My BF is a huge Neil Gaiman fan, so we have a large variety of Neil Gaiman’s work here at the house. With Jessi at Casual Dread starting a Neil Gaiman themed challenge, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to delve into the parts of the collection I haven’t touched yet. There are four levels of participation […]

Read for the Vampire Reading Challenge So I managed to stay up about forty-five minutes late on a work night so I could finish Eclipse. I suppose I’m smitten. I’ve been trying to put my finger on why exactly I enjoy this series as much as I have been, and it’s been tough. As a

Kathrin at It’s All About Books is hosting a Vampire Challenge. Since I got a vampire book for Christmas (that I’m dying to read), aim to finish the Twilight books shortly, and am working on the Sookie Stackhouse novels, how could I resist signing up? The challenge is to read at least two books with

I really wish I’d know about Marion Zimmer Bradley’s various short story anthologies back when they were being published. I was in my teens at the time, but she usually had at least one teen in each anthology, and my head is often full of might have beens when I read these books now. At

With 2009 now upon us, I think I can safely say I’ve finished with my 2008 reading. Here’s the list: Seventy-six is a pretty respectable number, but I still want to reach 100. I think about the only way I could do that is to reread a few more books, and not read anything that
I’m on a challenge signing up roll today! (Ok, maybe not, only because I got a little indecisive after completing this list, but I pondered four more challenges!) I really enjoyed Lenneth’s Mythopoeic challenge last year, and she’s put up another challenge for this year that’s right up my alley. I very much enjoy Patricia

I know I said I wasn’t going to do the TBR challenge this year, but there’s now a TBR Lite Challenge, and being able to read 6 books from my TBR pile, and change the list whenever I want to (option B) definitely appeals to me. I know I can switch out the list whenever

Neal Stephenson has a fairly insane imagination. Snow Crash is the story of a guy named Hiro and a girl named Y.T., both of who live in a near future L.A. where society has broken up into innumerable franchises where most people live out their lives in predictable sameness. However, for those who are able

Ok, I have to admit it. Stephenie Meyer spins a good tale. I can’t say I’m teenage girl-level obsessed with this series, but despite the fact that I felt like slapping a little sense into Bella a couple of times in the beginning of this book, I occasionally had a hard time putting it down.

I’m hopelessly addicted to my reading challenges (and my sidebar’s already looking a little empty), so I figured I might as well cave and sign up for at least one reading challenge I know I’m going to do next year. I really enjoyed the 2008 version of the YA reading challenge, so I’m back again
