| Save This Shirt, Hannah Rogge Picked this one up on a whim at the library, because it looked like it had some fun ideas for re-purposing old t-shirts. I'm not quite convinced enough to buy it, but there's at least one design that I want to try. |
 |
| Dorm Decor, Theresa Gonzales and Nicole Smith Another "I'll-just-flip-through-this-and-see-what-it-says" pickup. More fun designs. |
 |
| Your Green Abode, Tara Rae Miner There's nothing groundbreaking in here if you have been following environmental news/suggestions for more than ten seconds. A nice refresher and some good ideas for renters, though. |
 |
| 20 Things You Didn't Know About Everything, Discover Magazine Sorry about the cruddy picture quality; I had no luck photographing this one! This is a DNF; it was interesting, but not attention-grabbing enough to keep me reading when I have so many other books to get through. |
 |
| Muzzled: The Assault on Honest Debate, Juan Williams I requested this one from the library after I saw Mr. Williams on The Daily Show. Definitely worth the read if you are at all interested in (or tired of) American politics. Pretty fair to both sides, I think. I thought it was fabulous, and will probably write more about it later on. |
 |
| Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury Another cruddy photo. :( I'm currently reading this one and liking it so far. |
 |
| Here, There Be Dragons The Search for the Red Dragon The Indigo King The Shadow Dragons The Dragon's Apprentice James A. Owen I finished the first one and am just starting on the second. I wasn't sure if I would make it all the way through book #1, actually; it was pretty slow going at first. But it got better, and the ending made it totally worth it. I do admit that it was fairly predictable. However, I enjoyed it enough to start the second one; we'll see after that. |

That's a lot of books! I wish my library had a huge variety to chose from. Save This Shirt seems like a cool book! :)
Throwing Stones by John Wasik & Phillip Parrish and Monarch by Michelle Davidson Argyle.
I can't wait to get started.
Sad to say I read more when the weather is cold or ugly.

How I wish I had the time to read. I'm working through Gormenghast, a few pages at a time, but even then I'm really looking at the wonderful literature as I work through my own writing and hope to improve!
Mmmm, interesting choices. Happy reading.
@Madeline: I do love living in a larger city so that I can get lots of books!
@Giggles: Me, too. Although I think 70 days of 100+ heat qualifies as ugly, yes? And I'm totally going to look up both those books!
@Carole: Sounds like a good plan! Your writing is already fab, so I'm excited at the thought of it getting even better! :D
@Petty: Thanks! Some weren't my choices; hubby picked up the 5-book series for me. The rest I got as the mood struck.
