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 Spawn
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'm pleased with progress by Day 21 but as I've cut down my Solo section (see below) I'm extending my shark reads by a few days to try and get everything done.

2) Greig Beck-Fathomless (read)

SOLO
These are stand-alone books that I want to read. Had issues with this section as one of the short stories couldn't be found on ereader or computer so I scrapped it. Gameland is also going to be too long to fit in this month so it's on the back burner to next month. I do hope to fit in the other two before the month ends though.
1) Ernest Cline-Armada
2) Saul Tanpepper-Gameland (DNS)
3) Hunter Shea-Rattus New Yorkus (read)
4) Patrick Sheane Duncan-Dracula vs Hitler
FILMS
1) Ready Player One
2) Paddington
3) Paddington 2
4) Vampire Academy
5) Divergent
I also want to read Dracula vs Hitler!! Anything better than Vamps + WII??? A THINK NOT! :)
ReplyDeleteTalking about Vamps...I can't believe I haven't read or watch vampire academy yet!
I read the first Vampire Academy book and quite liked it but never got to the rest of the books. I think I started book 2 but don't remember what happened to make me stop! I'm a bit wary of the film though. But I couldn't ignore Dracula vs Hitler!
DeleteLooks like you are making a lot of progress! I can never stick to a plan so I am quite impressed by your ability to do so.
ReplyDeleteI tend to stick to a plan for a while but it often unravels towards the end of a month!
DeleteI hope you get to Dracula vs Hitler. I'd love to hear about that one. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to fit this one in this month or it'll get bumped to November which is annoying!
DeleteGood luck with the Carrie Vaughn's and Martha Wells!
ReplyDeleteI just have one Carrie Vaughn to read so I need to fit that in tomorrow just to get the series done and start Black Spawn. Why do I keep calling that book by the wrong title? Need to edit that.
