ONE HUNDRED BOOKS

eyeblink · Apr 25, 2013

Now up to fifteen in sixteen and a bit weeks. I'm back on schedule! (It does help that two of these were particularly short YA/MGs that I read in a day each.) These include the last of the BSFA Award shortlist, three from the Carnegie Medal shortlist and the third of the twelve volumes of A Dance to the Music of Time.

11. The Weight of Water by Sarah Crossan (MG/YA verse novel)
12. 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson (novel)
13. In Darkness by Nick Lake (YA novel)
14. A Boy and a Bear in a Boat by Dave Shelton (MG novel)
15. The Acceptance World by Anthony Powell (novel)

Next up, three more Carnegies and the next Powell when it arrives from the library. And a delayed start to the 2013 Hilary Mantel project.

8. Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare - Reread
9. Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare - Not sure how I feel about some things, but it's a great ending to the trilogy.
10. Beta read
