Decidedly *not* It

I must be a very unpopular blogger. No one ever tags me for these memes. So I’ve decided to be that annoying kid who ruins a game of Tag by suddenly proclaiming that she, too, is It, and therefore, It-ness begins to spread like a virus until no one is sure who is chasing whom…

Number of Books I Own
Reduced greatly in the move, and not counting the ones I’ve had in storage since college, I’d say 350. All in boxes pushed up against the wall, becuase we only have one little bookcase. (I keep bugging Sailor Boy to pick up another at Ikea).

Last Book I Bought
UGLIES, by Scott Westerfield

On My ‘To Buy’ List
Anything else written by Scott Westerfield.

Last Book I Read
Awaken Me Darkly by Gena Showalter

TWELVE Books that Mean a Lot to Me (only five? Please…)
1) Clarissa (longest thing I ever read ever)
2) Anne of the Island (my favorite Anne book)
3) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (my favorite Narnia book)
4) Speaker for the Dead (a triumph of storytelling, characterization, and everything good about novels and sf at once)
5. Hearts Aflame (My first romance!)
6. The Mists of Avalon (because I loved it at 15)
7. A Girl of the Limberlost (all stories should be like this)
8. The Count of Monte Cristo (or like this)
9. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (because it’s a perfect expression of itself)
10. The Odyssey (is this a book? Oh, who cares. I love it.)
11. Solaris (because it never fails to suck me in)
12. On Writing Well (best writing book I’ve ever read.)

In other news, I finally found my camera (it’s been missing since the cherry blossoms, and I’d almost given up hope), so you’ll start to see pictures here again. Woo hoo!
