Some thoughts
- My second review of PaperBack Swap went up a couple weeks ago — and discovered that the key to PBS’ making you happy is to go with the flow. You get books when you get ‘em.
- Enjoying getting back into the Book Blogger Hop meme. It’s been nice to get out of “review” mode and into “talk about books in general” mode.
Looking ahead
- Non-Fiction November is coming up next month — and I’ve already got my list of books. Anyone who wants to join in is welcome! It’s nothing super official, just a chance to enjoy some good non-fiction.
- Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise, Best Friend and I will be moving in December. We’ve found an apartment we like, and I’m hoping to get it all squared away so we can move closer to my work. So long, 45-minute commute!
How’s your reading going this year?
