Oanh | 8 comments Hi!

Well my opening salvo was just fueld by enthusiasm, but since then I've looked into what I can read in 2012 and am bubbling over with even more enthusiasm.

I intend to mostly collect books from libraries or buy them from independent booksellers, if they're published by an independent publisher and if the author is new-ish.

And I intend to be sent off on tangents when reading a book, to read another book, or a similar book, or a recommendation. I'm a very all over the place reader :-D


Here is a list, of sorts, to start me off.

- The Good Daughter
- The Hunter
- House on the Hill
- The Comfort of Water READ February 2012, short review here
- Brotherhood , The READ January 2012; Review here
- Red Queen
- The Legacy - READ January 2012; Review here
- Behind the Moon
- The Travel Writer

Okay. That's enough to be getting started with :-)

I will update this thread with reviews etc as I chug along.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone's reading etc! It's Christmas - so a great time to be doing so!

Hi Oanh
I haven't posted my list in the group yet, but I see we have chosen a couple in common. The Good Daughter and The Brotherhood. (And I've already read and enjoyed The Legacy.) I look forward to comparing notes! :)

Thanks for giving the link to your review of The Brotherhood, Oanh. This is on my list, too, so I want to wait till I've read the book before reading your review.
