Summer Reading List

I was thinking of doing another 9 Day Novel, to try and clear my head from the RP stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love RP, and I have a lot of stories I have yet to explore with these wonderful people I'm writing with, but I have been neglecting individual story telling events. Alane has popped up, ONCE AGAIN, in the most annoying fashion. I think I have to give tBoG a chance to actually develop.

But it occured to me that what I really should do is edit. I gave Bryan Fragmentation and it didn't turn out well. Part of it, I think, is that its Bryan, and he has problems listening to what I'm actually asking of him, and part of it is that it was a rush job and I need to worm out what I like about it first. So I'm putting it aside now and it occurs to me that what I really need to do, apart from write, is read.

I'm going to take a reading vacation at some point -- hopefully the end of August when I'll have vacation time from my job, and here is a list of books I have put on my kindle (which I plan to actually start carrying with me again) in the hopes of reading by September 1st.

01. Blood Work by Holly Tucker
02. Deja Dead by Kathy Reich
03. The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
04. If a Pirate I must Be by Richard Sanders
05. The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson
06. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
07. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

More will be added as this list is completed.
