One, Two, Theme! update

I feel compelled to inform you of where I'm at on my One, Two, Theme! reading challenge.   First, I must tell you about the challenge. "The idea of the challenge is to read about specific topics that interest you, in various degrees of detail. For theme 1 you'll read one book, for theme 2 you'll read two books, for theme 3 you'll read three books and so on."  Oh, and once you get to theme 2 and beyond, you have to read at least one fiction and one non-fiction book.  


Originally I had planned to read more books on bees and genetics, and I also had a theme for psychology (see my old post with themes here).  But I am rewriting my story and it needs more scientific research to make the story more realistic.  Research about what, you may ask?  The brain AKA, neuroscience.  So, I have restructured my themes as you see here, and also crossed off and rated those books I've read.  It's not too late to join in on the reading challenge fun!


Here's my themes:

1) bees 
-Honeybee: Lessons From an Accidental Beekeeper (NF)  4 stars!  Fun AND informative.
2) genetics
-Genetics Demystified (NF)
-Champion Maker (F)
3) writing
-On Writing: A Memoir of Craft (NF)   5 stars!  Awesome writer's resource!!!
-Misery (F)    4 stars.  Super creepy!
-Zen and the Art of Writing (NF)
4) neuroscience (research for my current writing project)
-The Brain That Changes Itself (NF)  4 1/2 stars.  Amazing true stories and case studies!
-Left Brain/Right Brain (NF)
-Mind Wide Open (NF)
-Saturday (F)
4) cake decorating (my new, self-taught hobby)
-Hello Cupcake! (NF)  5 stars!  Awesome pics!
-What's New Cupcake? (NF)  5 stars!   More awesome pics!
-Wilton Cake Decorating Basics (NF)  3 stars.  Boring, yet informative tips.

So, what do you want to learn more about?  Willing to read a few books about it?
