Looking back at August’s list, I realize I only completed two paper books in August - Indexing and Central Station. I started Quiet but hadn't finished it before the end of the month. Everything else I read during the month was in ebook form. Notable among the reads are the 2nd novel set in the universe of K.D Spangler’s excellent webcomic “A Girl

I basically only read ebooks now.

I prefer paper, but I lack the space to have them.

To the extent that we currently have more books in our house than bookshelf space (at least not without double-shelving), I can sympathize. We are starting to run out of space to put bookcases, though with a bit of rearranging things we can probably squeeze a few more in. I can definitely cull a bunch of books if I put my mind to it.

I'd probably buy more ebooks if there were more things available (that I want to buy and read) that were non-DRM. Many of the things I have bought electronically are self-published.

I can see that, especially with the long stints overseas.

It has been a long time since I've read "A Girl And Her Fed". Not sure why I lost track of it.

I binge-read it after seanan_mcguire recommended it, then added it to my webcomic feeds.
