2010 Book List and Updates

Since updates are shorter than the rest of this blog post, I will be starting with them. I worked all weekend to learn how to code a wordpress theme in order to build my website. I know XHTML, CSS and a bit of PHP, but wordpress was different for me. I had been struggling with completely customising a theme, but in the end I figured it all out and I'm quite pleased. I still need to add content though, so don't be alarmed if your browse through and find nothing there yet. It should be 100% finished by the end of the week.

As I mentioned in my previous post, one of my 2010 goals is to read at least 2 books per month. I hope to do more since I would like to read as much as possible, and I would also like write some reviews as well. I've compiled a list so far; it's small and in no particular order.

If you have any additional suggestions, or if you are a writer who would like me to do a book review of your book, please drop some titles and authors in a comment for me or message me. I will be adding to this list as I go along, and will strike off those I have finished reading.

^Means that I am unsure whether or not I will write a review.
*Means I will for sure write a review.

  1. Here via the Bloggiesta. Your reading list has a couple of my favorite books on it, including Leviathan (honestly, I love pretty much anything by Scott Westerfeld) and The Hunger Games. Hunger Games ends on such a cliff hanger that I'm sure you're going to want to add its sequel, Catching Fire to your list, and then the conclusion of the trilogy is coming on August 24th! Good luck on making your goal :-)
