2013 Reading List: April

APRIL

21. The CIA Lockpicking Manual, by the Central Intelligence Agency (not like it'll help, though at least I better understand the theory. The only locks I can successfully pick are TSA approved luggage locks. Real secure.)
20. 2BR02B, by Kurt Vonnegut (a very, very short story)
19. The Warlock, by Michael Scott (Book 5 of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel)
18. The Hippo with Toothache, edited by Lucy H. Spelman and Ted Y. Mashima (originally published in the US as The Rhino with Glue-on Shoes. I think it's fairly obvious why I checked this one out from the library. It's a bunch of zoo and wild-animal vet stories.)
17. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, by F. Scott Fitzgerald (I thought #16 might be a ripoff or variant of this. It isn't really, other than the reverse aging thing.)
16. I haven't Dreamed of Flying for a While, by Taichi Yamada (for reading group. This is one of the most self-important, boring books I've ever read.)

MARCH

15. The Necromancer, by Michael Scott (Book 4 of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel)
14. The Sorceress, by Michael Scott (Book 3 of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel)
13. The Magician, by Michael Scott (Book 2 of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel)
12. Plugged, by Eoin Colfer
11. The Ring of Solomon, by Jonathan Stroud (A "prequel" featuring Bartimaeus from The Bartimaeus Trilogy)

FEBRUARY

10. Weight, by Jeanette Winterson (for reading group. The parts where she wasn't naval gazing were ok. The parts where she was, well, yeah...)
9. The Lady of the Rivers, by Philippa Gregory (Book 3 of The Cousins War)
8. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot

JANUARY

7. The Walking Dead Volume 8: Made to Suffer, by Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, and Cliff Rathburn (graphic novel)
6. The Walking Dead Volume 7: The Calm Before, by Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, and Cliff Rathburn (graphic novel)
5. Love in the Afternoon, by Alison Packard
4. The Owl Killers, by Karen Maitland (for reading group)
3. The Bromeliad, by Terry Pratchett (actually a compilation of three of his books: Truckers, Diggers, and Wings)
2. Smitten, by Janet Evanovich
1. Witness, by Cath Staincliffe (for reading group)
