Where did October go? I seriously do not know. I knew it was just crazy (but good!), and now it is November and I am still going crazy. I had planned to blog several times here, really, but gah, all I want to do when I go home after work is sleep. Sleep. Sleep. And I think I will still be busy until 2012 ends. :( I feel like I’m going to crash at any time and like I would need a Nolan N90 helmet to stop me from getting too burned out. Gah.
But I will still try to read, I promise. I always do. I think it’s one of the things that keep me sane. :o
I realized that I didn’t have a Required Reading post last November because I was too busy with NaNoWriMo. I almost didn’t want to have a post for this year because I am still busy, but I realized — what the heck. It’s not like there are brand new books on my list anyway. And nothing’s stopping me from trying, right?
But first, October!
- The Viewless Dark by Eliza Victoria (4/5) – Totally creeped me out. I liked it! I have a bunch of Eliza’s book pending for review. One day I will write about all of them!
I’m still in the middle of The Historian and Isle of Blood, and honestly I don’t know when I will be able to read them, but I am easing pressure on myself. Because it’s never fun to be pressured, yes?
On to this crazy, crazy month!
- The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova — still ongoing, and I’m halfway through! :) I can definitely finish this before the discussion.
- The Complete Adventures of Charlie and Mr. Willy Wonka by Roald Dahl – this is for our December discussion, and I kind of want to get tot his earlier than usual so I won’t cram. We will be discussing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , but since I saw this book has both Charlie stories in, I decided to get this one instead. This should be an easy read, right?
- The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater – only because November plays a big part in this novel. I have no idea if I will be able to crack into this, though.
Here’s to trying this November. It will be crazy, but I will definitely try. :)
Scorpio Races is easy to read, but it sucked for me. haha! Yay for November reads!
It seems like there’s a lot of mixed opinions for The Scorpio Races. Haha, let’s see which side of the fence I end up. :)
Good luck to your readings this month, Tina! I will be on the lookout for your review of The Scorpio Races. :)
Here’s my list: http://lynaireads.luigiandlynai.net/2012/11/required-reading-november-2012/
The Viewless Dark by Eliza Victoria (4/5) – Totally creeped me out. I liked it!
:D
Stiefvater can write, that I can tell. But where is the story…?!! Good luck on Scorpio Races, hope it works for you. :)
