Devi Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited January 8, 2015 by Devi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devi Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 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!

Devi Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I hope you enjoy it ! Do tell me what you think, if you want, once you've read it. My boyfriend might be interested in that . 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Kylie Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 That book challenge sounds really interesting, Devi. It should produce a good amount of varied reading! 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. I really like this idea! I might do a similar thing - make a small list of my 'priority' books by genre (just for non-fiction, and maybe limited to 5 for each genre). Happy reading in 2015!
