Review Recap For March 13-20, 2017
I've read fifteen books so far in 2017 (this includes chapter books read aloud to the Kiddo). I'm ahead of pace on my goal of 55 for the year.
A couple of the above books are in this week's set of reviews.
On Goodreads
The Case of the Cursed Dodo: A hardboiled animal detective story by Jake G. Panda.
On Comic A Day
Leave It To Chance #1: The first issue of the great urban fantasy series by James Robinson and Paul Smith from Image's Homage Comics imprint.
X-Men #1: Free Comic Book Day 2008: An excellent example of how to do a good story that is accessible to new readers for a series with as complex a continuity as Marvel's X-Men.
Heavenly Bride Book One: A supernatural romance by Katrina Joyner.
Also This Week
Pi Day was also Giving Day at my Alma Mater, Cornell University. I chose to support undergraduate scholarships in the College of Arts and Sciences. Donations are still being accepted.
Friday and Saturday was the SaiMUN Model United Nations conference here in Ho Chi Minh City, which my students attended (and I helped to chaperone). I posted a set of pictures here.
Upcoming
We leave for a week in Hanoi, Halong Bay, and Sapa, Vietnam on August 2.
Camp Nanowrimo will be happening in April, and I'll be working on putting together a second draft of the novel I wrote in November 2016.
I have plans to do some last bits of sightseeing around Ho Chi Minh City in the time between our Spring Break and the end of the school year.
We'll also be starting to pack up for our move to China. We depart for the USA on June 16, and we'll be heading to China around the end of July. We're still figuring out our plans for our time in the US. We have a wedding to attend in Maryland, and some possible time we'll be spending in the New York City area, in addition to our usual haunts in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I'm also looking at a trip to Maine with the Kiddo, which may include the Port Con Maine convention.
