Mini-reviews, lots of different genres. I think the majority are YA, which is probably my favorite genre at the moment. I know, I'm technically too old, but it's what I write as well, so it's research? *coughs*

Books 126-241 )

[info]astaraelweeper posted the list of books she read in 2009 and since I've been posting my books on [info]50bookchallenge, I figured I might as well post my list too.

These are all the books that I read from start to finish this year in a range of genres. I didn't add any books that I started but didn't finish or rereads and I didn't include any fan fiction either ([info]50bookchallenge allows you to set the parameters and some people do include fan fic). My goal for 2010 is 300. *grins* There are also mini-reviews of varying lengths for the books.


Books 1-125 )



See the next post for books 126-241. Apparently the post was too long for LJ...

Tesla and Snow

tired

current location: United States, Ohio, Cleveland
current mood: tired

So I'm in Cleveland at the moment, visiting relatives out here. Just spent the whole day in the car, yay. Of course the minute I took my turn driving it turned into a white out, so I got to enjoy the worst of the weather. Luckily, being new year's day, there weren't many cars out on the road.

And now I'm tucked in a random corner of my grandma's living room because it's the only place in her apartment that I can get a decent wireless internet signal, hahaha. Me and my technology.

It's snowing out though, and really pretty.

So I started reading the novel "The Invention of Everything Else" by Samantha Hunt. It's about Nikola Tesla. And so far it's fantastic. And I'm only in like 2 chapters so far.

I also have come to the conclusion, after studying him for the past six months or so, that I love Tesla (well, in the way one slightly crazy college girl could love a really crazy dead inventor). I don't think enough people give this man the respect he deserves, so I'm overcompensating. <3 Maybe I should start a Tesla fangirl club or something. We can have a pigeon as our mascot and no one will be allowed to wear pearl earrings.

Or something.
