bohemiangirl is still reading

For the first time since joining librarything...I posted to the correct group the first time!!! *pumps fist* I'm going to take this as a sign that things will go well for the rest of 2015. :)

Excellent! Welcome back.

Hi Sacil, glad your new year is on the right track. I look forward to following your reading…and your art work in 2015.

Happy New Year, Sacil!

Your first image isn't showing up for me!

And yes, you should get your beads out again. Except that means less reading time. Oh dear, decisions, decisions!

>3 drneutron:, >4 Donna828:, >5 ronincats:, >6 kidzdoc: thank you! Looking forward to your reading lists!

>7 ronincats: I know! I don't need another thing on my to do list. Maybe I can combine them with my zentangle. I can bead and listen to audio books. :)

Hello Sacil, Happy New Year. May 2015 be filled with light and laughter...and wonderful books to read. All the best to you!

Hello there Sacil, happy new year.

Hi Sacil! It's exciting to meet a new fellow creative here on LT! I just had a quick look at your website and the sketchbook project, and they both look great! Maybe I'll uploads some sketchbook pages of my own! In the meantime, I hope you get 2015 off to a great start!

Ah! Hi everyone! So I guess you can tell I've been too busy to log on to librarything. I hope everyone is well. I've thought about you even though I didn't get online. :) I have been reading/listening to books and trying to keep track. Had to get a new phone so I might have lost some of my list when I transferred everything.

1. Blood Money James Grippando


2. Crime of Privilege Walter Walker


3. Let Me Go Chelsea Cain


4. Flesh and Blood Patricia Cornwell

17. The Breach Patrick Lee


18. Phantom Instinct Meg Gardiner

20. The Whites Richard Price

21. Phantom Jo Nesbo


22. The Nightmare Lars Kepler


23. Talulla Rising Glen Duncan


24. Only One Life Sara Blaedel


25. Blackbird House Alice Hoffman

26. Mule Tony D'Souza - This was funny but a little too long.


27. Eyes on You Kate White - This was the state summer reading book. I don't know why, boring.


28. All the Light We Cannot See Anthony Doerr - This one was good.

31. Gone Mo Hayder


32. The Boy in the Suitcase Lene Kaaberbol


33. Syndrome E Franck Thilliez


34. The Orphan Master's Son Adam Johnson - Highly Recommend!!!


35. Last American Vampire Seth Grahame-Smith - follow up to Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer. Not as good as the first, but still decent. Interesting journey through highlights in American history from a vampires point of view.

36. The Prophet Michael Koryta


37. Placebo Steven James


38. The Innocent Taylor Stevens


The Red House Mark Haddon - not finishing


Care and Management of Lies Jacqueline Winspear - not finishing

Not finishing

42. Agent 6 Tom Rob Smith


43. Wife 22 Melanie Gideon


44. Sisterland Curtis Sittendfeld


Dead by Midnight Beverly Barton


45. Trigger Warning Neil Gaiman

Didn't finish before it was due. Will definitely check it out again.


46. Faith Jennifer Haigh


Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing Mira Jacob
Didn't finish, but I will recheck it later


47. The Dinner Herman Koch


The 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared Jonas Jonasson

48. Solitude Creek Jeffery Deaver


49. Leaving Time Jodi Picoult


50. Guilt Jonathan Kellerman


51. Darkly Dreaming Dexter Jeff Lindsay


52. Dearly Devoted Dexter Jeff Lindsay

53. Dexter in the Dark Jeff Lindsay


54. Dexter by Design Jeff Lindsay


The Forgotten David Baldacci - I tried again and still can't finish a Baldacci book.


55. The Pecan Man Cassie Dandridge Selleck. This book is touted as a cross between To Kill a Mockingbird and The Help. It is, sort of, but it falls way short of the greatness of those two novels. The narrator learns lessons on discrimination and racial inequality, but in a very surface way. And some things she professed to learn didn't ring true with her behavior. She was still condescending without understanding that she was being that way, and it didn't seem like that was the author's intent.


The Light Between Oceans M.L. Stedman - Was too busy to finish this one before I had to return it. I will recheck it, though.

56. Nature of the Beast Louise Penny


57. God Help the Child Toni Morrison


58. In a Dark, Dark Wood Ruth Ware


59. Finders Keepers Stephen King

For my Christmas/Hanukkah/Solstice/Holiday image this year (we are so diverse!), I've chosen this photograph by local photographer Mark Lenoce of the pier at Pacific Beach to express my holiday wishes to you: Peace on Earth and Good Will toward All!

#30 Ronincats, Beautiful!! Thank you!! Hope your holiday season has been wonderful! Happy new Year!

Happy New Year to you as well!

So I didn't make my goal this year. I only finished 64 books. However, it was a good year, very busy and full of changes. 2016 will be major. Please wish me luck! I hope everyone has a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!
