| hmm... i havent read a whole lot lately. i feel kinda bad about it. but i'm a really fast reader, and i think i could manage 50 this year. i'd just have trouble remembering to do so. |

| Okay, so from New Years
The Mayfair Witches - Anne Rice Running with the Demon - Terry Brooks A Knight of the Word - Terry Brooks Angel Fire East - Terry Brooks Armageddons Children - Terry Brooks A Game of Thrones - George R R Martin A Clash of Kings - GRRM A Storm of Swords (Book One- Steel and Snow)- GRRM A Storm of Swords (Book Two - Blood and Gold) - GRRM A Feast for Crows - GRRM Magician: Apprentice - Raymond E Feist Magician: Master - Raymond E Feist Silverthorn - Raymond E Feist A Darkness at Sethanon - Raymond E Feist Krondor: The Betrayal - Raymond E Feist Krondor: The Assassins - Raymond E Feist Krondor: Tear of the Gods - Raymond E Feist Prince of the Blood - Raymond E Feist The King's Buccaneer - Raymond E Feist
Only 19 wtf, I thought it was way more than that. Maybe if I stopped reading books that were 500+ pages each I'd get it. Ah well, I still have heaps left of Raymond E Feists hahaha. | |

| shoot, I too much of a nerd to put the joystick or DS down long enough to read 50 books in a year. If I'm lucky I'll probably read about 10 though I am reading one right now about Signature Killers. |

| Lolz, Raymond E Feist is a sort of an almost awesome writer. I'd never read anything of his until my boyfriend bullied me into reading Magician a few months ago. He's not my favourite, but they're interesting books.
The Krondor ones were a bit shite, though. | |
