A Post Adding to My Book List (Or, Make-up Post #2)

This is a bit of a cheater post (because this should go on the Book List page of my blog). In the last three days I've added more books than I possibly can get through to my list of reads - some have recently been recommended by friends, and the others are books that I've been meaning to get to for a while but haven't picked up yet.

I also have a grand ole list from my list for school, but I'm not including them here unless they're books that were already on my list anyway.

And re-reads...I'm using modifying Alexandra's logic from an older GS podcast*, if I feel like I don't remember the book enough, it goes on the list.

1. Terry Pratchett, The Last Hero
2. Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals
3. China Miéville, Embassytown
4. Joanna Russ, The Female Man
5. Joanna Russ, How to Suppress Women's Writing
6. Ben Peek & Stephanie Campisi, Above/Below
7. Justina Robson, Natural History
8. Ursula LeGuin, The Left Hand of Darkness
9. Paolo Bacigalupi, The Shipbreaker 
10. Paolo Bacigalupi, The Windup Girl
(Gaul - you and possibly SSK might hop on #9 and #10, from what I've heard of the books)
11. Ray Bradbury, A Sound of Thunder (Short Story)
(More to follow)

So, dear readers and fellow bloggers, what does your list look like**? What more can you add to this wonderful list that I already have?

*No, I don't know the number. This is as specific as I can get for now.
**What do you mean you don't have a list?! Make one now, I say!

Another Post, More Updates

If you, like a.b., have fallen off the wagon, there's good news. The wagon has stopped and you can jump right on board. (I'm doing just that; although, I'm not going to get to read anything off my list until this Saturday  / Sunday.)

But, in other news, my writing meter is back ticking again. Slowly.
And powered by much delish coffee brewed by the lil sibling (are you reading this?)

Oh, and thanks to Girl Scholar, Ph.D, I now use Evernote.

(For those of you wondering, the emergency still is. And so, petitions for good vibes, wishes, prayers are still open.)

Book Club and the Disappearing Act

Due to a family emergency, I've fallen woefully behind on posting and reading.
For this, I apologize. Unfortunately, I can't promise regular posts for a little while longer.

In the meanwhile, however, we have a fantastic set of Book Club posts:
1) Simbly Bored's list of non-fic reading is here
2) R.D. is now reading Old Man and the Sea - her post on C. S. Lewis is here
3) Eileen's wonderful "(Not) So Crafty Book Review" - which also totally qualifies for the book club post
and
4) A.B.'s post on "The Wind Done Gone" and I know she's reading a bunch of other wonderful stuff, which you should look out for!

In my absence, Simbly Bored has agreed to take on hosting the book club. But, if you wonderful folks - posting and / or reading - want to take turns, please, please do. And please keep me posted so I can link accordingly.

Happy Reading, folks! And keep me in your thoughts. I'll try and come back as soon as I can!
