So I resolve to read LOTS of books in 2013, but here's ten that simply HAVE to happen:
1. Vanity Fair by William Thackeray: the big classic I hope to accomplish this year
2. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor: part of last year's Christmas haul and a book I feel so very out of the loop for not reading yet.
3. Fingersmith by Sarah Waters: from THIS year's haul and part of my quest to explore this author more
4. Old Man's War by John Scalzi: for Carl's SciFi Experience, and because I started it and had to take it back to the library and that's just not cool.5. Crooked Letter Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin: one I actually started, but then never finished. It's time.
6. Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare: I'm thinking this was on my last year's list. Oops. (I looked, it wasn't, but #5 was!)
7. Seraphina by Rachel Hartman: Does it count if I've already started it? :)
8. Wheel of Time books.... I will try to pick this project up, maybe even skip some books? Gasp.
9. Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel... I've just proposed a read a long with Jessica from The Bluestocking Society. We'll see how THAT goes!
10. The second Outlander book, maybe? Yes?
I'm loving looking over all your posts on books you hope to read this year! Here's to everyone managing them all!

I read 3.5 of the Wheel of Time Books, and I was not impressed. I think Robert Jordan was a sexist cause the women in his books are losers or b#@!*S.
ReplyDeleteKami: Totally agree. But I really like the guys! :)
DeleteDaughter of Smoke & Bone should be your #1 priority! It's insanely awesome! As is the sequel! Clockwork Angel should be number 2. Just sayin. :) Good luck with your list!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth: Really? Ok! I'm on it!
DeleteIt was hard limiting it to ten wasn't it? So many books we want to read! Although my list doesn't match yours, several on your list are in my TBR pile, including just about your entire list. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy New Year!
Literary: Yes, it is a hard list. I read everything, as usual, of course.
DeleteI'm host a Vanity Fair read-along this year with Trish. You should join in!
ReplyDeleteMelissa: I'm totally in, when are you starting?
DeleteWe're talking about February! I'll post about it soon. I put it on the Classics Club event page too!
DeleteGreat list! Can't believe I haven't read any of these. Some day...
ReplyDeleteGood luck! :)
I was just thinking today that I should give Wolf Hall a try. And I've been saying for years that I should read the Outlander series. Good luck with your list :)
ReplyDeleteDaughter of Smoke and Bone nearly made my list too. I still plan on reading it this year, though.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Daughter of Smoke and Bones. It was one of my fave reads from last year. I think I read Vanity Fair also. I read that a lot of book bloggers planning on reading this.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Vanity Fair! That has been on my TBR shelf for years, maybe I should join you...
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I've only read one of these. I keep thinking I need to go on with the Outlander series, but I don't think I could read the second book without re-reading the first and it's looooooonnnnnggg!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Wolf Hall makes me swoon with all of it's goodness :) I hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteGotta love seeing Old Man's War there on the list! :) Hope you enjoy it when all is said and done. Actually I hope you enjoy it so much you feel compelled to read the rest...not that I'm a rabid fan or anything.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course if you do not, I will completely understand...and only cry for a few days.
I enjoyed Sarah Waters' The Little Stranger, I'd be interested to see what her other books were like. I really enjoyed Wolf Hall too - it wasn't my usual kind of book, but it was very intricate and interesting!
ReplyDeleteSeraphina & Daughter of Smoke and Bone are on my TBR list for this year as well! Great list!
ReplyDeleteI have Crooked Letter Crooked Letter on my 2013 TBR too...vbut I'm wonderfing how/why you started ait and then put it down and never got back to it...?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Wheel of Time! That's a BIG one to take on!
ReplyDeleteI hope you read lots of awesome books in 2013!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely recommend Clockwork Angel! Such a fun read!!!
