Book List for 2015...in progress

2014 didn't quite pan out for me, book-reading wise, for two reasons: my thesis work, and severe eyestrain that finally forced me to get prescription reading glasses. I'm hoping for no hang ups in 2015, and my list (in progress) is as follows:


(*denotes a book I've read in the past, but feel the need to revisit)

David Mikics--Slow Reading in a Hurried Age 

David Sedaris--Holidays on Ice
                         Barrel Fever
                         Me Talk Pretty One Day

J.R.R. Tolkien--The Hobbit *

Mary Karr--Cherry
                    The Liar's Club
                    Lit

John Green--The Fault in Our Stars

Cheryl Strayed--Wild

Henry David Thoreau--Walden

Arthur Conan Doyle--The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

Charles Dickens--Our Mutual Friend

NaNoWriMo novel draft accomplished!

I hit the 50k word mark on November 22 this year, giving me plenty of time to do proofing of the first draft. Below is the book cover for this year's NaNoWriMo novel, designed by my amazing husband, Brad.
