50 Book Challenge 2012 AKA Anna Will Kick Your Arse

[Ronja]

Uh, oh - will I be able to remember them all? Oh well, here goes anyway:

1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
2. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
4. The History of The Hobbit: Volume I: Mr. Baggins
5. The History of The Hobbit: Volume II: Return to Bag-End
6. The King's Speech
7. 84 Charing Cross Road
8. The Black Gryphon
9. The White Gryphon
10. The Silver Gryphon
11. The Oathbound
12. Oathbreakers
13. Oathblood
14. By the Sword
15. Arrows of the Queen
16. Arrow's Flight
17. Arrow's Fall
18. Winds of Fate
19. Winds of Change
20. Winds of Fury

21. Storm Warning - adds an entirely new dimension (or two, or three, or four, depending on how you count). Quite interesting IMO.
22. Storm Rising - develops the new aspects nicely, kept me awake for sure
23. Storm Breaking - a bit predictable, yet in other places not really. I liked this one, too.
24. Owlflight - again a new aspect to Valdemar, and a new type of hero. Also to my liking.
25. Owlsight - a new style of describing a heroine: has more depth and a bit less "fantasy formula" than some of the earlier books
26. Owlknight - a weird combination of predictability and a number of surprises. Still quite read-worthy.
27. Take a Thief - LOVED this one! So different a hero & background, and so much depth to already known and intriguing characters
28. Brightly Burning - tragic in a way that was so easy to see coming, yet an engaging story. "Purer" fantasy than 21-27
29. Cat's Eyewitness - so silly it has to be entertaining, yet had a gory streak, too
30. Hiss of Death - not as engaging as the other "cat mystery", too much current politics thrown in for my taste
31. Job, a Comedy of Justice - I really liked this one, it is pretty thoroughly absurd
32. Metusaleh's Children - intriguing, and will give you a head ache if you try to think about it logically

I'm quite sure I have forgotten some (I usually re-read at least a few Agatha Cristies every summer) - I'll add them when I remember.
