50 Book Challenge: #24
Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol
Anya’s Ghost doesn’t exactly need any more praise, but I found it hilarious, engaging, and memorable. After reading Anya, I think I’ll be adding some more graphic novels to my list.

Throne of Jade by Naomi Novak
To be sure, the best part of the Temeraire series is the relationship between Laurence and Temeraire. Although, I didn’t think it was as successful as the first book I am glad to have read it and will also continue on with the series. To be honest, when finishing up this book I missed my subway stop by two stops, that’s how engrossed I was.

As of March 10th, I have 22 books towards by goal of reading 100 books in 2012. This puts me 4 books a heard of schedule.
Professional Development Books: 5
Young Adult/Children’s Books: 11
Fiction: 6
I have also made 2012 The Year of Sherlock (And Temeraire)! My goal is to complete the four novels and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (12 stories) by the end of the year. I also want to finish ALL of the books in the Temeraire series. I’m thinking about one per month.
Here is a tentative plan for future years:
2013: The Year of Jane Austen (Read five of her novels)
2014: Adventure (Kipling, H.G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, Robinson Crusoe, Jules Verne, Victor Hugo, Jonathan Swift: 6 novels)
2015: Charlies Dickens (5 novels)

Yesterday’s book purchases. I went to one of my favorite used bookstores and they were having a 30% off sale! I got all of this for less than $25. I’m am particularly excited about the Magic School Bus books which were $2 each after the sale and the Fluffy books by Kate McMullan.
