Last year was my first FIR participation, and already! Here it is again! I'm through 80 books so far this year, but the fall is when things get busy. I'm participating in #biggestbloggingloser, which, God willing, will take up some of my time working out. There is Christmas shopping and holidays, family and thisthatandtheother, so I love this challenge since it keeps me reading among all the other things.
Book club books:
The Cost of Hope by Amanda Bennett
Manhunt by James L Swanson
Library list:
Game of Thrones by George R R Martin
In The Shadow of the Banyan by Vaddey Ratner
Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian
Savages by Don Winslow
When in Doubt, Add Butter by Beth Harbison
Other:
I need 13 other books to round out my reading through the end of the year (although Fall Into Reading runs through Dec. 21). Any suggestions? Have you read something amazing that I would enjoy?

I can lend you Game of Thrones on Kindle or real book, and Savages and Kings of Cool in kindle form, if you wanna.

Good luck with the challenge, you won't regret reading A Game of Thrones! =) I participating in the challenge too, and a new follower.
I think it doesn't lend to the kindle app, and I don't have a real kindle. I'm only 8 in line for Savages though, and I already have Game of Thrones from the library so I'm good! :)
Have you read the Hunger Games? My entire family really enjoyed those. Good luck with the challenge.

I have, I loved them! Thanks for the recommendation though!
I just started a book called Luxe that seems interesting (I think Maggie mentioned it, but I don't really remember...) and I always get a kick out of the Stephanie Plum series (One for the Money, et al) so if you're looking for some light mystery/romance/easy comedy, that's a good choice.
I keep finding new series, and I seem to be going through books even faster than usual w/ the Nook. This isn't good.
I've read the Stephanie Plum books and loved them (although there's a new one out! Woohoo!) but I'll look into Luxe. Thanks!
The Lincoln book sounds very interesting. Have you read "The Help"? Or "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" or "Wrapped in Rain" by Charles Martin or "The Kitchen Boy" by Robert Alexander? I really, really liked all of those.
Yes to the first two, no to the others. I'll have to check them out! Thanks!
I know you started the Emperor's Edge series, so if you haven't obsessed like me and finished the first 5, you have a few more you could add to your list. :)
I think you'd also like the Anna Dressed in Blood/Girl of Nightmares books.
I'm hoping there will be a new Bloodlines, Dark Swan, Children of Man, or Cinder book this year, but probably not until early next year. :(
Also, you'd probably like the Uglies series by Tad Williams (Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras). It's most similar to the Hunger Games, but it's much different too.
80 books so far this year? Wow, that's amazing! Nice job! And yes, didn't the past year just fly by? So glad to have you as part of Fall Into Reading again. Enjoy your fall reading!
I love your list! I haven't read any of the titles but see several that I might have to add to my tbr list. ;) Happy reading!
