Books read in 2008. Sort of.

Because I was curious -- and because I compulsively write everything down, including what I happen to be reading on any given day -- I went through my planner and pulled the data on every book I read during 2008.

Here is the result.

...upon realizing I'd reached fifty books and the end of February, I lost interest in this game. End determination: I read too much.

Read anything good last year?

50 in just the first two months? *bows to your dedication* I'm lucky if I read 50 in a decade. Not that I don't like to read, I just don't have as much time as I used to.

Still, I did read some good ones in '08.

Dragon Heat and The Black Dragon by Allyson James. Books 1 and 2 of her dragon series. Dragons who can take the forms of men and the women who love them.

Darkling and Dragon Wytch by Yasmine Galenorn. Books 3 and 4 of her Women of the Otherworld/Sisters of the Moon (series title depending on who you ask) series. Three half-human/half-fae sisters trying to save two worlds and the men who love them. Currently my favorite series.

Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Only 1-3 since 4's not in paperback yet. Ancient Greece-geek crack.

Nora Roberts' In The Garden trilogy. Three gardening women, the men who love them, and the ghost who doesn't want to share her house.

The Undead Next Door by Kerrelyn Sparks. Book 4 of currently my second-favorite series. Didn't start reading the previous books until just recently.

I adore the Rick Riordan books! SO MUCH FUN. Chris buys them in hardcover, so I blessedly haven't had to wait. Much love. Much, much love.

I'd buy 4 in hardcover, but then it wouldn't match my paperbacks, and I can't have that. :-)
