Books Read So Far

I've mentioned that I have a goal of surpassing last year's reading total, which clocked in at 51 books.  Even though I have no intention of reviewing every book that I've read (look how long it took me to review the three I read on vacation - Geez!), I thought I'd at least keep you updated with a list of what I'm reading this year every so often.  As of February 25th, I've completed:

1. Then We Came to the End - Joshua Ferris
2. A Memory of Light - Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson
3. Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? - Mindy Kaling
4. Between a Mother and Her Child - Elizabeth Noble
5. Warm Bodies - Isaac Marion
6. We are Water - Wally Lamb
7. Friend of my Youth - Alice Munro
8. The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared - Jonas Jonasson
9. Beauty - Robin McKinley
10. Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell
11. Rose Daughter - Robin McKinley
12. The Inheritance - Robin Hobb/Megan Lindholm 

As you can see, I'm doing pretty well so far.  I've enjoyed a lot of what I've read.  There's really only been one that I haven't enjoyed (Between a Mother and Her Child).   I seem to be on a bit of a fantasy kick at the moment.  We'll see how long that lasts for.  I've also been rereading some old books - why buy new ones when you've got some on your shelf collecting dust that you haven't read in years?  In some cases, it's been so long since I read them, that I've forgotten much of the plot. It's like reading a new book all over again - which I guess is an inadvertent case for buying books.  Whoops!  Actually, who am I kidding?  One should never feel bad for buying books!
