Last book post for 2011 - 11

Tantalize - Cynthia Leitich Smith - nook - fluffy YA vampire novel. An amusing Twinkie.

The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker - Leanna Renee Hieber - nook - I picked this up on a recommendation from someone at the bookstore. Didn't like it. Brooding "romantic" hero, fate of the world, yadda, yadda, yadda.....

The Stone Fey - Robin McKinley - reread - I do like this book. Sweet and romantic in all the right ways...

Food Matters - Mark Bittman - very interesting book about how to change your diet, and what to. Recipes included. I plan to try some of them.

The Escape - Katherine Mansfield - like the more boring stuff in high school English. Ick.

Crown Duel & Court Duel - Sherwood Smith - fantastic! Fantasy, lightly romantic, most of the plot focus is not on the romance part, which is excellent.

The Convenient Marriage - Georgette Heyer - nook - reread - delightful romp.

Mina Laury - Charlotte Bronte - wow. Very Gothic and overdone. Mercy.

The Whale Rider - Witi Ihimaera - Very interesting book. It has been a long time since I saw the movie, and I had a migraine when I did.

The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories - Charles W. Chesnutt - nook - fascinating set of short stories, written by a black man and set in black culture between the Civil War and the turn of the century. Recommend.



Year's total: 179


Well, I didn't make the 180 goal I set in November. The 2012 goal will be 52, which should be nice and easy.
