MID YEAR RECAP

As we are now half way through the year, I thought I would do a bit of a recap on the past six months (Jan-June 2011)….

I’ve read 36 books (or 12,475 pages),

taken 260 bus trips,

drunk 206 coffees,

written only 2,120 words (oops!)

and deleted 1,665 words.

                                                                          * * * * * 

Longest book read:

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss - 662 pages

Shortest book read:

Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman - 112 pages

Most number of books in a series read:

10 – The Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris

                                                                           * * * * * 

Favourite cover:

Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon (does anyone else think the model on the UK cover looks a lot like Amy from Doctor Who...?!)

Best hunk:

Eric from the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris

Best couple:

Tris and Four from Divergent by Veronica Roth

                                                                          * * * * * 

Best Dystopian read:

I couldn't decide between Matched by Ally Condie and Divergent by Veronica Roth. Both were brilliant!

Best Fantasy read:
Because they are both so different I have to pick  The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett.

What have been your 'bests' from the past 6 months?
