I'm ahead...

...Only because Stacy has started classes again. Thank goodness!
12. Nerilka's Story

Another in Anne McCaffrey's series. I've mentioned before that I like this series, but here's another reason why. She's taken the history of this planet, and told it from multiple perspectives. It's interesting to see the same (or similar - sometimes there is a difference in the time period from book to book) scenes from different perspectives, or other things that were going on at the same time as another event that I already read about.

11. Fourth Comings

Final in the Jessica Darling series. I think I liked how it all ended, but I was a little surprised Stacy was happy with the ending.

10. Charmed Thirds

Third in the Jessica Darling series. Now I can finally read the fourth and final installment. I like reading series books one right after the other, so I don't forget things from book to book.

9. Break No Bones

I needed a book for a car ride, and this one worked well. It's the book series that the TV show Bones is based on. I like them - forensic anthropology/murder mystery. And not too much romance to interrupt the flow of the story. Have you ever noticed how they like to do that with mystery stories? I've never really understood why. If I want romance, I'll read chick lit. If I want mystery, don't interrupt with some mushy scenes.

Total of 8 Books Now

8. Seeing Me Naked

Recommended by Stacy. It was a good recommendation :) More serious chick lit than the usual light books. Now, the problem is, since it was all about a pasty chef, I was SERIOUSLY craving pastry the entire time I was reading it. It's the same reason why I can NEVER watch the food network. One time, we were watching this episode (me, Kerry and Stacy) about a resturant that specialized in peanut butter sandwiches, and I craved them all day. Luckily, on another vacation, Stacy and I got to go to the resturant (sorry Kerry).

7. Renegades of Pern

Another in the Pern series. Really, if you like sci-fi, you need to read this series. But call me/email me before you read it, 'cause I would change the order that I'm reading this in, if I could go back in time.

6. Dragonsdawn

See comments above :) I think I have 3 more in the series.

4 more down!

5. Singing with the Top Down

Eh. It was OK. A bit of a Lifetime movie waiting to happen. Not a bad way to pass the time. Story of two kids whose parents die in an accident. They are taken in by their aunt, and travel with her from Oklahoma to California in her convertible. It's set in the '50s.

4. Sloppy Firsts

Love it! High school angst at it's best. It's not the first time I've read it, but the 4th book in the series finally came out, so I decided to reread the whole series (so I could remember what happened).

3. Second Helpings

Please see comments for book #4 :) This is the second book in the series. The library didn't have the third book in the series, so I'm stuck until I can find a copy of it.

2. The First Man in Rome

This is by the woman who wrote The Thorn Birds (which I haven't actually read). While this was good, it was long, and I really went through it slowly. It is the first in a series, but I don't think I'm going to keep reading it.

One down, many to go

1. Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern

I decided to reread all the Pern series books (or read for the first time, as I don't think I've read the whole series). I finished this one up yesterday. Yes, that's right, I like science fiction/fantasy books.
