50bookchallenge and have finished my first book of the new year.
Childe Morgan by Katherine Kurtz. My favorite author of all. This is her latest offering in the Deryni series, and it pains me to say it, but it's far from her best. I miss the days of the Camber series. *sigh* Of course, it was nice to visit with some of my favorite characters again, see them in a different era than what we're used to. Wonderbaby Alaric Morgan anyone? But... Katherine's lost something in her narrative. It was only the last three chapters that gave me that charged up feeling of "I can't put this down!". The rest of the book was honestly not much more than a series of 'tellings'.
So, onwards and upwards. What's next on the agenda? I'm not sure... I have a whole bunch of new books to choose from. I'll keep you posted.
50 more books to read this year. There was a time when I could do that in a matter of a few months, but real life has a way of eating into the time I'd usually devote to reading, and writing as well. Reading 50 books will honestly be a challenge for me this year.
On the upside though... I have a few writing bunnies that have been rattling their cages rather emphatically, so hopefully 2007 will be more productive for me on that front. I SO hope to write my novel this year. There are a couple of scenes I keep seeing in my mind's eye and have been for a while, so now it's just to build on them. There are also some shorter fics percolating, something that's been lacking for the last little while.
What I need is to get my life organized better so that I have time for all the fun stuff. Reading, writing, IMing with my much missed friends. Maybe that should be my resolution for '07 - organization. Well, we'll see. *LOL*
