I told myself I wasn’t going to start any new books so I would hopefully finish all or at least most of the ones I’m currently reading before the start of my Sci-Fi Summer reading challenge. But then I saw “Wonder Woman” on Saturday and went on a binge of Wonder Woman books. Not only did I get The Secret History of Wonder Woman, but I also picked up a sticker book and two volumes of Wonder Woman comics. I immediately started reading The Secret History of Wonder Woman while I ate an almond croissant and drank a chai latte in the café of the bookstore. It’s the only book I want to read right now because it’s so interesting. The only other book I might finish this week is The Miniaturist, and that’s only because I can’t read while driving.

Total # of books for the year: 40 of 85. The Count of Monte Cristo has gotten much more interesting this week. However, Pack A Book’s next book, The Miniaturist, was only available as an audiobook through my library, so I’m taking a break from The Count of Monte Cristo to listen to that. I seriously need to stop starting new books and buckle down to finish the one’s I’m in the middle of so I can hopefully start my Sci-Fi Summer reading challenge fresh.

Total # of books for the year: 39 of 85. Ugh, The Count of Monte Cristo is so boring! That might be because I’ve been in more of a “cheap paperback” kind of mood than a “Classic Lit” one lately. Hence my devouring of Succubus Heat in less than a week. Actually, most of it was consumed on Saturday while I listened to a playlist of Nine Inch Nails, Kate Bush, and Placebo (you’ll understand why if you’ve read the book), sipped on a café mocha, and nibbled on an almond croissant.

Total pages read this week: 809. I would have finished A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again if I hadn’t discovered that Amazon started delivering groceries to my area. I saved so much time and energy, and while I still read, I stuck with my physical books instead of audio.

Yeah! It’s almost time for #COYER Summer! They’re doing things a bit differently this year, and I’ve decided to join in on the fun that is the Summer Reading List.
I enjoyed last year’s Sci-Fi Summer Reading Challenge so much that I’m going to do it again this year. I’m also going to start using the hashtag #SciFiSummer across all of my social media accounts (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Litsy – just look for Fortified By Books to add me).
The challenge is from June 20th, the official first day of Summer, to the 21st of September (the day before the Autumnal Equinox). Below are the levels:
Any book of at least 100 pages that is classified as Science Fiction, including any Sci-Fi subgenres, qualifies for this challenge. That means audiobooks, physical books, ebooks, library books, free books, other borrowed books, anthologies, and graphic novels are all acceptable options. You may also count any Sci-Fi book that counts towards another reading challenge. The link-up for your reviews will open on June 20th and stay open until September 25th.
This year, I’m going to attempt to reach the Jedi level, despite successfully earning Time Lord status last Summer. I just barely made it, though, and I’m sure the only reason was being out of work for nearly a week.
So, why not join me in a Summer full of Science Fiction fun? Link up your sign-up post below:
The challenge sign-up will stay open until September 14th.
