I thought it was about time I posted the second lot of reviews for the books I’ve read this year. I’m a little bit behind on the challenge I’ve set for myself, but hopefully I’ll catch up soon. Like last time, these are being cross-posted to

50bookchallenge.

Okay, so I'm finally getting around to doing this blasted thing. Yay me! Bear with me, I'm not exactly sure how I want to format these posts yet, so consider this a trial run. Will be cross-posted to

Aaaaaaaaand here we have ANOTHER new years resolution I plan to commit to this year - reading ~~100~~ 50 100 books. (I've joined

50bookchallenge , THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!) This will include the stuff on my new ebook reader, library books and books I own. The only rule for myself is that I CANNOT have read them before. I want to read completely new stuff this year!
