Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about mid-year reading…
Now that we’ve come to the middle of the year, what do you think of your 2009 reading so far? Read anything interesting that you’d like to share? Any outstanding favourites?
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.
I’m pretty happy with what I’ve read so far this year, despite my having being reluctant to pick up anything too heavy over the last two months or so. At this point last year, I was sitting on 33 books, while right now I’m on 54 – which I feel pretty good about since the 100+ Books Challenge is the only challenge I do every year and so I’m on track.
Looking back over my reads so far I couldn’t pick just one favourite – but I didn’t really expect myself to be able to, either! So these would have to be my top four. All of which I gave a 5/5 – I was surprised by this, because I try not to have many 5s.
- Looking for Alaska

Looking forward to seeing everyone's answers!
Here's my response.
My sister loves Looking For Alaska. I actually bought her her own copy the beginning of this year, because she just kept getting it from the library to read over and over again. I have yet to read it, I will have to.
Here's my musing :

I don't blame you for some of those 5/5 ratings. Looking for Alaska was dynamite.
HI!
Haven't read any of your books. But I have heard Looking for Alaska is really good. Mine is posted at my place, Just Books. Have a great day!

The list of books is after the looong monologue! :P
No stats on My Post, not a one, thank you.
But there are some nice photos of wild animals!
I don't think it is a book that anybody would call enjoyable, but here's my Musing Monday post.

Great question!

I so have to read "Looking for Alaska." I got it because so many bloggers raved about it and now you gave it 5 stars!
The first half of 2009 was a great reading 6 months for me. I found two 21th century books that are in my top ten of all time books, I reread some great old books, and I read some very good first novels that gave me new writers to follow.
My 2009 list is posted on my blog
