50 Book Challenge - April

April's Books:
17 - On the Losing Side of the Dragon, by
theferrett. It's still in rough draft and not published yet, but it was a fun read. I can't wait until the rest of you get to read it!
18 - Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife by Linda Berdoll
19 - Pride and Prescience by Carrie Bebris - I think the most fun about reading these two books was trying to determine which would cause a more apoplectic reaction in dead Miss Austen: the one wherein Lizzie and Darcy are graphically boinking on every flat surface within Pemberly Manor (and some that are without), or the one entangling witchcraft and curses. Both were the sort of deliciously dreadful reads that make you very glad for library books!
20 - Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. Because everyone had to read a Vonnegut book in April. I have not read enough Vonnegut. It was very 60s. Made me nostalgic.
21 - Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert. Ferrett reviewed this book a while back, and I agree with his assessment. It's a fascinating look at how we have no idea what will make us happy and why, and it's written in a very entertaining style.
21 books is kind of pathetic. I am definitely behind in my quest to read 100 books by my next birthday. I need to be reading shorter books.
So of course my desk and head are occupied with The Making of Star Wars, which is HUGE and written in tiny, dense print.
Ah, me.
