Showing 1-4 of 4
February:15. Gone. Last of a series. It was okay. I read it because I wanted to finish.
16. Fables: The Good Prince
17. Fables: War and Pieces
18. Dark Places. I love Gillian Flynn and I want her to write more books! I love how creepy and disturbing they are!
19. The Complete Peanuts 1953-1954. Love Peanuts! Have all of the books waiting for me to read.
20. Mister Pip. This was fantastic. Loved Matilda and Mister Pip. Made me want to read Great Expectations.
21. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. I was in the middle of this book for a few years. Finally plowed through and it was worth it.
22. Double Fudge. Last of the Fudge books!
23. A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge. Gorgeous art.
24. The Driver's Seat. Oh Muriel Spark, you are amazing. I want to read everything by her.
25. The Girl Who Played with Fire. LOVE! LOVE!
January:1. Under the Covers and between the Sheets: Facts and Trivia about the World's Greatest Books. This was a fun little book about book trivia.
2. Fables: Animal Farm. Love all of this series.
3. Still Waters: A Mystery. One of my favorites of the year so far. Detective with synestesia, little old lady poisoning people. The back says it is "The dark side of Miss Marple," so of course I had to read it!
4. The Elegance of the Hedgehog. I wasn't super impressed by this book, a bit to pretentious for my taste, but I liked the little girl and the ending was sad :(
5. Fables: Storybook Love
6. Fables: March of the Wooden Soldiers
7. Fables: The Mean Seasons
8. Sharp Objects. Another of my favorites! Very dark and creepy.
9. Fables: Homelands
10. Fables: Arabian Nights
11. Fables: Wolves
12. What the Dead Know. This was alright. A bit predictable, but a good mystery.
13. Grave Peril. My least favorite in the series so far, but it picked up after this. Love Harry Dresden!
14. Fables: Sons of Empire
