September Specials Update 2


OK so not a very exciting title but I couldn't think of another book related word starting with S! August Authorfest went well so I'm doing a few special things for September to keep up the tempo! As the month has thirty days, I will have 3 themes which will each last for ten days. One will be Series Catch Up, the second will be Shark! which sort of explains itself, and the third is Solo where I read stand-alone books. I'll need to read as much as I can in each category during their span.

Here are the books I've chosen. I'm off to a better start than I thought! Red are the books I read in week one. I didn't read much in week two which is shown in pink. Week three is marked in blue. Week four is purple.

SERIES CATCHUP
I'm trying to finish the Kitty Norville series by Carrie Vaughn and I have 7 books left and 10 days to do it. The Kitty books are 300-400 pages each! I'll try my best though! I should fit in Martha Wells as well as that is pretty short and I hope to get to Black Swarm if I do really well!

1) Carrie Vaughn-Kitty's Big Trouble (read)
2) Carrie Vaughn-Kitty Steals The Show (read)
3) Carrie Vaughn-Kitty Rocks The House (read)
4) Carrie Vaughn-Kitty In The Underworld (read)
5) Carrie Vaughn-Low Midnight (read)
6) Carrie Vaughn-Kitty Saves The World 
7) Carrie Vaughn-Kitty's Greatest Hits (anthology) (read)
8) Martha Wells-Rogue Protocol (read)
9) Jamie Hutchison-Black Swarm 



SHARK! 
You know I love my sharks and a whole ten days of shark books and films sounds great! This is my short list! I don't think I'll get the Salechii series finished but it depends how short the bridge stories are between the main books.

2) Greig Beck-Fathomless
3) Chris Jameson-Devil Sharks
4) Matt Serafini-Island Red
5) Michael Bray-Feed (read)

2) Empire Of The Sharks
3) Shark Lake
4) Toxic Shark
5) Ozark Sharks
6) Atomic Shark

SOLO
These are stand-alone books that I want to read. I'm only trying to read a few novels as Gameland has over 800 pages! The other two are short stories so I'll get them done.

1) Ernest Cline-Armada
2) Saul Tanpepper-Gameland
3) Hunter Shea-Rattus New Yorkus (read)
4) Patrick Sheane Duncan-Dracula vs Hitler
