[quote name='Sarah' post='278291' date='Jul 25 2010, 10:28 AM']ETA; Aaand signed up! I'm suzukaze. Only added the books I've read in the past couple of weeks (read: since vacation started) for now~ <3 Then maybe at least the ones I've read this year in total, too. :3 /hops off to fill shelf[/quote]
Thank you! It's great to have more people to add =D

I'm secluded in a semi internet-less place at the moment, so I've been doing a bit of reading. After finishing the latest Artemis Fowl book, I read the first light novel in the Zaregoto series by nisiOisin, The Kubikiri Cycle - which was awesome. I have to read the second one asap~

Then I read the latest by Chuck Palahniuk, Tell-All, and finally the third book in the How to Train your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell, How to Speak Dragonese (these are super cute!). And now I'm left with no books, so I guess I'll rely on manga scanlations or my DS...

Yesterday I finished reading Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake by Sarah Maclean.  I went on and on in my LJ about how fabulous it was!  If you love Historical Romances set in the Regency Era, strong willed, passionate and wonderful heroines who are on the shelf, but should totally not have been, terribly handsome rakes, witty and fabulous dialogue (I laughed out loud several times), darling and lovable secondary characters, and steamy love scenes you must, must, must read this book!  

Tonight, I started reading One Dance With a Duke.  Not sure about it yet, but will report back when I'm done.

Yes, yes, read Linger, I need people to fangirl it with! :hug:

Reading Mockingjay, ZOMG!

[Rosemary]

No one else read Mockingjay? :notworthy:

I've been working my way through Lisa McMann's Wake Trilogy.  First book is Wake, second book is Fade, and the last book (which is the one I'm reading now) is Gone.  They're about Janie, who gets pulled into the dreams of people sleeping near her.  I totally adore her love interest, Cabel.

I've been reading a couple of books again, too - naturally finished Mockingjay right after it came out (and loved it, also naturally, though I still need to properly sit down sometime and order my thoughts on the whole trilogy.. ) Then I read Step on it, Cupid by Lorelei Mathias because I had it at home and hadn't read it yet (one of the better chick-lits out there~) and Goodbye Tsugumi by Banana Yoshimoto which I adored to bits. :flower:

This morning I also finished The Time Traveler's Wife which was amazing, as expected. <3 <3 Really enjoyed it. Neeext I'll be starting on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson just to find out what all the hype is about, heh. ^^v

[Mitzrael]

The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice, in English...because I found it at the book fair yesterday and had to grab it lol;

I personally didn't get all the hype regarding the Steig Larsson books. They are good, but I've read better mystery/thrillers.

Mockingjay! And I also loved The Time Traveler's Wife.

Currently reading the first of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, City of Bones. Entertaining, but not the best is probably my verdict.

I got myself I am a cat by Natsume Sōseki and it's a satirical novel. I read only few first pages today on the train, but it's already taking me in, so it will be a nice read i think.

N. Machiavelli: The Prince, from a 1986 Spanish edition I found the other day at a book fair lol; I originally had it in French and ebook English version so...uhmm yeah, it's funny to read yet another version of it.

Oscar Wilde : The Picture of Dorian Gray which I finished today :3

Having tons of fun with the Kindle I got for Christmas, I am re-reading the entire Shopaholic Series by Sophie Kinsella (I am on Shopaholic Ties the Knot right now)!
