    Finally caved and picked up Game of Thrones. It's funny, considering that people have been recommending it since I first came on the Internet, it feels like. I suppose I'll start it after the new Arina manga I picked up, too.

    Just started reading Water for Elephants, after several recommendations. I was over at my brother's place last night and my soon-to-be-sister-in-law had just finished reading it and lent it to me.

    Game of Thrones. I blame the new HBO adaptation for sparking my interest in the books.

    Currently reading "Dirty South" by... someone.
    No idea what "genre" you would call it, but it's one of the books that made it's circuit from my grandmother to my mother to my dad to me. And I got bored last night, so I started reading it.

    Battle Chasers by Joe Madureira. I have this neurotic stigma about delayed gratification, so although I've been hearing about this wonderful comic for @ a decade or more, I waited until now to buy the anthology and finally check it out. Anyway, I love it. You can just tell when a creator of a work has that "spark," and then you know that you're going to be treated to something truly special.

    Just finished reading Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult.

    Honestly, I don't usually like her novels that much. She likes to do a lot of "gray area," attempting to make you think but not really kind of stuff that has wwwwaaayyyyy too many characters to attempt to follow. I constantly had to remind myself throughout the novel who was who. Okay, Lacy is the mother of this person, and she's friends with this person... okay, I think I got it.

    However, the actual premise of the book was great. It's about a school shooting where a victim of heavy bullying lashes back. Has lots of flashbacks through the entire book about different key points in his life, in some of the other character's lives, etc, and a "twist ending" that I personally didn't see coming, but wasn't really built up all that well in my opinion.

    Anyways. I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who feels like being semi-guided through a great premise, but a mediocre execution.

    I just bought Volume 1 of the Blood+ novelization, so I'll start it tomorrow. If my lunches were longer, I would read it during lunch.
