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

Silver on the Tree is the final book of the Dark is Rising Sequence. It falls third in my ranking list. In the book, Will, Bran, the Drew children, John Rowland and Merriman all come together in the final battle against the Dark. I’m of two minds on this book. On the one hand, I
