1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10=?

The book I finished reading tonight brings my number for 2011 up to 55 which beats out last year. Of course there is still 5 days left before the end of the year so I should be able to bring my number up to 56. Fallen  by Lauren Kate seemed slow moving at first but I believe that was a result of loving the last book so much. I couldn't stop thinking about it at first. I was very close to giving up on Fallen but I held in there figuring my theory was correct... and it was. Once I managed to get my mind past Shattered Souls I was able to really get into Fallen. Once that happened, I didn't want to stop reading and even now I wish I were still reading it. Another story about fallen angels and again so much different from the others I have read this year. It seems that authors have a greater variation in theories regarding fallen angels then they do with most other paranormal creatures.

The next book brought me to a tie with last year's book count... number 54. Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsay was my debut author for December and was another book I could not put down and could not stop thinking about. Any story that contains past lives and destined love always captivates me and the paranormal aspects of this story made it even more interesting. I believe in past lives and I believe I have lived many. The idea that two souls continually meet up over centuries and centuries of lives and always fall in love... ahh so romantic. This book better come with a sequel or I will be very sad.

Book number 53 was an actual print book that has been sitting on my shelves for at least 2 years. I have too many books and so not enough time to read them all... so as tempted as I am to keep downloading new books on my Nook and read them... I really have to start making a dent in my book shelves. hush, hush by Becca Fitzpatrick was a very very good book. I love novels about fallen angels... they are probably the most mysterious creatures in the paranormal genre. I cannot wait to continue reading this series.
As you can see I made it past 52 books this year.

Untouchable Number

I have fallen way behind on blogging my books. I now have 4 books to write about and have begun reading a 5th, that shouldn't take me too long to read. The first book I have to blog about is my 52nd book and I read it in under 24 hours. Revealers by Amanda Marrone was impossible to put down. I enjoyed every second of it. She brought all new theories to the idea of witch novels. I only wish she was planning a series based on the book. Knowing there would be no more was very upsetting.

14th Lucky Number

Finished reading another book in the Morganville series, Kiss of Death. This is probably one of  my favorite Morganville books, since the group is able to leave Morganville, it opens up a bunch of new possibilities for the story and the author took full advantage. Who knew these people would get themselves into so much trouble after leaving vampire central and entering the "real world". But boy did they. I can't wait to see what happens next because there is so much Rachel Caine can do with this.

Book number 50 was my debut author for November, Shatter Me by Tamereh Mafi. Everything about this book was original and very interesting. She took two of my favorite YA genres and put them together: dystopian and supernatural, what more could a girl ask for? Loved the characters, loved the story line, loved the ending. Now I just can't wait for the second one to come out.
