Sanja's 2012 list

I can do this. Though it's almost end of May, I have great faith that I can cut down the number of unread books in my library to a reasonable number. The fact that I got a Kindle for Christmas makes it slightly complicated, but I have faith.

I'm not going to list re-reads, just books that I'm reading for the first time. I'm shooting for at least 40 TBR books out of my library.

1. Remembered Death

2. The Adolescent

I am so happy to be done with this book.

3. The Hollow by Agatha Christie

4. Add More Ing to Your Life

I started this book during a really tough time and it's helped a lot.

5. Wolf Hall

6. Taken at the Flood

I'm slightly disturbed by this book. One of the main characters says that girls that get attacked were asking for it and later ***SPOILER ALERT*** decides that her fiance is the one for her when he almost chokes her to death. WTH

7. An Unsuitable Job for a Woman

I just reviewed this book on my 12 in 12 thread and while I started off being meh about it, I think I ended up talking myself into not liking it. I'll read the rest of the P.D. James books I own, but unless something really changes, I doubt I'll be buying more of them.

8. Asterix Omnibus
9. Asterix Omnibus #2
10. Asterix Omnibus #3

11. Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie

12. They Came to Baghdad

Definitely different from most of the books by Agatha Christie that I've read. Very much a conspiracy on a worldwide scale. Not my favorite but still very entertaining.

13. Steam and Sorcery

A steampunk romance novel. With vampires, werewolves, and fairies, oh my!

14. My Man, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

15. The Old Man and the Sea

16. Twins: And what they tell us about who we are

17. The Elusive Pimpernel

18. Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and Selected Stories

19. The Bell Jar

Sanja,

I take it you like to read Agatha Christie? I have never read anything of hers personally but last time I was over at my grandma's house I found a collection of them. She let be borrow one ("I'm not a library!"). I'm kind of excited to read it.

>19 by simplekind, Her stories are entertaining and she's usually got a nice twist or two that you don't figure out beforehand up her sleeve. Though I will say, she's not my favorite, as I find her stories too short to really get into, among other things. But I do certainly enjoy them for a quick fun whodunnit. :)

Well that explains why my grandma had so many Agatha Christie books. She loves mysteries. I've never been much into the but I'm still excited to read it. I think I'm gonna be more sad to give it back.

>19 simplekind: & >20 .Monkey.: I love, love, love Agatha Christie. I'm reading all her books chronologically. I just love private little murders full of village gossip.

Sanja

Well now I'm even more excited to read this book. The "full of village gossip" has me fascinated.

>23 simplekind:, You should read the Miss Marple mysteries. They're really fun.

20. Right Ho, Jeeves

Yes, I've only read one of the Miss Marple's so far, but I absolutely adored her!

21. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

26 -- what did you think of ALVH? It's sitting in a stack on my book shelf just waiting to be read...

>27 TinaV95:, It was an amusing book and a good read. Definitely fluff, but interesting.

Thanks... I like that description, by the way. Interesting fluff. I may steal that title for one of my categories of reading next year if you don't mind! :)

I think we all need some interesting fluff in our lives (don't think it's vampires for me, however). :)
