State of the week

So I managed a solid three and a half books last week. Most of them in the fantasy genre. It's enough to not fall behind too quickly but not enough to actually stay on track let alone catch back up. The problem is that there is more to life than reading books. As much as I love them, sometimes I need a break.

Anyway, my substack this week:

1. Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett (I'm already half way through and he's riffing off "A Midsummer's Night Dream" in this one)
2. Power and the Glory by Graham Greene - Adult/classic (sheer stubbornness at this point)
3. Clariel by Garth Nix - adult/fantasy 
4. Goldenhand by Garth Nix - adult/fantasy (both of these Nix books because I have them out from the library and I'd like to finish the series up)
5. City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare - YA (last book that I have from the series)
6. Thrilling Tales edited by Michael Chabon - short stories (I'm reading some seriously long and dense books otherwise, maybe this will help break it up.
7. Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes - poetry (still working at it, poetry takes time to digest)

Much of this is getting dictated by finishing a couple of series. I'd really like to get them done and get the books back to their respective homes.
