April 2011

I have only listed two books for April:

1. The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.
2. Moby Dick by Herman Melville

There were several reasons why there are only two for next month. Among them is because I couldn't get the books my friends recommended me on time, and because, well, it's about time I read Moby Dick.

My husband gave me the classic story when we first got married five years ago (almost), and I had attempted to read it through several times. However. I could never get past page 15. I always, ALWAYS promptly fell asleep. Seriously. I mean, it was as if I repeatedly stumbled on a booby trap and fell unconscious every. single. time. It was better than the Bible for sleep-inducing read.

So, needless to say, it is really going to be a challenge. Hope I can make it. I mean, it's worth the effort. It's a classic reading, famous for its opening sentence, "Call me Ishmael", and my husband really recommends it. So if only I can... zzzzz

March 2011

Since I still have four more books from February List to read this march, I decided to only add three books in March:

• Dreams from My Father - Barack Obama
• Faith of My Fathers: A Family Memoir - John McCain
• A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini

*UPDATED*

Since I can't find John McCain's book, I replace it with:

• Bill Bryson's The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid"

I will move up McCain's book for April reading, hopefully that would give me enough time to look for it.

Hopefully I can make it this time...

February 2011

So after reading so many romance books this month (which is a great way to warm up the year, btw), I'm switching gear to a much more serious theme, Military books.

No worries, to balance things up, I listed equal amount of lighter read in between...

Here it goes...

• Craving God - Lysa TerKeurs
• Happily Ever After (Deep Haven Series # 1) - Susan May Warren
• Band of Brothers - Stephen Ambrose
• Unbroken - Laura Hillenbrand
• Matterhorn - Karl Marlantes (Cancelled, can't get the book)
• Daughter of Joy - Kathleen Morgan
• Watcher in the Woods - Robert Liparulo

I hope I can follow it through...

January 2011

I browsed Amazon for free kindle books and picked the following titles for my January Reads:

A Taste of Magic

Millie's Fling

Romeo Romeo is no longer in January list ( no longer free when I was about to download it ), I replace it with:

Fools Rush In

Mossy Creek

The Year She Fell

The Potluck Club

Aphrodite's Kiss

Heidegger's Glasses

The Bite of Silence

House of Dark Shadows

So the books are all fiction. I considered fooling myself into picking a non fiction with heavier subject , and maybe I will do that...later... but for now I'm happy with my initial choices.

That's 10 books by the way...so I may have to do the non-fiction reading for February :)
