Book Binge is Over

Well, it actually was over May 31st. I'm a little late posting my wrap up.
  1. The Blind Assassin: Margaret Atwood
  2. Uglies: Scott Westerfeld
  3. Magic Study: Maria Snyder
  4. I, Mona Lisa: Jeanne Kalogridis
  5. When We Were Gods a Novel of Cleopatra: Colin Falconer (review coming soon)
  6. Parasite Rex (171/245--been slowly reading throughout May, didn't quite get it finished)

My favorite from these was Uglies. I'm happy to say I enjoyed them all and there are none that I would list as not liking.

Book Binge

book binge

Hooray...a new challenge: Book Binge. It is being host by Mary at It's Not All Mary Poppins.

Some of you have asked about last year’s Book Binge, and wondered if I were hosting it again. And I said to myself, “What a great idea! I think I shall host a Book Binge again!”

Here’s how it goes: For the month of May, participants keep track of each and every book you read. At the end of the month, everyone will blog their list of books. Simple, no?

For simplicity’s sake, and to allow people time to hear about it and sign up if they want, we’ll start on Monday, May 5th. We will all publish our lists on June 1.

Other rules:

- You can include books you re-read, so long as you re-read them in between May 5 and 31.
- You may also include books you start but don’t finish, just note the page at which you gave it up. Something like, “Quit, page 47 of 322″.
- You may only include books you read aloud to your children if they are at least 125 pages long.
- Students may include textbooks (if they’re at least 100 pages long).
