bookworm44 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Open! (Feel free to post. =) ~ Erin's Book Blog 2013 ~ Below are the books I've read in 2013. My goal this year is to read at least five books a season. ~ Books I've read are rated out of five. ~ Books I re-read are marked (RR) ~ Books I read for the Rory Gilmore Challenge are in pink. My Rating System 1 - Awful! If I didn't have such respect for books, I'd have thrown it at the wall! 2 - Annoying. Wouldn't recommend this. 3 - Average. Didn't sway me one way or another. 4 - Enjoyable. Would definitely recommend it to others. 5 - Excellent! Didn't want to put it down!

bookworm44 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Currently Reading: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson Synopsis: In the concluding volume of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy, Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition in a Swedish hospital, a bullet in her head. But she's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll stand trial for three murders. With the help of Mikael Blomkvist, she'll need to identify those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she'll seek revenge—against the man who tried to killer her and against the corrupt government institutions that nearly destroyed her life.

I love your TBR, you have so many amazing reads ahead of you, and you also have a lot of books that are on my wishlist (not very surprisinly a lot of them are from the Rory list). I almost wish we could swap TBR lists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Quite a few books you've got on your TBR list that I've got on mine too, and some more that I've got on my wishlist. I look forward to hear how you like them! Have a good year reading . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Good luck with your reading for the year. You have quite a few books on your TBR that I've read recently and the best of these would be The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. It's one of my favourite books of all time.

julie Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Erin You have some good books lined up there so you should have a good year of reading . Thorn Birds - outstanding Isabelle Allende writes beautiful books Mark Twain,the same, he can't write BAD books East of Eden -Terrific Grapes of Wrath-equally terrific, but odd ending David sedaris could make a dead person laugh Wally Lamb-both you have listed are great Both Hosseini books are great You have an oustanding lineup!

chesilbeach Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 So many good books on your TBR, but these jump out at me as being excellent! American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld So pleased to see someone else reading Sittenfeld (I know poppyshake is reading American Wife at the moment) The Laura Ingalls Wilder books I'm thinking of re-reading these at some point. I read them when I was little, and again about 15 years ago, but they've been cropping up in a few places recently, and they're back on my radar again now And these are all marvellous: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer Girl with the Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier Little Women by Louisa May Alcott A Room with a View by E. M. Forster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
