Reading

Just hearing the word “reading” makes my heart beat a little faster. The anticipation of a new book, the cover, the blurb, the first sentence, the opening scene, shocking revelations and discoveries, the ending, then wishing I hadn’t already read it so that I could discover it again.

One of the reasons I can’t wait for my upcoming holidays (aside from my love of all things Christmas) is the reading time. I’m hoping to get at least four books read over the two week break (I’m not being too ambitious here so anything above four books will be a bonus).

I’ve listed below the books that recently arrived on my doorstep (or electronically), some of which will jump the towering “to be read” queue and become Christmas/New Year reading—which includes some recently plugged friends’ books :)


























And waiting to receive:


Okay, so I’ve already read a couple (while I was supposed to be editing), and will try not to read any more before I go on holidays—I’ve put myself on strict book ban and am resolved to doing nothing but editing until December 22.

I've got a lot of those too! Ohhhh what a pretty, pretty list that is.

I saw that you read RIOT BOY, by the way, and thanks so much for checking it out. You're awesome <3

(I'm waiting for SCRIPPED to come, too. They tell me Monday. C'MON!)

Hi James, thanks for stopping by. I'm very much looking forward to reading all of these recently chosen books :)

Aaron, it's pretty impressive, isn't it :)

Katey, I loved Riot Boy - loved both characters and the contrasts between them.
