Nothing has happened to my novel in years, if I'm being honest. Back in February, I had a new spiral-bound copy made at Office Depot, and I haven't cracked the thing yet, despite carting it to my parents' house, the cabin, Rhode Island, Florida, and so on. One of my summer goals this year is to query agencies again, even though I'm quite aware things aren't really great in the publishing world. I started a blog to honestly document my progress, and you can see my first post up here: http://adamanttofinishthisbook.blogspot.com/.

In other news, I'm in a summer reading frenzy. According to my weRead on Facebook, I've read the following novels since, mm, around March:

• The Wizard Heir by Cinda Williams Chima (YA)
• The Somnabulist by Jonathan Barnes (Fantasy)
• A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly (YA)
• Dirt Music by Tim Winton (Fiction)
• My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult (Fiction)

Currently I'm reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (YA, my first of his) and am LOVING it. I love when TV stops their regular shows, because I read so much more. I can't wait to finish this book and move on to the next one!
