November Reading

Having just looked up that we are in week 44 of this year and that I have only read 40 books since January 1st, I am starting to fear that I will fail at my target to read 52 books in the 52 weeks of 2012. I need to get a wriggle on!

With that in mind I am going to continue my (seemingly everlasting) struggle with Diary Of An Ordinary Woman in tandem with reading other books instead of ploughing through it alone. I will finish it. One day.

The books I am going to read this month are (hopefully):

Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater

Witch Baby And Me by Debi Gliori

A Perfect Blood by Kim Harrison

and if by some miracle they all vanish before the end of the month I will start Checkmate by Malorie Blackman (again, because I read the first 80 pages then stopped and now have no idea what was happening at all…)

Of course, all of this is on top of me trying to complete NaNoWriMo too. I am doomed.

June Reading

Well, I didn’t do so well with my May list if I’m honest – I finished 2 out of 4 books (Never Let Me Go and Knife Edge). In my defence, at the start of May I didn’t have so much planned but by the 14th I suddenly had the keys to a flat in my hand and a whole lot of decorating to tackle.

As it is, my June list is going to be both short and familiar – I have decorating to complete and lots of ‘things’ happening (everything from weddings to birthdays) so I’m not convinced I will get much reading done.

This month I aim to finish Mockingjay and Spoil of War from my May list along with:

I Wrote This For You by pleasefindthis (which I also started in May despite it not being on my list)

and my ‘extra’ book will this time be Checkmate by Malorie Blackman.
