It's Monday (2)

Ah, another Monday. Well, at least there are a million books to read....

It's Monday! What are you reading is hosted over at Book Journey. I love this meme, and I will probably forget to link up, but hey, at least I have a map for my reading this week.

Last week was a total FAIL. I still have not finished Triangles, Frost, or started Dearly Departed.

I got distracted by this book:

And it was fabulous!!!! At least I can count it toward my Middle Grade read of the week. It was so good, I am putting this into the hands of anyone feeling the emptiness left behind by the end of The Series of Unfortunate Events.

And this book:

Which is good because it is one I own and the "book diet" dictates I should work on stuff I have. I had a hard time getting into this one, but once it got rolling, I could not put it down.

So this week my plan looks like this:
Steampunk: An Anthology (from library)
Darth Paper Strikes Back (my middle grade read)
And one book I own (I don't care which one, I just HAVE to own it)
plus finish Triangles (I only have twenty-five pages to go!)

Let's see how I do.
Happy Monday, everyone.

Nebula Nominees Novellette

The Nebula nominees keep coming and I keep knocking them down! So far, I haven't really run into anything I have found so undesireable that I have been unable to finish it. I realize that some things are not going to be to my taste, and I am not going to beat myself up for not finishing them. The novellettes were not a problem. Also, how cute is the word "novellette"? I read some really great stories in this category. "The Long Fall Up" is simply mind-blowing with the idea that a woman so wants to give birth under her own terms that should would steal a spaceship and take off-knowing that she would be alone for delivery. Wow. "Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea" is another modern fairy tale that I just loved. Seriously, Sarah Pinsker just made the LIST (the list of new authors I have discovered while doing this project). "Blood Grains Speak Through Memories" is unlike anything I have every read in my entire life, it freaked m...
