Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
Time for another buddy review! I am thinking of making these more of a regular feature in 2010. Do you like them? I like them because they are interactive. If anyone wants to do a buddy review with me in 2010, just let me know. If I still owe you a buddy review in 2009 it is nothing against ...

TwentyTen Reading Challenge and Dewey's Mini-Challenge
I wasn't going to join anymore challenges until 2010 was started, but then I remembered I meant to join Darren's challenge and hadn't yet, so first I should do that! (Also, I plan to join a graphic novel challenge and an essay challenge, so I suppose that will be before January, too.) The aim ...

Tomorrow is December First!!!
myreadingbooks.blogspot.com — I got a bit quiet on here. I didn't even do my Sunday post! Mainly because I... had a quiet week reading-wise and have too much on my mind life-wise.

Challenges for 2010
I have been toying around with the idea of joining the GLBT reading challenge next year, but hadn't really made any sort of committment. Then, I was reading Eva's list and discovered that I owned several of those books! I read several GLBT books this year just for fun, so I don't think I will ...

Week in Review

The Time Quartet Read-a-Long
Twitter really is a wonderful place. You can credit it with the birth of a lot of things! Last night it inspired me to write this post, and since I could use some inspiration, I am going to take full advantage of it. One of my favourite authors when I was a young adult was Madeleine L'Engle. ...

Random and Some Reminders
I haven't really been inspired to blog this week. I have been reading, but not finishing anything, so I guess I don't really feel like I have anything to talk about. I am going to write a general post instead. I am reading some really good books at the moment. I am about 200 pages into  ...

Week in Review and Sunday Book Coveting
Random Thoughts I was a bit slack with my blog posting this week! I missed yesterday because of writing emails for the Holiday Swap. I got a late start because of some technological issues, but then I wanted to finish because there are so many things I want to accomplish this week! Actually, ...

Saturday Mini-Reviews: A Catch-up Post
Evernight by Claudia Gray (Evernight Series, Book 1) When I read this book I admit I got a little excited by it. For a moment I thought it was different and that maybe it was better than the teen vampire books that everyone loves and I mostly hate. It was at least better written than a ...
