Well, which books am I going to read in 2011? That's though because I make my reading decision always very spontaneously.. But I think these ten will work their way into my head this year:
1. ASH by Malinda Lo (2010) - yes, you know that if you're following this blog. I am going to read this one veeeery soon. ;") (Actually it is my next read.)
2. ANATOMY OF A MURDER by Robert Traver (1958) - do you know the film?? It's great!! (- yes, am preparing a film review in my film blog then, too.)
3. MY WICKED, WICKED WAYS by Errol Flynn (1959)- I love that man! (I think this is something I owe to my Dad..) I started to read this book last year - and loved it. Than I had to break the reading because I had to catch up with my classics book club reading - and this year I will finish it.
4. A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY by Libba Bray (2003) - this was on so many Best of 2010 lists.. :")
5. PROPHECY OF THE SISTERS by Michelle Zink (2009) - *ahem* I fell in love with a book cover - and it's setted in 1890..
6. IT SEEMED IMPORTANT AT THE TIME - A ROMANCE MEMOIR by Gloria Vanderbilt (2004) - I love biographies - and hej, there's Frank Sinatra in it! :")
7. There is a German Edition of Vita Sackville-West's Gardening columns - (3 volumnes actually) and this year I am going to read them all. Here's the cover for the Summer columns - pretty, eh?:
8. THE WAR AGAINST MISS WINTER by Kathryn Miller Haines (2007) - eventually a mistery setted in the first half of the 20.century is released in German!! *yay*
- German editors seem to twit me: They release the first book of a series than the third and then they withdrew it. I am waiting for so many series.. as the JOSEPHINE TEY MYSTERIES, A ROYAL SPYNESS MYSTERIES, THE LADY JULIA GREY MYSTERIES, THE MOLLY MURPHY MYSTERIES... *sigh*

9. THE LOST ART OF KEEPING SECRETS by Eva Rice (2005) - setted in 1950ies - I won't say more..
10. MANSFIELD PARK by Jane Austen (1814). Really, do I need to explain that? ;")
A German cover which I find really beautiful:
And? Have you books you want to read THIS year?

I've read the book The Anatomy of a Murder, but I've never seen the film. I keep meaning to. I've also read The War Against Miss Winter. It's a pretty good one.
AntwortenLöschenMansfield Park is on my list too!
AntwortenLöschenMein Sommergarten's cover is Gorgeous! You actually have quite a few interesting covers! I liked The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets cover too.
Love the look of your blog!
Great List! Thanks for sharing!
AntwortenLöschenI want to read A Great And Terrible Beauty, but only after I read Going Bovine!
AntwortenLöschenLove your list! I resolve to read Prophecy of the sisters this year too. As for Mansfield Park, The Lost art of Keeping Secrets and A Great and Terrible Beauty - I have read and loved them! I hope you do too.
AntwortenLöschenVery nice list! I have read and enjoyed Prophecy of the Sisters and a Great and Terrible Beauty. Hope you like them! I will look for your review of Ash. Have fun on your reading adventures!
AntwortenLöschenFirst of all:
AntwortenLöschenThank you all for your nice comments! It's a great feeling that outthere in the world people are reading my entries.. (and a bit crazy, too) :")
Marce, I am really looking forward to read Prophecy of the Sisters!
Bev, glad that you liked Miss Winter - now I know it will be good. :")
Laura, thank you for following! Jane Austen is on quite a lot lists I noticed! That's great! ou picked two covers I like very much, too. The cover Mein Sommergarten (easy to translate that one isn't it? = My summer garden!!) is so alluring!
You're welcome, Andrea! :")
Kara, I am so unsure about Going bovine - the German cover doesn't appeal to me.. Well, I am eager to hear what's your impression! :")
Thank you, Misha! I hope will have both fun with Prophecy of the sisters! Actually I stumbled over The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets at your blog - and because you liked the Libba Bray book I decided to read it. :")
thereadingdate, I hope that I'll like them, too! :") I am going to comment on your blog when I review Ash. (I am really curious for that story..)
