75 Books...More or Less! discussion

WOW. I knew I was behind in posting, but I didn't realize I hadn't even created a topic yet! This year has been a bit of a crazy roller coaster ride - and not a good one :( That being said, the last month has moved us into an upswing... keeping my fingers crossed.

I have been reading sporadically. As I am sitting here trying to remember what I have been reading, I seem to be drawing a blank. I know I have read more than is on this list, but I just can't tell you what they were - apparently it was nothing worth noting...

1. A Total Waste of Makeup by Kim Gruenenfelder - 3/5

2. Claim Me By J. Kenner - 4/5

3. Game of Thrones by R.R. George Martin - 4/5
I actually started this book last year. It took me FOREVER to get through. I really liked it, but it was so dense.

4. Cypherpunks by Jullian Assange - 3/5 I am trying to mix up my genres a bit. I usually don't read non fiction, but this book caught my eye. It was more of a transcript than actual book. Brings up some interesting points about the internet and how it is used that I never thought about - kinda scary, not that I agree with all they were saying. Def. makes you think!

5. The Bride wore Size 12 by Meg Cabot - 4/5

6. Big Boned by Meg Cabot - 4/5 (Reread)

7. Size 12 and Ready to Rock by Meg Cabot - 4/5
I enjoy the Heather Wells mystery series. I kinda read these out of order. I read the newest one and realized I was missing some story lines - I still enjoyed it, but had to go back and read the one I missed!

Winter's Tale by Peter Malin - DNF 2/5 I'm not counting this in my total, since I didn't finish it. Read ~150 pgs and just couldn't get into it. My library renewal ran out and I just didn't care to keep it.

Planning to start rereading the last couple books in the Dresden Files Series since the newest one just came out... SO EXICTED!! And I was very happy to see the last book in the All Souls Trilogy is being release next month, FINALLY!

8. Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia - 4/5 Added my Amazon books, helped jog the memory to add this one to the list. Actually, I thought this book was better than the first one. Hope the trend continues through the rest of the series.

Welcome back, Tiffani! Hope things are getting better for you! All of the books in A Song of Ice and Fire are VERY dense. Took me awhile to get through the series. Love the show! Oooh, guess I'll push Winter's Tale further down my TBR list. I do want to see the movie though. I felt that the Beautiful Creatures series got worse as the books progressed. :/

I'm glad things seem to be turning around for you. Welcome back!

Hi, Tiffani. Good to see you here - I hope all is well.

Tiffani, that Meg Cabot series looks really cute! I'm getting married in October and now I'm have dreams that my dress doesn't fit...lol

Putting a finishing touch on this list. 2014 was a bummer! Here is the rest of the list, in no particular order...

7.-15. The Dresden Files Collection 7-12 The Dresden Files #7-#12. I love this series. I decided to reread these leading to the newest one. Ended up starting further back than anticipated and didn't make it to the end, so the last few in the series so far will be read in 2015.

16. & 17. Fifty Shades of GreyFifty Shades Darker Decided to reread these since the movie is coming out soon. I kept seeing trailers - didn't like them as much the second time around and I am really NOT sure a movie is going to work. I guess we will see, but I will prob be waiting until it comes out on video.

There were prob a couple more in there, but I can't remember. Oh well. Ready for the new year!

I want to start reading the Dresden Files series! I heard they're really good.
