Post by anna09 » Sun Jan 01, 2012 3:24 pm

Time to start over! :cheer:

Same rules apply:

Books must be at least 50 pages.

Rereads count.

Textbooks count as well, as long as you've read the whole thing.



Hopefully more people will participate this year! Get reading people! :lay:

I never got around to updating my list last year-- got bogged down in synopses and feeling bad about re-reads. Maybe I'll try not to half-ass it this year...

1. Flying Solo by Carol M. Anderson and Susan Stewart - social politics, rather Merka-centric but containing much on the universal level that is both insipring and enraging.
2. A Girl Like You by Gemma Burgess - chicklit mind candy for a woman who's ill in bed. Cough, cough.
