Kylie Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Aw shucks, TheNinthWord. Thank you! We have a very similar taste in books, so I'll look forward to reading your thoughts on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNinthWord Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Just finished Dragonflight, and updated the list above accordingly. It took a while to edit it as I kept spotting mistakes. I'm sure I'll get used to it the more I update it though. I'll write and post a link to a review on my blog tomorrow. Starting on Brandon Sanderson's The Well of Ascension tomorrow as well. Edit: Oh, and @Kylie: No problem! I love how organised your reading list is.

TheNinthWord Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 I finished Titus Andronicus this evening. All I can say about it at the moment is "wow". I never knew so much death, revenge, rape, and cannibalism could be squeezed into one play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNinthWord Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 The end of the year, and the end of this topic. Added my December read (bizarrely I've not felt the urge to read much recently), and now I'm going to create a new list for 2011. Hopefully I'll get a lot more read this year.
