Library

I finished the New Moon book while I was in San Luis Obispo and just checked out the next 2 books in the series at the library. I'm not sure which number I'm on on my 100 books a year list. It's getting hard to keep track of. I just know I'm way behind. I keep picking long books, and sometimes I don't get around to reading every day.

Bitterwood & Coyote Waits

I just finished reading Bitterwood a few minutes ago.It's a fantasy story of a world where dragons rule over humans.

I've read a few chapters of Coyote Waits so I guess I will continue on hoping to catch up with my goal of reading 100 books a year.

Druids

I finished Druids. It's the 2nd time I read it. It's pretty complicated, especially at the end.

I could have sworn I took a photo of each book as I was reading it, but now I can't find the photos of Inkheart or Ender's Game or Changling. Hmmm.
Right now I'm reading Coyote Waits by Tony Hillerman and Bitterwood by James Maxey.

Druids and Da Vinci

Yesterday I finished reading Druids by Lewellyn. It took me a long time because I kept getting bogged down in the battle scenes and the pronunciation of Roman and Celtic names. I would never want to read that book outloud. I'd be tripping all over my tongue. I need to check if that was my fifth book or sixth book.

I'm still reading a book about Da Vinci. I have two Tony Hillerman books waiting in the wings. And someone gave us a big box of LaMour books so even if I'm not really into westerns that much, I'm thinking it wouldn't kill me to read them. I've been tripping over them in the hallway for a year.
What are the rest of you reading?

Next book

I finished my Inkheart book and I'm going to read Changling next. It's a shorter book than the last two I read so hopefully I'll get to catch up. This will be book number 5 I think.

I was at a birthday party when out of the blue a friend started talking about Ender's Game. For once I could say, "I just read that."

I was at the library again today to pick up Green Mars for my boyfriend. He's already read Red Mars out of his own collection and was happy to get the sequel in the trilogy. I already checked out Blue Mars so he's got 2 books to read before he runs dry again. He's a fast reader. I was going to read Red Mars, but I already have five or six books lined up to read.

Book Goal Title #2

Happy to report I finished my second book called Witchling. I'll keep my eyes open for the sequel that is called Changeling. It was a fun read but on the R-rated side. I'm halfway through Druids as well. I picked up Red Mars and Blue Mars at the library but when I got home my boyfriend told me there was a book in the middle called Green Mars, so I'll look for that while I'm reading Red Mars. He just finished his own copy of Red Mars only to find out a page was ripped out just before the end. So I got the library copy so he could read what he missed.

Reading Goal

I read some tips from other readers that managed to read 100 books a year. First off, they are in the process of reading more than one book at a time. Which makes sense. You can have a book near anywhere you tend to sit, so by the bed, by the couch, and in the bathrooms, and in the car. You spend more time reading instead of hunting for the book. So I'm down with that.

I've also started reading with a bookmark. I don't need it all the time, but when the TV is on or people are talking, I can put it under each line I'm reading and then find my place a lot quicker if I have to look up and talk to someone.

Right now I'm in the middle of reading Druids. And I have Coyote Waits by Tony Hillerman sitting by my computer so I can read that when I get a chance.

I also want to go to the library soon. I'd like to read Twilight and Inkheart so I can at least get on the waiting list for those.
