Here's the lil meme from Booking Through Thursday:
“So here today I present to you an Unread Books Challenge. Give me the list or take a picture of all the books you have stacked on your bedside table, hidden under the bed or standing in your shelf – the books you have not read, but keep meaning to. The books that begin to weigh on your mind. The books that make you cover your ears in conversation and say, ‘No! Don’t give me another book to read! I can’t finish the ones I have!’ “Now, I know I have a pile as big as... my arm. Unfortunately, though, I cannot remember all the titles, since some of them are also packed down in boxes. I know, I know. I need to sort through my boxes of books and get rid of some...
So here's the list... eh, so far.
1. The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde. (First of his Nursery Crime books... the man is a genius, but I think I was kinda full on twisted fairytale stories when I picked this one up. Still gonna finish it though. At some point.)
2. A few books (Bloodstone, Last Sword of Power, Wolf in Shadow, The Last Guardian) by David Gemmell. (Fantasy, I think. Bought them when they were cheap, haven't even opened them. Yikes.)
3. The Conan Chronicles 1 & 2 by Robert E Howard. (Classical fantasy that I got, tried to read....I swear, I go to sleep when I open the books. Need to get rid of these.)
4. Herakles by Theodor Kallifatides. (Yawn. Christmas gift. Haven't even started to read it... not sure I ever will)
5. Diplomatic Baggage by Brigid Keenan. (Bought it, it was cheap.. started it and lost interest. Meh.)
6. The First Book of Lankhmar by Fritz Leiber. (See Conan.)
7. Spartan by V. Massimo Manfredi. (Gift, and whenever I try to read the book, I just seem to find other things to do...)
8. Night Watch by Terry Pratchett. (Another gift, and I love Terry, but I haven't ...been in the mood to read it. Plus, I have a feeling that I should read some of the books before this one before attempting it.)
9. A trilogy by Michael Scott Rohan. (See 2.)
10. Forging the Darksword by M Weis and T Hickman. (See 2, again!)
11. Warrior Rising by PC Cast (saving this one for my flight to Phoenix next week. Yay!)
12. Kushiel's Justice by Jacqueline Carey (saving it, but I am afraid I will be a lil disappointed by it...)
13. Dreams Made Flesh by Anne Bishop. (just haven't had the time to read this one yet!)
14. Time and the Gods by Lord Dunsany. (See Conan).
Big list. Could be bigger, if I had all the titles. And these are books that are either not read... or I managed to read a few pages. Still, yikes. Need to get rid of some of them!
