At the beginning of each season, I come up with a personal reading list apart from those books to-be-reviewed. I started ever since this summer, when I saw how organized it made me and how efficiently it managed to whittle down my TBR (70%+ completion rate!) Yet I'll admit, I was terrible with following my Fall reading list, just absolutely, pathetically dreadful (33% completion rate).
And I can't even blame NaNoWriMo for a lot of it, though that one month of wild, literary abandon did take a huge bite out of my reading time. More likely though, is that I simply let my leaning tower of books get away from me once again. Seriously, that thing has a mind of its own. Every time I look away, I swear it grows by several more titles.
A lot of the books I didn't get a chance to read last season ones I really wanted to get to, so for Winter, they are coming back, along with some new additions. And this time, I be more realistic with the numbers. Here's my nice and neat metaphorical stack of audiobooks, ebooks and physical books all on hand and ready to go. See anything that looks interesting?

Sooner or later I will fall for the hype and get to Blood Song. And The Bronze Gods, I Falk for Steampunk all the time. Lam's series is a YA that looks like it could appeal to me.
ReplyDeleteGood list.
I've had Blood Song sitting on my shelf forever but it always gets pushed back because it's such a tome. I really need to make time for it! And I just finished reading Lam's book, and oh my god, I loved it.
DeleteAt least 6 of these books are on my must read list as well. It torments me that there just isn't enough time to read. I wish I could read in my sleep =(
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to invent a machine that does that - broadcasting the words from a book into your brain as you sleep :)
