6 Month Reading Review

I can't believe that we are already through half of the year!!!  It is time to review my reading goals and set some new ones for the rest of the year.  Here is the list I set at the beginning of the year in case you want to check out what I have read every month (with some additions from the beginning of the year).  Here is the summary of all of the books that I have read each month.

I read all of the Robert Parker books including Spenser and Sunny Randall series (Jesse Stone read last year) written by the original author.  I read the Debbie Macomber book series about Blossom Street.  I read the Virgin River series by Robyn Carr (finished Grace Valley series in December).  In addition, I read 25 books from the library and advanced book review copies.

I still have a book shelf full of books that I have to read that I own.  Listed below are the book that I have left to read:

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
Ya-Yas in Bloom by Rebecca Wells
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Little Bee by Chris Cleave
In The Woods by Tina French
Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts
The Memory Keepers Daughter by Kim Edwards
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Wicked by Gregory Maguire
Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger
Light On Snow by Anita Shreve
The First Wives Club by Olivia Goldsmith
Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum
The Horse Whisperer by Nicholas Evans

I added a few extra books to my list and on reserve at the library:

Cedar Cover series by Debbie Macomber (14 books)

The Wanderer (Thunder Point) by Robyn Carr

The Newcomer (Thunder Point)

by Robyn Carr

The Hero (Thunder Point) by Robyn Carr

Informed Risk: A Hero for Sophie Jones (Harlequin Bestselling Author) by Robyn Carr

I have set aside a list to start reading in July.  I think that I will come up with a few more in order to fill up the whole month and I might move some of these books into August.  I do tend to find a lot of books to read as I need to so I am sure that I will add a few more as they come up and put off some of the other books until I get through the new ones.  I hope that every month will bring as many good books still left to read!!
