Do the A-Z author challenge

I’ve just finished the first book of The Wheel of Time series, so I’ve completed my J.
Will have to start reading Geisha of Gion soon, but Twilight just pulled me right in and won’t let me get out!

So, here’s my list of the remaining books I need to read to complete this goal:

I: Mineko Iwasaki – Geisha of Gion
N: Katherine Neville – The Eight
O: Neil Olson – The Icon: A Novel
Q: Daniel Quinn – The Holy
U: Laura J. Underwood – Demon-bound series
X: Xinran – Miss Chopsticks
Y: Chelsea Quinn Yarbro – Saint-Germain series
Z: Roger Zelazny – Changeling saga

I’ve finally received Geisha of Gion, but I haven’t started reading it yet. I’m currently reading Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series – well, the first book in the series that is. So I think I’m going to mix up my list a bit:

I: Mineko Iwasaki – Geisha of GionJ: Robert Jordan – The Wheel of Time
N: Katherine Neville – The Eight
O: Neil Olson – The Icon: A Novel
Q: Daniel Quinn – The Holy
U: Laura J. Underwood – Demon-bound series
X: Xinran – Miss Chopsticks
Y: Chelsea Quinn Yarbro – Saint-Germain series
Z: Roger Zelazny – Changeling saga

This doesn’t mean that I’m not going to read Howl’s moving castle, because I’m really anxious to read it. It’s just that I have to be a bit more focused on finishing the 10 books I’m currently reading. It’s a bit confusing, I’ll tell you, reading that many books at one time – some in english and some in norwegian. But since I’m currently reading Robert Jordan, I’ll make him my J.=)

Sooo, I’m highlighting my I and my J – only 7 more to go when I’m finished with those two!

I’m still waiting for Geisha of Gion, it took a bit longer than they anticipated because it’s in english. frick
I’m reading Memoirs of a Geisha now, just to get in the mood, but I’m nearly finished so I hope Geisha of Gion arrives in time. Can’t wait to read it though!

finally bought Geisha of Gion. It will arrive in about 2 weeks. Can’t wait to start reading it! Loved Memoirs of a Geisha, so I’m hoping this won’t be a let-down.

Not so sure about Miss Chopsticks now, so maybe I’ll have to find another book in my X-spot. Will see, but I still have many great books ahead of me, so I’m not bothering to stress about it.=)

I’ve finished reading Unholy Grail, so I’m checking this out of my list. (A huuuuge meh from me…)
Also, I’ve read Paktens Voktere – on of my top 5 favourite books, it was great!!! So, checking this off my list too.
I want to start reading Geisha of Gion, but I have to buy it first, so I’m taking a break from my list to read Harry Potter for the umpteenth time.=)

J: Diana Wynne Jones – Howl’s Moving Castle
N: Katherine Neville – The Eight

Y: Chelsea Quinn Yarbro – Saint-Germain series

Jules Verne – 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

I’ll put this in the same category as the Count of Monte Christo. Loved it since I was little.

J.R.R. Tolkien – The Hobbit

A better read than the Lord of the Rings, so you can imagine how good it is!

Patrick Susking – Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

Creepy, tantalizing, great!
