Three days into the month, and the thread hasn't been started yet! Oops!

Right now, I'm reading The Princess Curse by Merrie Haskell -- very enjoyable so far.

I'm working on The Dragon Turn by Shane Peacock. I got it as an Early Reviewer book and I've been so busy I'm only just starting it now. Which is making me a bit nervous because I won another ER book that will probably be coming soon.

Remember when I could never score an ER book?

I'm rereading Kristin Cashore's Fire, one of my favorite books. I'm also still listening to Orson Scott Cards' The Lost Gate on my ipod.

Now I'm reading The Girl of Fire and Thorns, and I love it so far!

I'm almost done with Welcome to the Underworld and it was absolutely amazing! If you've ever read the Dresden Files, then the main character is basically an asian Harry that's more cowardly and cynical but just as awesome :D

I'm in DC for work, so rather than lug the tome that is The Mists of Avalon with me, which, for the record, I *love*, I started Tina Fey's Bossypants on my NOOK. It's a delightful read so far, and though I miss being in Camelot, reading about life at SNL during the days I watched regularly is fun!

I'm reading A Dance with Dragons. I tend to think I'm shockproof about anything I read, but Martin has tripped me up. The bastard of Bolton is a nasty, nasty, nasty man.

I was in the mood for a comfort read, so I picked up Pat of Silver Bush. I just finished it, and have moved on to the sequel, Mistress Pat. I do love some L.M. Montgomery every once in a while!

Going to be reading Crossed by Ally Condie. Can't wait. :)

And the latest Flavia de Luce Mystery is coming as well and I will undoubtedly burn through it when I get it.

I was in a really bad mood through most of last week and decided I needed a really happy book to read. I settled on a reread of The Eyre Affair and I was so glad I did because I really, really love that book and it's been ages since I read it! It was just as great the second time around!

Now I'm on to Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides which a friend lent to me. She's been raving about it for months and so far it is pretty good.

I finished Bossypants on my flight home last night - fun read! I will happily return to The Mists of Avalon later today.

I am about to finish In a Sunburned Country. Now I really want to go visit MrA and MsD! I am surprised they aren't mentioned as a country highlight!

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I have unofficial Harry Potter ebooks. I promise that a soon as Pottermore releases their official ones, I'll buy them and delete the unofficial ebooks. Anyhow, I'm rereading Goblet of Fire as a "comfort read" with my arm.

Just finished Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu -- one of the best books I've read this year!

Having finished Breadcrumbs, I'm having a hard time settling on something else to read. Right now I'm reading some Agatha Christie short stories.

Just finished Dracula and re-read Sorcerer's Stone. I am now reading the Christmas Carol and re-reading Chamber of Secrets.

Just finished Ready Player One and loved it! I downloaded the audio version on Audible earlier and will likely start listening to it next (Wil Wheaton reads it, which couldn't be any more perfect!)

#26 -- Oh, hooray for more love for Ready Player One! I keep trying to get Espy to read it, because I know he will love it, too.

I'm now planning to buy a copy for my brother-in-law (Mandy's hubby) for Xmas!

I'm reading Wonderstruck right now. So far, it is very good and I am enjoying both the pictures and the words.
