i also had an attempt at Opening Atlantis by Harry Turtledove. This seemed fantastic in theory. the premise. but in execution, not so much. I, personally, found it very boring. And i LOVE alternate history.

 This list includes one unread "classic" a month, as well as one non-fiction. almost all the regular fiction on my list has been on my To Be Read list for a year or more, granted i have wiggle room for new releases (new Anita Blake, New BDB, New Mercy Thompson).

Some people would look at the fact that I've made a list as controlling and weird. but with two kids, both of them needing a good amount of attention, and you know, housekeeping and crap. I need to actually SCHEDULE reading time these days. (Girl Scouts cookie sales starts in three weeks...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

 Oliver Twist is part of a KAL/RAL for the Storied Yarns group on Rav, i technically have three months to read it, but i plan to be finished by the end of January. I'm also doing a Buddy read in the 52 books in 52 weeks group for Cleopatra : A Life. If anyone who reads my blog wants to read along on anything, lemme know :D
