Well-Seasoned Reader Finsher's Post

This is a sticky post; scroll down for newer posts.

Post a comment here with a link to your round-up post, or (failing that), the names of the three (or more) books you read. I'd like to know which one you enjoyed most. You have until March 31st, midnight (US Central time...) to finish. After which I'll draw for the prizes.

There'll be one grand prize winner... for any book under $20 at Powells.com. There will also be two runners up... for either delicious chocolates from Cero's Candies, a local chocolatier, or some butter toffee mix nuts from the Nifty Nut House (they are truly divine). Winners' choice.

Most of all, though, thanks to all for taking this journey with me and for making the dreary winter months pass much more quickly. My TBR list grew by leaps and bounds, and I discovered many lovely blogs by people who participated. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Some of the books I've read and enjoyed are BOOK OF A THOUSAND DAYS by Shannon Hale, INK EXCHANGE by Melissa Marr and MIRA, MIRROR by Mette Ivie Harrison. I'm a fantasy girl, can't you tell? The other book that I am currently reading and am enjoying a lot is SILVER PHOENIX by Cindy Pon. It will only be out at the end of April, so you might want to look out for it!

Thanks so much for hosting. Reading books about other cultures is one of my favorite reading areas. I also enjoy reading about food as well - so I will have to pick up some of these next :)
