Total books for the year: 90 of 95.  I was in a mood most foul earlier in the week and went on Litsy to ask for book recommendations.  My request was for stories full of Buffy-like ass-kicking characters, and that’s how I ended up reading The Secret Hour.  So far, it has hit the spot perfectly even though there hasn’t been much ass-kicking yet.  I’m nearly done with it, and once I am, I’ll catch up with the Silmarillion for #LOTRChapteraDay.  I should be finished with that by the end of this week.  Then I’ll be trying to finish the rest of my current reads before the start of #COYER on December 16th.  Speaking of #COYER, I’ve been preparing by finally, and slowly getting all of my books scanned into Goodreads.  Once I’m done, I’ll also be fully prepped for next year’s #ShelfLove.

Total # of books for the year: 89 of 95.  I upped my main reading goal again, and with any luck, I’ll have to raise it to 100 by the end of the month 🙂
This weekend was the Texas Book Festival.  I originally planned to go both days, but then I found out that Kate Milford (author of Greenglass House) and Maggie Stiefvater (The Raven Boys) were both going to be there on Sunday, so I saved my spoons.  I’m so glad I did because the humidity was brutal and I bought so many books that I then had to lug around with me in my tote bag that I would have never made it through the day had I gone on Saturday as well.

Total # of books for the year: 85 of 90.  I hit my original reading goal for the year of 85 books so I raised it to 90.  I may have to raise it to 95 before the end of the month, though, since finishing all of my current reads, except for A Walk in the Woods, would bring me up to 90.
