More on Books

Posted in Books, Geeky Stuff, Manga/anime, SF/F at 4:37 pm by Jellyn

My last month total was awesome. Yea, there's a lot of manga there and some children's books and YA, but even so, I read a massive amount of books! As I was counting up my year's total, I was thinking "Man, it's a shame I probably passed 100 and didn't mark the occasion." But then when my math gave me 114, I was like.. wow. So now I need a new goal. I'll try for 150 by the end of the year.

In other related news, I broke down and bought a book. Even though I completely forgot about the library booksale, I went and bought a book at Borders Express, for full price and everything. Naomi Novik's 4th in the Temeraire series. And yay for it being in paperback! Though I think the cover is different from the previous three.

To Watch or Not To Watch

New shows you should watch:

Big Bang Theory (geeky sitcom -- funny)
Reaper (f dramedy -- amusing)
Kid Nation (reality -- interesting)

New shows you shouldn't bother with (because with any luck they'll soon be cancelled):

Bionic Woman (sf drama -- boring)
Moonlight (f drama -- lame)

Shows I'm undecided on:

Journeyman (f drama -- eh)
Chuck (sf-ish drama -- double eh)

Shows I haven't seen yet:

Pushing Daisies
