I’m going to try and take do a better job of tracking my book challenges and stuff in 2012 and I thought a good way to do that would be to do a month in review on the last day of every month – so here’s the first shot at it.
– Audio books – still, yes STILL, listening to The Marriage Plot. (We may never finish – even though I’m enjoying it.)
– Steampunk – 1
– Adoption – 0
– Queer – 2
– From the Stacks – 1
– Cybils – 0
– Nancy Drew – 0
– 1001 Books to Read Before You Die and 1001 Books to Read Before you Get Old – well I looked at both lists. I made a cursory shot at figuring out which ones I’ve read and have determined, nope. Can’t even begin to think about doing either of these. There are too many books and not enough time. Maybe when I retire. Or something.
Total books read – 11 12
Total books quit – 1
Print books still in progress – 1 0
– YA – 6
– Non-fiction – 1
– Graphic Novels – 1
Oy. I need to pick up the pace a bit, don’t I?
I like the review idea! For me it was only 1 book read, which puts me perilously behind on my 40 books for the year. It was that darned_The Windup Girl_. It falls under my steampunk challenge, but I could not get into it. I have trouble with books where a made up language and a foreign language are used…simultaneously. My brain has trouble with that. So, I’m saving it for later and I skipped happily along to Mockingjay. I anticipate finishing it in another day or two. I’ve sworn off graphic novels after The Sandman by Neil Giaman…not my thing. And…I think…I may have only ever read one or two Nancy Drew books. Shame on me! Good luck on your challenges!
