2009 Reading List

I realized I'd forgotten to update it in the last few months of 2009, so I logged into my library account for help remembering the last few books I read. (P.S.- Isn't it nice of the library to keep a list for me? I like.)

• So it's time to start a new list. I've already got a few to add to the HAVE READ list thanks to the vacation time. And I have my eye on a few other books, too. I think I'll keep Nick and Norah on the list, because the movie was okay, and I'm intrigued to see the similarities between book and movie. Also, the new movie The Lovely Bones is based on a novel that looks like it could be decent.

   From what I did read this year, Karen Kingsbury's Take One and Every Now and Then were as good as the rest of her books are. Thirteen Reason's Why is a youth novel with a very unusual method of story-telling, but it fit the plot perfectly. Lisa McMann's Wake books caught my attention, and I think the third one comes out this year, so that will probably be going on the list. Deadly Little Secret was meh, as was Head Case. I "read" the two Harry Potter's in my car via CD; I'd read them both before in book-form, and it was nice to re-read them during mail trips to the Old Town and Sorrento Mesa offices. 

   I'm off now to search out some new books to try out. If anyone has a recommendation, let me know!
