I've disappeared into the oblivion again, but, in my defence, work's caught up with me and my exhaustion levels have hit new highs. This is just a quick post, about my February reading plans. I still have my weekly 2666 post to do, and another review coming up, but, let's put that on hold for now. So, February! I'm a sucker for alliterations, so here's to what I call Female February, i.e. a month of reading female authors only. I've not done that in ages. Plus, as March starts with the letter, "M," it makes good sense. Well, to me anyway. And sometimes, themed reading is a good thing!!
- Toni Morrison - Song of Solomon : My first experience with Toni Morrison didn't go too well, but Claire mentioned that she's reading it this month, and asked me to join in. So, I'm giving her another shot, last week of the month.
- Nancy Huston - Fault Lines : This book was shortlisted for the Orange Prize in 2008, and I picked it up randomly sometime last year... just never got 'round to reading it. Now is as good a time as any, I guess.
- Alice Munro - Runaway : Again, I picked this up last year, and it just completely slipped my radar. Saw it on the Waterstone's Books of the Decade, and figured it's time I read it.
- Maya Angelou - I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings : This has been on my TBR forever! Am really really looking forward to this one.
- Sarah Waters - Night Watch : I've really enjoyed both the Sarah Waters I read last year, and intend to read all the books by her. Three more to go... reckon I can do it this year.
- Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice : I've never read a Jane Austen novel! I might be the only one in the blogosphere who hasn't... Mee is hosting a readalong for Pride and Prejudice first timers. I fit the bill, so I joined in!
That's my February plan as of now. How 'bout yours?
