Wow, look at me, three days in a row of posting! Don’t get used to it! As usual, I’m juggling between several different books, just like last week. I read a lot last month and don’t really expect to slow down any time soon since I’m also a judge for the SFINCS competition. WWW Wednesday is a nice way for me to recap some of what I’m reading in real-ish time.

WWW Wednesday was revived and hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. The idea is to answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses.

In summary, I plan to focus once again on ARCs this month as well as SFINCS reads.
