These are the books that I have read during the read-a-thon. I started a little late on Friday, and didn't get to devote as much time as I wanted to reading over the weekend. (Or maybe, I just overestimated how much time I would have to spend reading!) Now, I didn't want to use up my reading time writing reviews. Sometimes, I can get them down really quickly, but other times, writing a review can take the better part of an hour. However, I wanted to do a little more than just a list of the books. So, here's what I came up with:

I really enjoyed taking part in this read-a-thon, not just because it gave me a chance to read some of the books that I had hanging around, but because I gave myself permission to read books that may not end up being featured on my blog.
Thanks to Monica at The Bibliophilic Book Blog for putting this together. I hope all of the participants had as much fun as I did!
I've never heard of Wintercraft, what'd you think? :) Great job! That's a ton of books!
ReplyDeleteYou just happened to be the 5th time I'd seen "touched by an alien" mentioned today, so I bought the book.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of "Crux" and "Wintercraft"
Wintercraft is a UK release. I don't know when it will be available here. I borrowed from my sister, though, so if you're interested in more info see her review at her blog: An Avid Reader's Musings. She also has an affiliate button to order from The Book Depository.
ReplyDelete@ Jennifer: I liked Wintercraft. I LOVED Crux. But, I haven't found a Moira Rogers yet that I didn't adore.
