Total # of books for the year: 42 of 85. COYER Summer started on Saturday and in just a few days my Sci-Fi Summer reading challenge will start as well. Until both are over, I won’t be reading any of the books I haven’t finished by today, except for The Count of Monte Cristo because I’m determined to finish that beast before I forget what I’ve already read. Instead, I’ll be reading off of my reading list, and that means nothing but Science Fiction until September 🙂

I saw one of BrenhinesBooks Down the TBR Hole posts and thought, “What a neat idea!” It was started by Lia over at Lost in a Story. All book covers are linked to Goodreads unless otherwise noted.
I will be repeating this process every week until I’ve filtered out my entire TBR. I currently have 584 books on my to-read shelf, but I’m sure there are several books I already own that haven’t made it onto the list yet, and I know several of the books I’ve stacked on Litsy aren’t on my Goodreads. So, the mountain may get larger before it diminishes.
Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor – KEEP. This is a definite keeper since I’ve read and loved the first two books.
The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen – KEEP. I already own this as an ebook and the synopsis is still interesting enough to not send it to the archive unread.
The First Pillar by Roy Huff – KEEP. This is another one I already own as an ebook and am still interested in reading at some point.
Prisoner of the Daleks by Trevor Baxendale – KEEP. I’m very much a Whovian, and David Tennant is one of my fave Doctors.
The Slitheen Excursion by Simon Guerrier – KEEP. See above. Enough said.
I’m not even going to list the next 5 books because they are all Doctor Who, and I’m keeping them. It’s the same with the next 15 on the list. Apparently, I went a little Doctor Who crazy on Goodreads when I discovered there were books 🙂 So, my to-read shelf remains at 584 books and I’ll be starting off next week with book #26.

Total # of books for the year: 40 of 85. 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.
