Then there are the ones I started and couldn't finish

• Claire de Lune
• Dark Sins and Desert Sand
• Past Midnight (first chap)
• Daughter of Darkness (first chap)
• Forbidden (first chap, holiday read, just wasn't in the mood)

....just haven't finished yet

• Mammorth Vampire/Paranormal romance books (4 of them)
• Zombie vs. Unicorn

the books that I finished over a lot of time, and weren't really ever spoken about

• Black Dagger Brotherhood guide book
• the Element Encyclopadia of Vampires

oh, oh, and then there's the Manga that I have read....

• One Piece volumes 1 to 39

 

Now, that’s a lot more than I thought I read, and if I put the books that I thought I read at the beginning of the year—mostly because that’s when they came out, I would reach at least the 80is... which is awesome. I think.

Next year won’t be as big a year on bought books, at least at the beginning, mostly because for my birthday I’m saving up a big bunch of money and then me and my sister are heading into the city so she can take me to a big books shop, which will be awesome because the ones I go to now aren’t as stoked, mostly because we aren’t really considered big, even though.... yeah, so that’s what I’m doing.

Also threw the top half of the year, I’m going to be changing my style of cloths—or more so I’m going to buy cloths so that I can have a style, which isn’t the greatest since I’m cloths deaf, but I’m alright at looking at things and knowing who it would look good on, or if it would look good on me, but I can’t pick up individual cloths and put them all together to create one style, which is what my sister is really good at. So.... she’s gonna help me with that.  Not that you really care, but it’s what I’m doing next year and I’m heaps excited! Like jumping round the house and stuff!

Anyway, so that’s the books I’ve read.

Thanks for your time
