In my last post, I announced that I’m going to read 52 books this year. Seems like a paltry goal compared to some of you. I’ll do my best!
One of the commenters asked what books are on my list. Even though I have them all on a spreadsheet, putting them here makes me more accountable somehow. 😉
So, by request, here’s my unfinished book list in alphabetical order by title. My writer group friends suggested that I dump all these since I didn’t finish them, but I can’t. Some I just started reading in December. Others got put down because of distractions that had nothing to do with the quality of the stories. Don’t judge.
- Cinder Marissa Meyer
- Divinity Michelle L. Johnson
- Mirror Mirror Les Edgerton
- Poison Bridget Zinn
- The House of Hades Rick Riordan
- The Immortal Rules Julie Kagawa
- The Missing: Found Margaret Peterson Haddix
These are most of the books that I own (paper or electronic):

That’s 47 out of 52 slots. I’m sure if I organize my bookshelves better, I’ll find a few more that I haven’t read yet. Even as I write this, I’m remembering a few that I acquired at RWA Nationals 2014. *hangs head* Now I need to update my list on Goodreads.
What other fiction books should I add?
