Official new book hiatus

[annathepiper]

I am as of this post on official No Buying New Books hiatus through the end of August. This includes buying replacement electronic copies of stuff I have previously owned in print.

Basically, there are two reasons for this. One is that my beloved solarbird and I will be a bit short on rent in the month of August, as we’re doing a shuffle of student tenants prior to the new school year. The other is that I do have nearly 600 things on the To Read shelf (both the physical one and the virtual one), so it ain’t like I’m lacking for things to read!

So from now until the tail end of August I will be trying to get caught up on many of these tasty, tasty things I’m behind on reading. This includes the new naominovik, katatomic‘s last before her next one drops, some blackaire, the two books of mizkit‘s I’m behind on, reading the three books I’ve got by my fellow Telgar Weyr alum Deby Fredericks, and a jaunt through my accumulated works by desperance. Time permitting, I will also be eying rachelcaine and jpsorrow!

Please however do feel free to use this post as a means to recommend to me forthcoming new books I should be getting as soon as the hiatus lifts! (And yes, I’m already intending to buy Kit’s Truthseeker as soon as I can! :D )

Aren't you lucky TRUTHSEEKER comes out August 31! You can make it your first post-hiatus purchase! :)

Libraries?

SPL has some sort of e-book option and maybe the King County system does, too. I almost never buy books.

Oh, if there was something I didn't actually own that I absolutely wanted to read before September, I'd totally check it out from the library. But there isn't, and I've got several hundred things I already own anyway that I haven't read yet. But thanks! :)

(KCLS does have an ebook option, but as near as I can tell it doesn't include nook-friendly or iPhone-friendly formats.)

There's only so much awesome I can cram into one month of reading. ;)
