For the last month I have not reading anything, as I am still finishing an editing draft for one of my books. I expect I will finish the draft soon, and when I do I will start reading again. Honestly I needed the month-long break in reading for the sake of relaxing a bit. Anyway, what this means is that after my A Game of Thrones book review goes up I’m going to stop updates for a few weeks while I finish editing/start reading again.

 

What are you reading? Have any of you started reading anything good lately?

We’ve reached the halfway point for both the year and Mount Readmore 2017. I think I’m ready to make some announcements for my favorite books so far this year.

Overall The Library at Mount Char is my favorite book of the year so far.

My favorite ‘Kickass Female Protagonist’ book of the year (so far) is  With Blood Upon the Sand

My favorite WWI book is The Price of Glory

My favorite EPIC fantasy book so far this year is Words of Radiance

The Heartbreak award goes to Miranda and Caliban

The best Audiobook I’ve listened to so far this year is The Wind in the Willows

and finally the award for Technically Skilled Prose goes to The Tower at Stony Wood

 

In other news, I’m not reading anything presently. I’m letting my backlog of books go live one by one while I take time to write and edit instead. Unfortunately I can’t read and work on my own stories at the same time, so I have to take this time off. I hope to begin reading again in about a week. I must say that I’m enjoying taking so many weeks off of reading. What books have you enjoyed so far this year?

 

 

 

This week I am listening to the audiobook for Academ’s Fury

That’s it! Instead of reading I am focusing on editing a book so I can start sending it out to agents. So far this week I’ve written about 10,000 words. What are all of you up to?
