Gonna do 30 this year.  I'm going to try to get through as much of my free Kindle book backlog as possible, so lots of classics and things I should have read earlier. Goodreads

I completely forgot about this thread.  My goal for this year is 30 books, I'm behind but summer's coming up, so. 1. A Feast for Crows by GRRM - didn't hate it like the Internet would make you believe and I actually liked Brienne's chapters so hey 2. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - very quiet kind of book but extremely well-written. I liked how the book was formatted and despite the fact that the narrator really goes kind of overboard describing the characters it all comes together in a way that works. I dunno, I can't really describe it. 3. Carrie by Stephen King - page-turner. Not exactly high literature but I appreciated reliving the 90s  4. Who Should be First? Feminists Speak Out on the 2008 Campaign - collection of essays written by feminists and womanists regarding their thoughts on Hillary and Barack; it's really nothing I'm unfamiliar with but I suppose it'd be more interesting for those who don't do a lot of essay reading (it's me, I'm the broken one that reads essays for fun) 5. Native American Religious Identity: Unforgotten Gods - anthology edited by Jace Weaver (Cherokee) that collects essays about the connections between traditional Amerindian beliefs, Christianity, feminism, imperialism, etc. 6. The Problem of the Green Capsule - John Dickson Carr; good read, very tricky plot twist; read it as part of the Let's Read Mystery Fiction thread here in TBB, which you guys should totally join! I'm currently reading Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (the wait list at the library was really long okay) and The Crooked House by Agatha Christie as part of the aforementioned thread. I hope these are all book enough to count.
