January Reads

Books Read:
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
The Egypt Game by Zilpha Keatley Snyder
Fabulous Beast by Jayne Ann Krentz

The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson

A few of the non-book-review posts I made:
Seasons 1-3 of Torchwood , an absolutely fantastic television show
Some thoughts on Ancient Egypt and an observation about the world's first strip club...maybe
Some thoughts on Ancient Mesopotamia: Who doesn't like Ancient Sumerian goddesses?
Woohoo for the BEA and BloggerCon!
Bringing Literature back to English Studies is an important and confusing topic for me

Currently Reading
Reading is rather random right now.  I'm still reading the anthology portion of Gay Rebel of the Harlem Renaissance for my upcoming Classics Circuit post.  My posts on the Ancient World are in conjunction with my reading of Ancient World in Your Pocket.

Really all I'm doing is waiting for my vacation.  I'm spending 10 days in Ft. Myers Beach, and my big plan is reading.  I'm bringing hush, hush, Uglies, The Knife of Never Letting Go, Skeleton Key, Eragon, and Fingersmith. I can not wait.

  1. I'm having vacation-longing. Vacation just sounds so nice right now.

  2. It's funny that I'm so impressed that I finished three books in January and yet everyone around me has 10 or more books read.... :)

    You pay yourself a buck for every book you read this year! Imagine the stash at the end!

    Thanks for visiting my blog.

  5. Have you recently started posting for Sunday Salon? Yahoo Pipes can only take 500 blogs at a time and I know Sunday Salon is already at the 500-blogs mark. You had a great reading month. I hope next month is just as great.

  6. That is going to be some vacation! The big question is...which book are you going to read first?

  7. Amanda - I am so ready to leave. There is nothing quite like vacation.

    Jen - I'm a binge reader. I'll have a month where I read like 15 and then a month where I read 1. It's strange.

    Marie - As long as the weather cooperates I plan on getting a tan and possibly losing a pound or two running on the beach..and of course reading.

    Laurel-Rain - I'd be too tempted to amp it up to like 10 bucks a book and then pick only short books....I'm very good at self-deception.

    Vasilly - I've been a Sunday Salon member for quite awhile. My posts used to show up but they haven't for the past couple of weeks.

    Sandy - That is definitely a good question. I've been pondering and I think I may try The Knife of... first. I am, however, open to suggestions. Which do you think is a good book for the plane?

  8. I love how you read all over the map. And you've got some great books lined up for your vacation.

    Are you going to Captiva/Sanibel Islands while in Fort Myers? I love those beaches ... excellent shells. Enjoy!
