So I'm reading my own height in books, following this plan. I'm precisely 5'4", which is kind of handy for statistics. (Metric translation: 1.62~ metres). I also want to write reviews for them, so I need to catch up on writing them. I'll link to reviews here, but post them elsewhere.
So far the wall-chart reads
New (floor to knee):
The Demon's Lexicon, by Sarah Rees Brennan
Anything goes (knee to hip):
The Dragon Reborn, by Robert Jordan*
The Vintner's Luck, by Elizabeth Knox*
...and nothing for Sirius stuff (imaginatively named byshanaqui, because one of my protagonists is named Sirius, and that's also the name of my laptop) or Unexpected, yet.
Asterisks denote re-reads of books (I'm only allowed to count re-reads if it's over two years since I read the book). So between us,shanaqui and I have covered all four sections, so far. Go us!
Now I need to go find a slightly thicker 'New' book, because The Book of Enoch is going to add about a millimetre to my chart, but it's really wordy and hard to read.
