1st Travel Reading
I'm home! The flight was only about an hour and a half late, and the drive took only a little longer than usual. The roads are slick, and our driveway is icy. I'm glad to be home!
When I left for this first 2.5 week travel swing (Memphis to Nashville to Atlanta, to Charlotte to Richmond), I started my new effort to list what books I was bringing with me intending to read. Here's what I brought to read and listen to, and what I actually accomplished:
1. The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMasters Bujold. (The January book for calico_reaction's online club)
2. True Grit by Charles Portis
3. A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick.
(Either #2 or #3 will be chosen as our next Office Book Club selection, while I'm gone, so I'm bringing both)
4. The North Star Serial Part I by Bryan Thomas Schmidt (I've been promising him I would read it)
5. The Shape of Water, an Inspector Montalbano Mystery, by Andrea Camilleri (been promising Dave I would read this!)
6. A Charmed Life: Growing up in Macbeth's Castle, by Liza Campbell (next choice in my TBR Challenge)
and of course
7. The Way of The Wizard, edited by John Joseph Adams (because I want to finish it soon, dang it!)
So that's a fantasy, a western, a literary novel, a science fiction, a mystery, a memoir and a short story collection. I'll also be bringing some issues of one story magazine with me since I'm behind on that.
For listening, I'm bringing:
1. Small Favor by Jim Butcher, read by James Marsters (I'm halfway through it)
2. Peter and Max: A Fables novel, by Bill Willingham, read by Wil Wheaton
3. Turn Coat by Jim Butcher, read by James Marsters
I'm about halfway through listening to Turn Coat, and I started reading A Reliable Wife on the flight home today.
