Interlude: The Sniffles

I'm sick.

I hate being sick. Just a common cold, but I have no energy, a throat that feels like someone took a nailfile to it, and more mucus than seems possible compared to the size of my sinuses.

Being sick is a good time for reading books. It is not, however, a good time for reviewing them. Writing reviews takes energy, a resource in which I am sorely lacking at the current time.

So here's a quick list of the books which I have recently read but still need to review:

Fables: The Good Prince (MUST read graphic novel series)
The Friday Night Knitting Club (actually much better than I expected)
Captain's Fury (Fourth book in the Codex Alera which I wrote about a couple of months ago)
The Boleyn Inheritance (follow-on from The Other Boleyn Girl)
Pay the Piper: A rock-n-roll Fairytale (you guessed it, more fairy tale revisions)

That puts me at 25 books, which is pretty much right on track for my target of 52 this year.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to crawl back into my sniffly hole.

52 Books in 52 Weeks

I'm a pretty avid reader, so I probably don't need any additional motivation to read more than 52 books in a year. However, I can also sometimes be a lazy reader - there are lots of classic books that I just "haven't gotten around to", or if I do get stuck into a meaty book I may not take the time to really think through what I've read or even form an opinion on the book beyond "it was ok".

So here I am, determined to keep a record of my thoughts on everything I read this year and more than willing to share it with (inflict it on?) my dear friends and fellow readers. And please add your own thoughts or recommendations to my posts.

Love,
Linda
