My TBR list

I thought I'd list a few of the books on my to-be-read list, just out of interest's sake. GoodReads will tell you I have 129 books on that list, but those are only the ones I've bothered to add yet. I went through and added all the books on my "to be read before any other books" shelf - yep, I have an entire shelf devoted to this. But there is almost a full bookcase of "books to be read after the first books I am going to read". ;)

So the ones I added to the list last night (as well as some that have been on the list since 2009...) are:

1. Mercy - Picoult, Jodi
2. The Complete Fairy Tales - Grimm, Brothers
3. The Earthsea Quartet (The Earthsea Cycle, Books 1-4) - Guin, Ursula K. Le
4. Farmers and Mercenaries - Drake, Maxwell Alexander *
5. Phantom Waltz (Kendrick/Coulter, #2) - Anderson, Catherine
6. Trace (Kay Scarpetta, #13) - Cornwell, Patricia
7. Of Mice and Men - Steinbeck, John
8. Shakespeare's Sonnets - Shakespeare, William
9. The Picture of Dorian Gray - Wilde, Oscar
10. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Stories - Stevenson, Robert Louis
11. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Twain, Mark
12. The Anatomy of Wings - Foxlee, Karen
13. Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About You - Gosling, Sam *
14. The Importance of Being Earnest - Wilde, Oscar
15. Bleeding Violet - Reeves, Dia *
16. Colour, the - Tremain, Rose
17. The Pilot's Wife - Shreve, Anita
18. The Crimson Portrait - Shields, Jody
19. Love and the Platypus - Drayson, Nicholas
20. Bear is Now Asleep - Verity, William
21. Spiral (Book 2) - Suzuki, Koji
22. Ring (Book 1) - Suzuki, Koji
23. Hollywood Wives - Collins, Jackie
24. Audrey, Wait! - Benway, Robin
25. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass - Carroll, Lewis
26. On Writing - King, Stephen
27. War and Peace - Tolstoy, Leo
28. The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure - Goldman, William
29. Fortune's Rocks - Shreve, Anita
30. Mutiny on the Bounty - Nordhoff, Charles Bernard
31. Break No Bones (Temperance Brennan, #9) - Reichs, Kathy
32. Second Glance - Picoult, Jodi
33. The Pact - Picoult, Jodi
34. Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha - Doyle, Roddy
35. The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary - Winchester, Simon
36. Blinking with Fists - Corgan, Billy
37. Cat Dreamer - Carmody, Isobelle
38. Lord Minimus: The Extraordinary Life of Britain's Smallest Man - Page, Nick
39. The Distant Land of My Father - Caldwell, Bo

I'm pretty sure all or most of these are on my "TBR immediately" shelf. ;) Of course, the Alice in Wonderland book may well be bumped to the top, if I reach June by the time I get to my next book. That's what we're reading for the A'vron Classic Book Club June session.

I also want to mention that I am finally the proud owner of some of Isobelle Carmody's Obernewtyn books - I found #4 and #5 in K-mart (I think it was K-mart...) for the major bonus price of $3 each!! So now I just have to order the other 3 books (I'm planning on Book Depository, which will be even cheaper what with their current 15% off by the end of May deal), and I'll have the whole set to date. I'm thinking I may have to wait till 2013 to see the third book of the Legendsong come out. Hey, what's another couple of years - already been waiting since 2002!!

So, basically I've got no shortage of books to read - and this isn't counting all the books I have yet to acquire, like the second Hex Hall book, the second Mortal Instruments book (which is actually in the mail headed my way right now), and other books.

And for a Goals update:
