Another great month in reading! I managed to knock out seven books and a short story, including a new contender for Top 5 Book of the year. Which brings to my attention that it’s getting close to the time of year when I start pulling together my short list for end of year writing…
Next month is Sci-Fi Month, and while I don’t know if I have time to participate this year like I have in years past, I do unintentionally have a significant number of sci-fi books on my monthly TBR for November, so I’ll be participating in spirit! Hopefully I can pull together at least one post, it’s always a fun time to celebrate a genre I enjoy.
Great Series Read Update
This was almost a month without a lot of sequel reading, and then I ended up reading basically all of the DEAD DJINN UNIVERSE material in the space of a week, huzzah! Thanks to whatever intuition guided me, I read the novella THE HAUNTING OF TRAM CAR 015, then pulled A MASTER OF DJINN at random from my TBR jar, so I naturally made time for the founding short story, A DEAD DJINN IN CAIRO. Aside from another short story that I think I’m going to skip for now, I now declare this series complete (and I had a fantastic time completing it!).
Next month I’m hoping to get back on track with some backlist sequel reading. I’m hoping to FINALLY read THE FRACTURED DARK, as well as making time for book 2 in the POWDER MAGE books, THE CRIMSON CAMPAIGN.

I couldn’t believe it when I pulled Master of Djinn out of the jar, the TIMING!
