2010-07-24 [Viking]: Of course they do!

And I really need to update this page. And write reviews of the books I've read in the last few months.

2010-07-24 [*Phoenix*]: lol. :]

I know what you mean! I've been reviewing a bunch here lately. I only have a few more left to do, then I'm all caught up! Woot!

2010-07-24 [windowframe]: I was going to prod you about, Viking. :3 *demands update*

2010-07-25 [*Phoenix*]: I'll help you SilverFire! *starts poking Viking in the ribs with a pointy stick* <img:stuff/mood5-gif.gif> heeehe. Fuuunn...

Sorry. I ish a little off today. I'm not sure why...

2010-07-25 [Viking]: Hmm...yeah...I just need to remember what I actually read. If I don't actually write these things down it's easy for me to forget some of them unless someone brings up the title...

2010-07-25 [windowframe]: Stare at your bookshelves? That usually helps me. <_<

2010-07-25 [Viking]: A little problem there...I just mounted some nice shelves on the wall of my living room and am still moving books from bookcases to those shelves. And that means there are lots of piles of books here and there and over there and on top of that table and under the table over there...

Anyhoo, I don't really want to include a book I read a year ago because it happens to be in the same stack as a bunch of books I read earlier this year.

2010-07-27 [Viking]: Hmm...I think that's all of 'em. I might be missing one or two, though. Either way, I'm still a few books behind.

Also, I really need to edit my earlier reviews. Some of them are very poorly written D=

2010-07-27 [*Phoenix*]: Good luck with that! I'm off to read! xD

2010-07-27 [Viking]: Thanks =)

2010-07-27 [*Phoenix*]: Welcomes!

2010-08-05 [Viking]: Well, I'm getting there with the reviews...

2010-08-06 [*Phoenix*]: *claps* You can do it!

2010-09-20 [windowframe]: :O I have She. Haven't read it yet, though.

2010-09-20 [Viking]: It's been slow-going for me. Sometimes the old-fashioned first-person narrative just doesn't keep me interested.

2010-09-20 [windowframe]: If it's anything like King Solomon's Mines or Allan Quatermain I don't have too much trouble with it (the first person narrative), but they're a bit predictable and the two I read were incredibly similar in terms of plot, so I figured I needed to leave it a while before trying another one.

2010-09-20 [Viking]: I'm sure it's very similar to those. I've not read either of them, but I've seen movie versions of both (and She as well). They're all the same type of adventure.

2010-10-19 [Mirime]: Oh! You're going to read She! I just put up a review of one of Haggard's books :) I inherited a whole load of them years ago, from my great-grandfather, and I've been interested in him ever since :) I know what you mean about the narrative, but eventually as I read the adventure gets interesting. He can be quite funny sometimes, I think.

2010-10-19 [Viking]: Yeah, it got better. It took me a while to adjust to the style. I also have King Solomon's Mines and I'll probably read that one soon. Of course, I still need to do a few more reviews...

2010-10-20 [Mirime]: Sounds like a plan ^_^

2010-12-31 [Viking]: Looks like 39 is as far as I'm getting this year.

I had hoped for 1 book per week, but ended up with 3 books per 4 weeks. Not bad, really.
