  1. Thanks! I hope you have a great reading year too. I wanted to be able to make choosing a book a bit easier on myself. Sometimes with so many options one can get a bit overwhelmed. To make it easier in making the mini TBR piles, I intend to just pull out the first ten books that catch my eye, if that doesn't work, I'll play the Eeny, meeny, miny, moe game.
  2. I can tell you that it's the story of metal gear solid 1 and 2, so if you have played them you pretty much know it, but the author does add more details. It's also all hand drawn by the guy who did the cutscenes in metal gear solid peace walker. So excited!
  3. I bought my first book for the year. A graphic novel omnibus from the Metal Gear Solid games. Can't wait for it to arrive.
  4. Thank you lovely ladies. same to you both.
  5. Just wanted to quickly say, happy reading in 2015 everyone! I am currently reading three books, Wasteland: stories from the apocalypse - various authors. Animal farm - George Orwell; and I still need to finish A feast for crows - GRRM.
  6. I hope you have a happy reading year Frankie.
  7. All the best, and hope you have a happy reading year Gaia.
  8. Wow Gaia! You are already on a reading roll. I must simply start reading asap.
  9. You and Gaia really make me want to buy book collector software! I love cataloguing my books and creating lists, so far I have GoodReads for my bought books and some wish-lists and a notepad with the rest of my wish-list - which is heaps long.
  10. Thread open for business, decided I am going to just write up mini TBR for each genre, and choose books that I really want to read sooner rather than later; and then randomly pick some as well - thinking 10 books per list with a mix of both. Once one is read, I will replace it with another book from my shelf. Starting fresh with the challenge, edited it a bit and might add extra to it as well. Happy Reading in 2015 everyone!
  11. SF Masterworks Collection Thus Far My SF Masterworks Collection. Sadly the Man in the High Castle has been hard to find in a SF MW copy. I still look when I can.

  15. I watched the first Harry Potter movie, but didn't enjoy Daniel Radcliffe - sorry HP fans I then went to read the first book but just couldn't get Daniels voice out of my head. Maybe I should try again now it's been awhile...
