Booklist II Update #1

Friday, September 7, 2012

EDIT 10/8/12 - ALL RIGHT! This is the last time I'm editing this because, with the exception of Miyazaki's epic story (to be rereleased in November) I own every book on here. Enough's enough, right?! EDIT: At Target I found on clearance a copy of Mindy Kaling's book. I'm replacing Nausicca on here. Now I do own everything.

EDIT 11/1/12 - Almost done! Moving from fiction to science writing in preparation for my applications, so I'll likely finish this off with pushing Tomorrow's Eve and On Writing to my next book list. We'll see!

Yes, already updating! I've read a lot in the past few days. But I updated this for purpose of research for my manuscript. I've decided that I really am kind of disappointed in Auel's Earth's Children series. I think it's because...I just don't know. Too little progression? I really wanted to love them. I love historical fiction, and reading about a civilization from 15,000 years ago is so kick ass. Yes, I took off Ayn Rand's book and Shogun, again. Yikes. 

It's been a rough two weeks
