I finally finished How to Invent Everything late last night before I went to bed, and I have no idea which book from my TBR stack for #SciFiSummer I’ll pick up next. Whichever book I choose, it will probably be a shorter one, since it took me a month to finish How to Invent Everything.

This has been a very stressful week, and I’ve been too tired to read much. I’ve got less than two hours left of Something Rotten, according to Audible, so I’m hoping I’ll at least have that finished by the middle of the week at the latest.

I feel like this was a slow reading week, even though I turned 308 pages. I didn’t finish any books, so maybe that’s why. It may also be partly because I’m struggling to get through How to Invent Everything. It’s interesting, but it’s definitely not action-packed. It’s more of a humorous history of civilization through our inventions. I’ve gotten about halfway through it, so hopefully, I’ll be able to finish it in a couple of weeks.

With six books finished for #SciFiSummer, I’ve achieved my goal of “Viper Pilot.” I will of course keep reading Science Fiction throughout the rest of the challenge, which doesn’t end until September 21st, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish the five books I would need to get “Jedi.”

Five books finished for #SciFiSummer! I’m only one book away from achieving my goal of “Viper Pilot.” I owe it all to a long weekend and then a week of being too sick to do anything else but read when I wasn’t sleeping.

Two books finished for #SciFiSummer! If I manage to keep this up, I might get “Jedi” (11 to 15 books). Illuminae is a bit of a chunkster, though, so it’s going to take a while to finish. That’s why I chose “Viper Pilot” (6 to 10 books). I want to be able to enjoy longer books and not deliberately stick to the shorter ones to reach a lofty goal.

#SciFiSummer got off to a great start as soon as I finished the two non-Sci-Fi books I had been reading. I plan to finish All Systems Red today, but I’m not sure what book from my TBR pile I’ll choose after that.

I’ve decided to bring back #SciFiSummer, and since the first official day of Summer is Tuesday, I’m trying to finish my current reads before I start anything else. Tomorrow, I have the day off, since it’s a Federal holiday, so I’m hoping that will be enough time, along with whatever time I have to read today to finish The Stolen Marriage. I already know I’m going to finish Resistance today while I do some housework.

I started feeling depressed and not in the mood for anything that required critical thinking, hence the 3 short, light, and hilarious books in my “Finished” section. Into the Drowning Deep was a very satisfying Horror novel, perfect for the Summer, though it did have a lot of setup to get through before the killing began.

I needed something to cheer me up after finishing The Stranger’s Shadow and saying goodbye to Echo, and Equal Rites turned out to be just what I needed. Unfortunately, I’ve been too tired to read much of it by the end of the day so I’m only a little more than 50 pages in.
