll be installing a daily hour of reading in future.
Happy Reading for the New Year!
