Here's the delightful breakdown of my 2012 reading. It's a lot to sort through and there are so many reasons to love so many different things. So here's the deal: if I posted it, I generally loved it (sometimes I was posting about challenges, review works, etc.) But if you threaten to tickle my feet until I name ten books I'd force on anyone, they'd be:
 |
| A Land More Kind Than Home by Wiley Cash |
 |
| The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt |
 |
| Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn |
 |
| The Fault in our Stars by John Green |
 |
| The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson |
 |
 |
| The Silence of Trees by Valya Dudycz Lupescu |
 |
(Leaving out anything that was part of a series made this a lot easier, I have to say.)
Whatcha got lined up for 2013's reading? I've got a silly project I'll post about later, plus, well, lots and lots of books. At the moment I'm working my way through the Rooster tournament picks, and filling in various things from other people's 2012 lists, but there will be much more to come, I'm sure.
I am on the Rooster List for sure. Sounds like some great and unconventional reads (for me, anyway). Can't wait for your project. If you think you's is silly, then you haven't seen the list for #36in12.
ReplyDeleteAs always, you inspire me!
Okay, S, I've posted my silly project! And if your #36in12 is starting with Heyer as I'm guessing from Goodreads, I'm impressed already.
ReplyDeleteYou should join the Rooster discussion group I'm on in Goodreads. It's a bright group. Since last year's Rooster we've been reading a few potential contenders, and I've got way too many good recommendations from them.
