During 2011, Kelly from The Written World has specifically challenged me to read the following books:
Fire Study by Maria Snyder - I loved the first two books in this series, so why haven't I read the third book?
The Huntress by Susan Carroll - I was SO excited when this book came out. I bought it straight away. That was 3 and a half years ago!
A Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner - I was definitely planning to read this one anyway!
Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear - I always intended to read this series after I was all caught up with Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher series but I appear to have stalled on that one somewhat.
My list of books for Kelly to read was:
Witness in Death by J.D. Robb- Once upon a time we were doing joint reviews of this series. I think she is at least 10 books behind me now! Catch up, Kelly!
The Summer Garden by Paullina Simons- Apparently I sent this book to Kelly a while ago. I had completely forgotten that!
The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly - Because I am so excited about the third book in this trilogy coming out this year!
Mr. Rosenblum Dreams in English by Natasha Solomons - Such a fun book!
Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly - Whoops! Doubled up on the Jennifer Donnelly recs!
Our reading swap is part of a bigger swap that is going on involving lots and lots of bloggers. Kelly has the master list on her blog!
I was just reading through the wonderful threads over on the Australian group in goodreads and then checked to see how our lists compare - 90% ! Which is the highest I've ever come across. But we only share 4 books which is crazy! So I really need to try something you rec and I am glad to be participating in the Australian Challenge this year. This list has some interesting to me titles and some I have actually heard of. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a very high percentage!
ReplyDeleteGreat lists. I want to read Maisie Dobbs too, but I need to catch up on some other series.
ReplyDeleteI am really interested in reading Revolution by Donnelly. Everyone who has read it has seemed to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the third book in the Rose series too! Just got Revolution.
ReplyDeleteI got an emailing saying that Revolution has shipped. Yay! I am going to TRY and read an In Death book a month, so by the end of the year I will be caught up... Sort of! You will probably have read more in the meantime. I still don't have Interlude in Death, though, and my copy of Seduction in Death has vanished. Will have to get another copy, I guess...
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the rest of the books, though. They are all books I was meaning to read anyway!
Kelly, I only read one In Death book in the last year, so you might have caught up!
ReplyDeleteNise, that is my most anticipated released of 2011! Can't wait!
Diane, I really enjoyed it when I read it late last year.
BethF, I really shouldn't start another series, but I will!
