I've just started reading A Distant Mirror by Barbara Tuchman. I've got a big list for this year, just of classics and history I've always meant to read but never got around to. Also maybe a reread of some books I read back in school so I can get the effect of reading them as an old lady. :P

@Immy, that's an inspiring list. And, I think I'll nab your idea of listing the pages with it. When I finish A Distant Mirror I'll start my 2015 list.

Haha, I figured I would count the pages as I go. Right now I'm going to watch some x-men evolution for a way to relax my brain after all that reading (I did alot more online, but they were sites with information on the same subjects, but I won't count those)

I went to the library and got a bunch of books so I updated my list. I should hopefully finish that crappy French book that I am reading tonight.

Finished the crappy French book. I've since started The Lost Girl which has been pretty good so far. Nothing spectacular but definitely better than the last book i read anyway.

I finished my book last night so now I'm on to my ninth book of the year. This one is kind of weird. It isn't really told from the usual perspective. Instead it says things with you. Like "you didn't know what to write" or "you couldn't blame her". It's weird.

I think I'm on my seventh book. I've got four or six waiting for me for this month (one is my first ARC! yay!).

Please Don't Tell is surprisingly more interesting to me than I thought it would be considering the mystery element. I'm not much of a mystery reader.

Ooh, ARCs can be interesting. I was somewhat turned off once though when I got an ARC that didn't actually include the ending.

What kind of ARC is that!? How frustrating.

This one includes the ending, I think, but it's electronic and not formatted properly to any of my devices so I need to write down the page I was one so I can go back to it on the pdf document. Ahhh so much fun.

Yeah it was only missing the last chapter or something but still, it was super annoying since then I had to wait months for the actual book to come out so I could know what happened. V_V

I hope you finished it while standing in the book store.
How are you to properly review an incomplete book anyway!?

And yay I just finished Please Don't Tell by Elizabeth Adler.
Now to review before devouring my next book otherwise I wont review at all...

That's definitely what I should have done. Instead I purchased it online and then ended up selling it back because the ending was honestly terrible. >_>

I check out things in the library and it keeps track for me, but I have to do more for myself.
