May 2010 Reading Challenge

Me too. Books on my shelves are sorting themselves into random orders. I'm not having an issue with date read, date entered into system. Just alphabetically.

Read 3 single male covers:
Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward
The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter
Storm Front by Jim Butcher
Read 3 single female covers:
Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh
Read 2 couple covers:
Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris
Read 2 art-only covers:
The Highlander's Touch by Karen Marie Moning
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins











I noticed that also. They author's are not sorting alphabetically. The book titles will but authors won't. It is very annoying.

Had a great time on my cruise! Got alot of reading done.

White Cat was an interesting story and a promising set up for a new series - Holly Black never disappoints. Changeless was good, but I find that Carriger's writing comes across to me as trying too hard at times. Maybe period stories aren't really my thing - although I did enjoy it.

Melanie--do you know the biggest problem I have with a cruise? Its having to get on a SHIP. Yeah, yeah, I know, who has problems with ships, right? But I have really horrible seasickness. My Dad said it was really embarassing for him--he was a career Naval officer. lol, but then he whispered to me that HE was always seasick the first couple of days at sea.
Unfortunately, I don't get better after a day or two. I have been known to turn green on an aircraft carrier that was anchored. For those who don't know--there are two causes for motion sickness. One is visual and the other is an inner ear problem. Well, over-achieving me has to suffer from BOTH.
I have wanted to take a cruise to Alaska--my bil and sil have taken one there about every other year for the last 20 or so years. And they always rave about it. But I do NOT want to get on a ship. So, I'm wondering--anyone on the list here live in Alaska? And wouldn't object to a visitor from the lower 48? :oP (Just kidding, btw.)
