Finishing up the High Summer Read-A-Thon hosted by The True Book Addict.
I pretty much spent the whole week re-reading Game of Thrones. I read the ASOIAF series a couple/few years ago, but since the TV series has gotten huge I have been watching when I can (do not have HBO; I buy the boxsets). However, there are so many differences, it gets a bit confusing, especially when trying to discuss it with non-reader fans. So, I am reading each book, then watching its matching season. By the time I finish, I may be able to read the new one ;)
I also made 12% headway on a friend’s book that I have on the Kindle. I feel a bit bad about this one because I have had it for awhile and it gets great reviews, but I am not a huge fan of suspense and I only read the Kindle when I am away from my books. (It basically lives in my purse for reading emergencies:) So, I am really reading it slowly, but determined to finish! Especially since she has just signed a deal for 2 more books!
In non-fiction, I started The Planets by Dava Sobel which I have been wanting to get in to for awhile. I haven’t gotten far, but recommend it for bookworms who do/want to love science. She really turns non-fiction into a narrative so well, it’s easier to read than most science books.
And in audio, the kids and I finished The Goblet of Fire and moved on to Order of the Phoenix. Unfortunately, we cannot find the cassette version of books 6 & 7. Usually, they want to go right back to #1, but I need variety.
Looking forward to the FrightFall Read-A-Thon starting in September! If you like to read anyway and want a chance to chat and win prizes, check out http://seasonsreading.blogspot.com/
