Well, I have neglected both reading and blogging this year, but here's the list so far:
Fiction (5):
The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared *** by Jonas Jonasson
Ghost Children *** by Sue Townsend
Little Bee by Chris Cleave **** shocking story about Nigeria
419 by Will Ferguson **** 2012 Giller Prize - about Lagos
Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber by Adele Lang -** yes that's a minus 2 stars. Rubbish, didn't finish.
Mystery (2):
Until the Night by Giles Blunt ** another John Cardinal mystery, set in northern Ontario
Bloodline by Lynda LaPlante **
Personal Finance (3):
Stop Acting Rich by Thomas Stanley * pretty much a repeat of previous books, which were great
Blog Inc. by Joy Deangdeelert Cho ****
ProBlogger by Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett ****
Language (1):
The Story of English in 100 Words by David Crystal *** another book about words, and another by Crystal, but very good and original information.
Health (3):
Super Immunity by Joel Fuhrman ** pretty much what I've been saying all along but good to have reinforcement, but goes too far from natural remedies
The Melt Method by Sue Hitzman ** another approach to dealing with chronic pain, but pretty much what I do when my body falls apart. Good reinforcement, but goes too far from natural remedies
Clean Gut by Alejandro Junger ** reinforcing previous thoughts on the gut being the main health system
French Culture (4):
Paris Revealed by Stephen Clarke
Provence A-Z *** by Peter Mayle
Touche, A French Woman's Take on the English by Agnes Catherine Poirier * interesting but not well written
Bebe Day by Day by Pamela Druckerman ** one of several recent books on how to raise kids
Shame on me, but I have read plenty online stuff.
