Great list! And that doesn't even count the manuscripts you've read -- or the multiple times you've had to read your own manuscripts.
ReplyDeleteI thought about counting up how many I've read on my Kindle this year, just to see. I know I read more on my Kindle in one year than probably the previous two years combined ...
I want a kindle fire.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I'll have to check out the ones I haven't already read. I LOVED Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the list. I copied it and will begin to explore it. Oh, I love to read...I wish it had calorie burning capabilities.
ReplyDeleteThat's still an impressive list! I know people who can't even get through a list of ingredients.
ReplyDeletethats awesome!
ReplyDeletenot to mention all the crit reading could prob fill a couple of books!
What a wonderful list. I've been interested in The Marbury Lens for some time...have it on my TBR. Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteAngela, The Marbury Lens was an excellent book.
ReplyDeleteDang.
ReplyDeleteOoo! Great list! I'm next in line at the library for Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteNice list! I always think about doing this, but never seem to get it done...
