State of the Reading:: PHYSICAL BOOKS


Sorry for going MIA folks, but the truth is, that's the nature of being chronically ill and chronically in pain. The good news? I'm back in books! Yesterday, I even felt well enough to go to the library. Of course, having access to an electric wheelchair now makes a big difference in my mobility... Wanna know what I got? The list and more after the jump.

Before I bore you with a long list of unread books, a couple of exciting newses!

One: I just found out Jo Walton is going to be coming to Borderlands in August. (I was there to purchase a physical copy of Among Others because I needed one. Badly.)

Two: I just got another library card! (I keep a collection.) This means... more eBooks!

Anyway. That's enough about that. On with the books!

  1. I was wondering how you were doing! It's all your fault I picked up Changeless this week, after your flailing on Habit...
