So you might have noticed I was trying to read 10 books during the month of July.
Well, I did read 10 books, but according to the rules of the game (books started in another month but finished in July and rereads count only as half a book) I only read six.
Regardless, I’m happy with my haul, because I finished off the Twilight series (this is the fourth time through them all) before the 4th book comes out this weekend, and I reread one of Carol Berg’s series before I’ll meet her again at Worldcon next weekend. I only read three new books, but I do want to note that there was about a week at the beginning of July (before I heard about the game) where I was trying to catch up on my magazine reading, since I am perpetually behind in my Newsweeks. So I really only had three weeks to read all that.
I’m really excited about Worldcon. I should have plenty of money, thanks to my curbing of my Borders appetite, and it’s in Denver, which is one of my favorite places. I’ll get to meet a couple of my favorite authors (the aforementioned Berg and Patrick Rothfuss and maybe even George RR Martin), attend some neat programming, and hopefully take a trek or two around Denver. Hopefully I will not get altitude sickness or forget anything.
Just have to make it through one more weekend of catsitting for my friend, and then it will be off to Worldcon–“One mile closer to the stars”!
btw, happy birthday to Harry Potter (likewise, JK Rowling)!
