[Novel Status + New Books] as of Nov 18, 2010

I've been buying even lesser books than usual now! Hurrah!
But it didn't exactly make the number of books I actually finish get higher in number.... ahahahaha. Trying my best to catch up again, but for now, here's the current status:

DROPPED:
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
I read it because the movie's coming up..... but now matter how many more pages I read... I still cna't see what's so great about it x_x

READING:
The Tapestry #1: The Hound of Rowan by Henry H. Neff (116 of 414)

NEXT:
  • The Tapestry #2: The Second Siege by Henry H. Neff
  • Chronicles of Narnia #5: Voyage of the Dawn Trader by C.S. Lewis
  • The Bartimaeus Trilogy #1: The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud
  • Breathe by Cliff McNish
  • ~ and so many other choices

TO REVIEW:
  • Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan
  • Peter & the Starcatchers by Barry and Pearson
  • The Oracle Prophecies #1: The Oracle Betrayed by Catherine Fisher

TO READ FROM THE START AGAIN (previously on-hold):
  • Leviathan by Scott Westerfield
  • Blood Red Snow White by Marcus Sedgwick
  • Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell by Sussana Clark

NEW BOOKS:
  • Roar - Emma Clayton
    I saw Eoin Colfer having a positive review on it.... and it was about a twin brother searching for his twin sister... and they're involved in some violent game between mutants.... can't resist... plot~ Haha!
  • Artemis Fowl 4: The Opal Deception - Eoin Colfer
    I've already read this actually because a good friend had lent it to me. I just bought it for the sake of collection, hehe. I love this series.... even if I'm quite behind on it.
  • Coronado - Dennis Lehane
    I love Shutter Island, which is a work of the same author. This one seemed to be a collection of intriguing short stories... I think I can only expect good stuff from someone who was able to think of Shutter Island, hehe.
  • Uncle Boris in the Yukon - Daniel Pinkwater
    I still haven't read the other Pinkwater novel that I have but this one was about the love for dogs and it was on sale! I'm a dog lover and the difference from the original price was REALLY BIG so it was hard to resist, hehe.
  • Mistborn 1: The Final Empire - Branden Sanderson
  • I saw the third book and was already tempted to buy it until I realized that I haven't read the first book yet. So when I finally found it, on sale even, I didn't have second thoughts on grabbing it, hehe. Hopefully it is indeed as good as the reviews say.
