My Reading and Listening – June 2010

It’s July, and that means it’s time to look back at June. In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m taking a little break in writing reviews and everything at the moment. Probably not the greatest thing to do with such a young blog, but I’m still trying to get my brain settled in a good schedule for posting updates and such.  ^_^; But I’m getting an idea of the kind of schedule my brain will let me go with, so I think I might start back up on reviews in the near future. I hope. (Probably not on everything, and probably a lot of minis, but still, back.)

Of course, even though I stopped reviewing, I didn’t stop reading and listening, so I do, in fact, have a list to put up for June that consists of more than just the single book I’ve reviewed since I put up my May roundup and June preview. ^_^;

To start off, the current situation: Still haven’t gotten anywhere on Belgarath the Sorcerer (never caught up on both podcasts and drama cds ^_^;; ). My Japanese book is Hanazono wo Tooku Hanarete by Suzuki Ami, which is the fifth book in the Hanafurirou series. I started that earlier today, but it shouldn’t go too slowly, because I’ve already listened to the drama cd version. (For the record, I’m actually translating this series over on my livejournal. I’m near the beginning of the second book, but it’s going slow for much the same reason my reviews are going slow. ^_^; ) My "main" book at the moment is The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie, which I’m reading for the Sword and Laser book club. I’m about 40% done with that, if I remember correctly. And finally, I’m also reading Danse Macabre by Laurell K. Hamilton… when I’m in the mood for urban fantasy and sex. ^_^;; I forget exactly how far I am – probably about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way done.

That said, 10 books for June. (Cold Fever almost made it, but I finished it on July 1st.) Not so good for the summer (for me), but I’ve been playing a lot of video games instead of reading. ^_^;
