Happy new years!

I just want to point out that I love to read. Whenever im alone ill pull out a book and start to read. I figured on my web log (i hate the word blog) i would type what i read over the last year and what i thought about it.

Wheel of Time:
Eye of the World, The Great Hunt, The Dragon Reborn, The Shadow Rising, The Fires of Heaven, Lord of Chaos, A Crown of Sword, Path of Daggers.

I enjoy this series but the long wait between each book is very annoying, causing me to have to reread the series again. I only read these 8 books because I didnt want to bring my hard covers to class with me.

Book Total 8:

Star Wars: The New Jedi Order:
Vector Prime, Dark Tide 1: Onslaught, Dark Tide 2: Ruin, Agent of Chaos: Hero's Trial, Agent of Chaos: Jedi Eclipse, Balance Point, Recovery (E-Book), Edge of Victory 1: Conquest, Edge of Victory 2: Rebirth, Star by Star, Dark Journey, Rebel Dream, Rebel Stand, Traitor, Destiny's Way, Force Heretic 1: Remnant, Force Heretic 2: Refugee, Force Heretic 3: Reunion, The Final Prophecy, The Unifying Force.

It took me awhile to read Vector Prime. I had to put it down and start it again later. The first time I just didn't like it. I don't know why either after I did get into the series I loved it and couldn't put it down until I was done. I am glad Jordan kept pushing it onto to me to read. All in all great series. Read it.

Book Total 28

The Song of Ice and Fire:
A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords

I have read this series many times. When it was first mentioned to me it was said i might not like because of everything going on in the series. It might be to much to grasp. I enjoyed this series because of that. After each chapter I would ponder on what might happen next. This series will probably stay one of my favorites.

Book Total 31

Discworld:
The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, Equal Rites, Mort, Wyrd Sisters

This series is so fun it is hard to put into words. While reading this i had to just laugh out loud. Sometimes this brought made my cheeks brighten because of the people around me. Ah brittish humour. Thank you.

Book Total: 36

Wit'ch War:
Wit'ch Fire

I had this book for years just collecting dust on my shelf. It was mentioned to me by an old friend around 2000. I picked it up then and just didnt get around to reading it. Now that i did i dont know what to say. I'm sure if i hadnt exposed to as much fantasy as i read now i might have enjoyed it more. I doubt ill pick up the rest of the series.

Book Total: 37

Anne Bishop:
The Pillars of the World

She had a trilogy i read when i first started my job at Wal-mart. I was in Chapters one time and saw this book by her. I picked it up and turned it to the back. Right where my finger was placed was my name. I took it an omen and purchased the book. The book was all right. It wasnt bad and it wasn't awesome. I'd probably read the rest of her books out there.

Book Total: 38

Comics:
This list is to is rather large and may not count as "books" to some people but im putting it here and counting them anyways.
Ultimate X-men 1-12
Ultimate Spiderman 1-13 (missing one volume i dont remember which)
Ultimate Elektra 1

I always wanted to read comics when i was younger but a lack of money and a lack of knowledge of where to start kept me from reading. When Stefan offered these to me and told me that they were restarting each series with their own universe I really wanted to read them. I have enjyoed reading these and will most likely keep reading them they are doing some interesting stuff with characters i've loved from cartoons and video games. They are also doing some nice twists with some things i knew of but not everything about.

Book Total: 38 Books, 25 Comics. 1 Tired Brain.

I forgot Catch 22. That was a good book to, I think i might read more by the author.

Book Total: 39 Books, 25 Comics. Still 1 Tired Brain.
