Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
Read the synopses of the books
Decide: keep it or should it go?
My shelf skyrocketed to 1141 books. I bought a Humble Bundle ebook bundle of Seanan McGuire’s “October Daye” and “InCryptid” series.
This week’s books:
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire – KEEP. This is the first book in yet another series, “Wayward Children,” by McGuire that I want to read.
Chilling Effect by Valerie Valdes – KEEP. I was hoping to get to this book for this year’s #SciFiSummer, but with less than 3 weeks to go, I doubt that will happen. I’ll have to make it a priority for next year.
Artificial Condition by Martha Wells – KEEP. This is another book I want to read for the Sci-Fi Summer reading challenge this year, and it’s short enough that I might get to it.
Inconspicious Consumption by Tatiana Schlossberg – GO. I don’t know why, but I originally thought this was a book more about how to be a Minimalist than anything else, but its focus is on the horrible consequences of consumerism, which I already know more than enough about.
No Man’s Land by Simon Tolkien – GO. If I remember correctly, the author is J.R.R. Tolkien’s grandson, so, of course, I was immediately intrigued; however, I don’t think I can take on such a dark and heart-breaking story as the synopsis makes this book out to be.
My want-to-read shelf is back down a couple of books to 1139. The next post will be mostly ebooks I already own.
My ankle got worse and I ended up having to go to Urgent Care. The doctor put me in a walking cast for the week because I wouldn’t be able to work with crutches, not to mention trying to get to and from work from where I park would’ve been excruciating.
The Boyfriend and I went to Cleveland to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and I’m so thankful that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has free scooter rentals; otherwise, I doubt I would have been able to go, even with being in a walking cast.
I’m posting this a day late because the Boyfriend and I were in Cleveland celebrating our 10th anniversary! We went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because neither of us had ever been. The drive to Cleveland was a bit stressful, but we listened to Odd and the Frost Giants on the way home, which was the perfect length.
Now that I’m back home, I am ready to finish out the last couple of weeks of #SciFiSummer while also fully embracing all things creepy and scary for #RIP. I’ll be participating in 4 of the 5 categories, but focusing on “Peril of the Fiction Read,” and I’ll track everything in these weekly posts.
