Looking back at it now, it was a really solid reading year. I mean, it did its usual (for me) thing and meandered its merry way, here and there, up and down, and in fits and starts across the span of all twelve months. But it really did shape up nicely. Which is a good thing, because it was—shockingly, I know—another year in which we so desperately needed the authors and books and words of the world to come through for us. And they did, didn't they? I am, as ever, so grateful for them and their willingness to push through every barrier and battle that I know must try to keep them from putting their visions on paper. And so, as has long been my custom, I record here my list of published books that saw me through the year. Gifts, every one. (listed in the order in which I read them) The Atlas Complex by Olivie Blake Bride by Ali Hazelwood You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian Once Persuaded, Twice Shy by Melodie Edwards Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary Lips Like Sugar by Jes...
Oooo, Robin McKinley - love!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the BEA post! I like reading them and reliving, hehe.
Janicu, yes! Those are 800 good first words...
ReplyDeleteWish we could have spent more time chatting at BEA. It's all a bit overwhelming, isn't it?
:sigh: I wanted to go! :cries:

Good to have you back, Angie

ReplyDeleteI was too young to go to BEA..
ReplyDelete*sob*
ALady, I bet. I was just lucky everything fell into place so I could go. Fingers crossed that it happens again next year and you get to come too!
ReplyDeleteCam, I thought so too! I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy Jake in this one...
Emily, I'm so sorry. Your time will come!
I want to be with TMUAGOBPE. I'm however terribly unqualified...
ReplyDeleteJacob looks yummy. If people weren't fans of him before, they probably will be now.
I think Charlie's Coffeehouse would be one of my cozy places too. I'll have to think of more.
Liza, I agree. Many a new Jacob fan will be made. And McKinley just nailed it with Charlie's. It just came alive and felt like the kind of place all those crazy, lovable people would want to be. So naturally we want to be there too.
ReplyDeletejust watched the trailer and I got chills
ReplyDeleteLiz, hehe. I know.
