My cunning plan this year is to write a little review for every book I read in 2012, partly to see how many books I actually read in a year, and partly for the shits n giggles.
I have a number of books that I'm planning to read, but I will probably read additional books as well.
The books I'm planning to read are:

- A Memory of Light (Brandon Sanderson) (published November 2012) *this is now being published in Jan 2013 so I will read it then)
- A New Spring (Wheel of Time Prequel)
Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini

BBC Top 100 Books
which I wont list here, but you can find by following the above link.
So that's 130 books or 11 per month, although I will probably read the BBC Top 100 Books over the next 2 years to make things more manageable. I have read a number of these books before, and in the case of the Wheel of Time books, many times, but when a new book in a series is publishes, I like to re-read the previous books in the series to recap the story.
I completed reading the first of my planned books, The Eye of the World, nearly a week ago, the review can be found here http://tashasbookreviews2012.blogspot.com/2012/01/wheel-of-time-1-eye-of-world.html
ReplyDeleteI have since started reading Eragon, and Pride and Prejudice (book 2 on the BBC Top 100 List).
I finished reading Eragon yesterday and have moved on the Eldest, I'm going to read the Christopher Paolini books one after the other because I was given Inheritance for Christmas and really want to read it, but its been ages since I read the other books in the series.
ReplyDeleteI've just this minute finished Eldest, book review to come over the next day or two. Now to start Brisingr.
ReplyDeleteI finished Brisingr yesterday, and started Inheritance, I really should get the book reviews written for these.
ReplyDeleteI finished Inheritance the other night, I will attempt to review all three books today.
