Your reading list puts mine to absolute shame.

I devour books. It's a terribly expensive habit. I think worse than my smoking ever was!

I am thinking about making a post about my favorites at the end of the year.

I've been making good use of the library lately. True, I don't get to own the books I check out, which makes me a little sad, but it's easier on my wallet.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

That is completely fantastic. I had never read that before!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I hope you get to read lots of interesting things! :)

[alainn-sorcha.livejournal.com]

Oh! Also, Monster of Florence has been on my to read list since it came out. How did you like it?

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

It was bizarre and engaging. I don't often read any sort of true crime story but this one was too weird to pass up. It also put an interesting perspective on the Satanic panic.

I wish I had enough time to get through that many books. I've just looked out a huge pile of books I want to read over the winter but I can't see me managing even half of them :(

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I read pretty fast. It's a blessing and a bad habit.
