Meme: 2006 Year End Book Round-up

[seraphcelene]

I took a stab at the fifty book challege and managed 22. Mostly re-reads because I was culling my book collection. This is a tiny slice of what's on the shelves and doesn't count the four crates still hanging out in my room. The shelves are cramped so this isn't even close to including what's on them either. Oh, well. Hopefully, this year I'll actually make the fifty book mark.

Oh, and no comments about the fact that these are all romances. These books were getting cut because they were from my wildly dreamy youth when ALL I read were romances. It's amazing that considering my reading habits up till eighteen that I can't write a happily ever after to save my fucking life.

I used to read bodice-rippers and had a couple boxes full of them. I think I stopped back in my early 20s. I had almost forgotten about that!

LOL!!! I guess now that I am slinking warily into my 30's it's about time I let them go. Not to mention the fact that my taste in literature is much more "refined". *g*

I donated most of the books, well over two hundred, I think and kept the faves. The ones on that I actually re-read made the list of keepers. Now to get to the meatier stuff on my bookshelves. I've been wanting to re-visit 1984 and A Brave New World, plus there's all kinds of interesting things hidden back there that I acquired and never sat down to read. Got to fix that.
