What've You Been Reading?

[sweet_sparrow]

I don't have a whole lot of time right now as it's Crunch Time with the semester's end and several nasty deadlines - for this week! - looming over me (so my apologies if replies are incredibly slow and/or just fall to the wayside altogether in advance). Please can someone have a talk with Time and have it freeze it until I get/feel caught up on stuff? *whinge*

I've managed to get a neat amount of reading done this month - about 15 books in all and a slew of short stories I haven't bothered to keep track of. The most notable reading of the month is no doubt the two thirds of N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance trilogy that are out so far: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and The Broken Kingdoms, both of which I really enjoyed.

Disappointments of the month were Emma by Jane Austen and Sabriel by Garth Nix, neither of which I finished. I may try them again at a later date.

What about you? What's your reading month been like? What stood out in any way?

i haven't had time to read anything at all, as i took part in NaNoWriMo this year (and won!). but i bought a bunch of books that i'm looking forward to read this month! :D

Wetlands - Charlotte Roche
Sexing the Cherry - Jeanette Winterson
Lady Windermere's Fanf and The Importance of Being Earnest - Oscar Wilde
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief - Rick Riordan
Odd Thomas - Dean Koontz

and i plan to re-read the entire Harry Potter series as i decided to treat myself to the Signature Edition as a sort of christmas gift to myself. ♥
