Oooh - I'm excited for this. I'm *pretty* sure I read 50 last year, but didn't keep good enough track. We shall see for this year!
Just finished The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan. Loved it!
Read the second one - The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan. Also read Tribes We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin, which I did not like as much.
Awesome timing for reading the Wheel of Time - I understand the last book is due out sometime this year.
Just finished Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. Apparently I am fantasy-heavy so far this year. That's fine with me. :)
Just read Queen of the Darkness Book 3 of the Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. Also read Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey.In some non-fantasy news, I also read Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison.
Total so far = 7 books.
I'm reading "Gilead" right now and find it beautifully written. I keep it to read when I'm waiting for kids so that I only read a few pages at a time and I'm liking it that way. Doing it that way makes it feel like a series of short stories that are all lovely and insightful.
Lisa, I agree with you. I believe that Gilead, while it could not be described as "gripping", was definitely beautifully written and a compelling tale. It inspired many rambling discussions regarding the meaning of family and religion and secrets and love and parenthood. All in all a great book.
Lately I've read the following:Katherine by Anya Seton
Mistborn The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
So, I'm officially at 10 books. If I keep reading at this pace, I should be fine.
Just finished The Crown Conspiracy by Michael J. Sullivan. It was my first Goodreads' author book and I definitely enjoyed it. Will be looking for the rest of the series.
Lately I've read The Winter King A Novel of Arthur by Bernard Cornwell
The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson
Kushiel's Chosen by Jacqueline Carey
Total of 15 books so far.
