    I'm currently reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.


    My goal is to read at LEAST 1 book a month. I love reading, I just never make the time for it.

    I have a goodreads account and i put in 100 books for the year... only done seven so far.

    In my goodreads 2013 challenge, I'm at 21 of 150. I read on my treadmill.

    I have a goodreads challenge too for 2013! I'm at 14 of 175. So that means that I'm a little behind.

    I saw that you read a lot of YA. My all time favorite YA is the River of Time series by Lisa Tawn Bergren. I read mostly adult books because I get a little frustrated with teenage antics, specially the way girls are portrayed as extremely emotional, but the female characters of River of Time are great.

    The Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series by Anne Perry.
    I highly recommend Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Hilarious.
    Bonk by Mary Roach (the science of sex research) side splitting
    Anything by Charlaine Harris

    'Mary Roach'
    didn't she write something else about corpses? i'm getting an old flash of NPR... maybe i'm mixing up the author's name...

    I listen to a lot of audiobooks since I have a 45 minute commute. I'm working on the Dexter series by Jeff Lindsay. Just finished book 2 and waiting on book 3 from the library. In the meantime, I'm listening to The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

    Also working on a couple real books. New York to Dallas by J.D. Robb (book 41 of In Death series) and The Hammer of Eden by Ken Follett (not my cup of tea, but I'm going to finish it anyway)

    1. The Cookbook Collector
    -- Started listening to the audiobook a long time ago, recently rediscovered it in book form at a library sale, and am almost finished

    2. What Are You Looking At?: The Surprising, Shocking, and Sometimes Strange Story of 150 Years of Modern Art
    -- Was really interesting at first; I learned so much about the early modern art movements. But now that we're up to Minimalism & Postmoderism I'm struggling to get through it

    3. Proust Was a Neuroscientist
    -- My brother-in-law got me this one for Christmas and I've started nibbling away at it
