May 2010 Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started May with 267 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* … 271! Well, given that my brain power this month, especially in the second half, was almost entirely devoted to getting my dissertation done, I think that’s not too shabby. Check out the giant pile o’ graphic novels, though… very much "oooh, pretty pictures" and "oooh, I can read that in an hour."

…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:

Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile

Audiobooks – Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain – Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn
Read but not owned – Fables Vol. 13: The Great Fables Crossover by Bill Willingham – Smile by Raina Telgemeier – The Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman – Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi – Persepolis 2 by Marjane Satrapi – Y: The Last Man, Vol. 5: Ring of Truth by Brian K. Vaughan – Radiant Shadows by Melissa Marr – American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang
Re-Reads – The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan – Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

Changes to the TBR pile

Cleared from my TBR pile (huzzah!) – Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain – The Time of Terror by Seth Hunter – The Passage by Justin Cronin

Added to my TBR pile (shame!)
– The Kingmaking by Helen Hollick (Jen, Jennifer, and Meghan‘s faults. Three books, so one point each.)	– The Alienist by Caleb Carr (Memory’s fault)
– Pendragon’s Banner by Helen Hollick	– Vincalis the Agitator by Holly Lisle (Oh, man, I love Holly Lisle’s books, but that is possibly the worst fantasy novel title ever.)
– Shadow of the King by Helen Hollick	–Tongues of Serpents by Naomi Novik
Non-TBR Acquisitions – Prevention’s Quick and Healthy Low-Fat Cooking by Jean Rogers	– Ravens of Avalon by Diana L. Paxson
