Reading goal = Writer Blogger novels

One of my goals for a while now has been to read as many of my blogger writer friends' books as I can. Sometimes these authors are people I don't really know but am still only aware of because of the writer blogger community I'm a part of. But often they're people I do consider to be friends.

I did make quite a bit of progress this year, with reading the following books:

• Breakthrough - Stephen Tremp
• That Fatal Kiss - Mina Lobo
• Healing Summer - Elizabeth Seckman
• Reborn - Cherie Reich
• CassaStar - Alex J. Cavanaugh
• CassaFire - Alex J. Cavanaugh
• CassaStorm - Alex J. Cavanaugh
• Motocross Me - Cheyanne Young
• Three Daves - Nicki Elson
• The Trouble With Flying - Rachel Morgan
• The Shadows Trilogy - Jolene Perry
• Not Your Fault - Cheyanne Young
• Nobody Knows - Kyra Lennon
• Dragonfly - Leigh Talbot Moore
• Strength - Carrie Butler

And I'm currently reading:

• The Summer I Found You - Jolene Perry

Obviously I still have heaps of books yet to read, that you guys have written. But I'm quite happy with the progress I made this year.

A goal in the new year is to use some of my "leftover at the end of pay period" dollars & cents to buy copies of your books that I haven't bought yet. But that will probably be a slow, gradual process. For now, I've got plenty of your books still on my Kindle not yet read. And I also have at least one or two print copies on my bookshelves to read, too. Wheeee!

National Wormhole Day(s) Bloghop - the gig(s) I wish I'd seen

Yesterday and today, Laura Eno, Stephen Tremp and Luanne Smith have been/are hosting the National Wormhole Day Bloghop, which celebrates Albert Einstein's birthday (March 14th). The requirements of the hop are this:

...Take a moment to tell the world a few moments, and in 100 words more or less, what you would do if you had a two-way ticket to traverse a wormhole. This is my way of getting people excited about all the amazing stuff on the horizon that we as a race are on the cusp of discovering!

You know, I'm not all that fussed about time travel or "doing things over", or changing the course of history. So I think what I would most love to do would be to go back in time to one of the earliest Smashing Pumpkins concerts. And by earliest I mean pre-Gish (which was their debut album), when they were playing all those old groovy songs like "There it Goes", "My Eternity". I'd love to see a show where they played "Love (old)" and "Psychodelic", too, though I'm not sure they ever actually played those ones live. But really the show I'd love to see is the one where they played "Alabaster". Yes, please.
