Reading: I am hoping to start & finish some of my Adult series. Try maybe a couple books out of my regular genre. And just try to beat my goal of 90 and read 100+ books this year. We can hope right?!
Blogging: I would love to come up with a cool event or a weekly meme. It is hard to think of ones though. I will always review books honestly.
I hope that 2012 will be calmer for me than 2011 was. *Phew* what a year.
Did you do the survey? Link me so I can see what books you chose!!

















I just did this survey and I'm going to post mine the last day of 2011. I would have to agree with your choices for Mara Dyer, Jenny Pox and Forbidden, they all made my list as well. :)
ReplyDeleteHope we all find some great books to read in 2012. :)
EXCELLENT list. And omg wasn't the Jenny Pox trilogy amazing?!?!?! Definitely tied for best series I read this year with the Iron Fey books. And ditto on my love for Mara Dyer (I have a weakness for unreliable narrators).
ReplyDeleteAnd Get Thee to Potter-y! Seriously, the books are amazing (PAzkaban was my favorite)--soooo much better than the movies. Rowling's world building will Blow You Away.
Smiles!

I so totally agree with you about Imaginary Girls! I had a headache after reading it because my face was all scrunched up in confusion the whole time! I have the Paranormals waiting for me on my Nook, I need to get on that! Great survey! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your 2012 goals!
