I made some progress on my first draft this week – not as much as I’d have liked, but it’s progress. Finished The City of Mirrors (The Passage #3) by Justin Cronin and it’s hard to express how fantastic and bittersweet that book was. The review will be posted this week. My son decided to read the series, so I’m anxious to see what he thinks.
I also finished Insignia by S.J. Kincaid and enjoyed the hell out of this book. This author totally nails the early teen 
male – language, attitude, trash talk, awkwardness with girls – I snorted out loud several times. The story was fast-paced and grabbed me immediately and I loved Tom’s (MC) voice. I plan to continue reading this series. I’d recommend it especially to teen gamers, both male and female as there are also some strong female characters.

Congratulations on avoiding buying books! That takes willpower! 🙂 My goal is solely to keep my TBR under 150. I’m doing okay on that(138), but I think it’s because I get books and forget to add them to the list. >.> Whoops. Sci-Fi & Scary Reviews

Yep – I’ve been excited to mark one off, then realize I never added it. Two weeks of not buying books and holding!

What’s your goal? Two months? Or not allowing yourself to buy any until you get it down to a certain point?

Haven’t set a goal – I know myself and won’t be able to resist if it’s something I really want. At least I’m aware of my limits!

Funny thing, John – gold stars have never really inspired me – chocolate maybe? Just a suggestion.
