42 Books

So I was looking at my feed on Goodreads.com and saw the book challenge 2013.  I love this idea. Thus being the nerd/geek that I am, I chose to read 42 books in 2013.  I am love to read and thanks to my loving kindle it is easy to always have books at my finger tips.  No, I do not work for Amazon.com.  The kindle was a gift from my Husband's family and it is perfect for me.

So the first book that I have read for this year is one of my favorites.  Crystal Singer by Anne McCaffery is just what I needed to start my year over right.  This is a trilogy about a young woman Killhandra Ree who becomes a legendary crystal singer.  Killshandra is strong and will survive no matter what the universe sends to her.  I love having books with amazing women characters and more so when you find them in science fiction. The book is just amazing as to be expected with anything that Mrs. McCaffery wrote.  I am looking forward to continuing her adventures later on in the year.

I am also listening to books.  It is nice when I am driving or working around the house.  I am really tired of listening to the same stories over and over again on the radio.  So I downloaded the first book of the Anita Blake series, Guilty Pleasures.  I have been told by so many people that I should read this series.  I have caved and finding myself being drawn deeper and deeper into this amazingly dark world of vampires, ghouls and other garish creatures.  I will say this I cannot wait to get stuck in traffic so that I can listen to this story for longer.

I am thinking that my next book will either be The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen or The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield.
