back to the Blab about Books

So far I have only read the Apothecary by Maile Meloy.

And I finished reading The Golden Compass by Philp Pullman, which I had started in December.

I've read one book so far; Never Kiss a Witch by Hortense Ulrich. I wouldn't call it great literature. :)

I just finished Pendragon-The Merchant of Death, but I started that in December. Does it still count? I'm starting The Return of the King now. So confusing...

@SC: YOU READ Anna Dressed in Blood AND Daughter of Smoke and Bone. WERE THEY GOOD? (notice how I respectfully DeCapitalize the books' names.) :P

And... it seems that it's your New Year's resolution to read them. AKA you haven't read them. But YOU OWN THEM? I PUT THEM (actually, only DaughterofSaB) ON HOLD AT THE LIBRARY AND I'M 7/9 HOLDS!

Hmm, glad to find other incurable bookworms out there :)

I just finished the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix.  Awesomeness.

Can I quote you on that? The incurable bookworm phrase is probably what my friends have been searching for years.

SC--Nah, it's copyrighted :)  ...Use it all you want.

I just got "the inventions of Hugo Cabret" from the library.  The illustrations look amazing!

Oh let's see... Life of Pi and Audition (theatre textbook) so far I think. Oh and if we're counting book-length fanfiction, the first book of laughably-terrible HP fic Rose Potter ((which you should not look up because it's NSFW))

What did you think of Life of Pi?

I've read um... J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography, which was wonderful, and I've embarked on an LotR reread. I'm only going to count that as one book once I've finished, because pedantry.

Liked it a lot. It was pretty... squicky at some points (Zebra gets eaten alive, for example. And that isn't a spoiler, it's at the beginning).
