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)!
