Brandi's 50 for 2009

[Brandi]

I've always loved to read, but for about 4 years I just couldn't get into anything I picked up. So I just didn't even try. But something happened about a year and a half ago and now I can't stop. I'm even find myself involved in two or three books at one time, which is so unlike me. So I thought I would challange myself this year and see if I could make it through 50 books.

1.) For Molly

I had been wanting to read this book ever since I heard about it 9 years ago. The author is from my hometown and the book is set in my hometown of Pineville, LA.

Off to a slow start, but I've got two more that I'm working on....

2.) Michael Palin Diaries The Python Years, 1969-1979

[Brandi]

3.) Memories of John Lennon

[Brandi]

4.) The Atonement Child

[Aprile]

You are doing well! Keep up the book work!

[Brandi]

5.) John Lennon The Life


Loved it.

6.) Slaughterhouse-Five

This one is a re-read. This was the book that made me fall in love with Vonnegut.

7.) The Boleyn Inheritance

[Brandi]

8.) The Plague

I didn't think I would ever finish this one. The last hundred pages took forever. It actually got a little interesting for me when all the stuff with the Swine Flu started. But all in all I wasn't that impressed with it. I'm just glad to be done with it so I can move on to something else.

9.) Wicked The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

10.) Plain Truth

[Mary Todd]

congrats on your first ten!

11.) A Confederacy of Dunces

12.) If You Could See Me Now

[Brandi]

13.) Twilight

I thought all the hype around Twilight was a little crazy, so I put off reading it. But my curiosity finally got the better of me (especially after not hearing a single bad thing about it from people I know whose read the series). I have to admit, it was really good. It was hard to put it down. I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

14.) New Moon

15.) Eclipse

16.) Breaking Dawn


There...I'm done! All in all I enjoyed them. I had some problems with the last one though. Ok, on to something else!

[Brandi]

17.) The Witches of Eastwick

With only 4 months to go...am I going to make it??

18.) The Embers of Heaven
