Rebecca's Journal

books read
It has been a month since I went in for surgery. During my recovery time I assumed that I would read a little, watch some movies and tv, maybe knit. Instead I mostly just read. The following is my list of things to read when in recovery:

The Winter Room by Gary Paulsen
A Tan and Sandy Silence by John McDonald
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs
Promethia (vol 1) by Alan Moore
Tam Lin by Pamela Dean
The Scarlet Ruse by John McDonald
The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey by Trenton Lee Stewart
Dragons Wild by Robert Aspirin
Dragons Luck by Robert Aspirin
Dealing With Dragons by Patricia Wrede
Sunshine by Robin McKinley
House of Mystery (vol 2) by various
The Ruby in the Smoke by Phillip Pullman
The Shadow in the North by Phillip Pullman

I've had a really good run of interesting and amusing books. Some were from series I already know I liked (McDonald's McGee mysteries) some are the start of new series for me to read (Dealing with Dragons) but all of them held my attention. I've just started the third of Pullman's Sally Lockhart books, and on deck after that is a book from my brother by Lee Child called 'Killing Floor'. I don't think I'll be able to maintain this reading pace for much longer, and certainly not without finding the closest library to where I will be living. But it's been good to simply dive into books for a month.
