While I haven't exactly worn out a library, I've managed to read five books so far this year. I'm pretty happy with that. I'm working on the sixth. There are three more sitting on my bedside table waiting for my attention. Harry Potter #7 will be out in July, and I'll probably try to re-read most, if not all, of the previous books before it arrives. Libba Bray's next book is due out this fall. And (Emmie!) I noticed that Blue Like Jazz is on the 3-for-2 table at the bookstore, so I'll probably pick that up along with two others in the near future.

It's a good reading year.

My conquests to date:

The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards
Such a Pretty Girl by Laura Wiess
A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
Rebel Angels by Libba Bray
Ironside by Holly Black

Current project:
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

In the Wings:
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
In the Company of the Courtesan by Sarah Dunant

Hee. And less than 50% are YA fantasy. Barely.

WAIT! CONNECTION!

The Birth of Venus is by Sarah Dunant. And it is brilliant.

Yes, that is all. And congratulations on that last bit... wish I could say the same. ♥

Oo, I'll have to try The Birth of Venus after I get to the courtesan story!

You need to make some Urs-time! Send your boy to a friend's house, find a comfy chair and turn some pages, woman! (I can be demanding, too!) *hugs*

Also, I found that biography by the woman who played Liesl in The Sound of Music that I told you about forever ago. Did you still want that?

*bounces* Are you sure you want to part with it? I'd send it back if you want. :)

No, I don't need it back. When you're finished you can pass it on to the library or whatever. I've got to thin out my book collection. They'll take up valuable storage unit room if I don't.

BTW, you haven't received my card because I am a slacker who can't seem to make it to the post office. BUT! It is not JUST a card, but a present too! So, hopefully that will help obtain your forgiveness for my delinquency. *puppy eyes*
