CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

Being sick for pretty much all of June was not fun, but it did mean that I got a fair amount of reading done. Another of my favourite authors - and a book I remember ordering through book club when I was still in junior high. My, how the years have flown.

I did manage a little downtime, and got some recreational reading done. I've read both these before, and I'll read them again.

Seriously, it's amazing what you can read if you take five minutes here or there, read a page, read a chapter. Here's what got read this month... okay, to be fair, I did start the Phelan towards the end of February, but he's in good company.

In between, the writing and editing and publishing madness, I actually managed to finish reading another two Alan Dean Foster novels. Now I just have to work out where to find the rest. Novels are as follows:

As things started to ease up in November, I found some time to read. The first book was for research, and it proved an interesting way of looking at how mythical creatures might have their roots in historical life, and what sorts of fears they might have tapped in the creation and continuation. The second book is by one of my favourite authors, Alan Dean Foster.

Yeah, I know... it's a bit delayed. I only managed to read one book in October this year:

Reading got done. After Laurell K. Hamilton, I opted for a change of pace and dipped into Anne McCaffrey’s Crystal Singer series, and Tanya Huff’s Blood series.

I'm still reading my way through my Laurell K. Hamilton collection. Here are the novels I covered this month - bear in mind I've been sick and I had no tutorials to attend, so there was a bit more reading time than usual. I don't think August is going to see quite so much:

So, June was university holidays, so there was a little bit more time for everything, including reading. I'm still reading through my Laurell K. Hamilton collection. Laurell K. Hamilton is a mistress of dark paranormal urban fantasy, another genre I enjoy reading. Here's what I read this month. You can find out more about LAURELL K. HAMILTON at the following sites: http://www.laurellkhamilton.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurell_K._Hamilton http://www.randomhouse.com/features/lkhamilton/

Here are the novels I managed to read in May. I wanted a change of pace after Harry Harrison, so I went from other worlds to alternate worlds. Laurell K. Hamilton is a mistress of dark paranormal urban fantasy and another of my favourite authors. She had me reading long after I'd gone to bed. You can find out more about LAURELL K.

Yeah, it's a little late. Don't ask. Here are the books I read in April this year. If you've seen them featured before, it's because I enjoy them so much I just have to keep going back to them. And if they seem a little diverse, don't worry, that's just me. I enjoyed these tales by Harry Harrison , an early master of science fiction.

There wasn't a lot of reading in March 2013 - at least, not of the 'just-for-enjoyment' kind - but I did manage to get through the following two books. Wonderful stories from authors I enjoy. Check them out: Photograph of Zoe's Tale by John Scalzi Photograph of Ice Station by Matthew Reilly

I did get some books read this month - mostly before I went to sleep - but not as many as usual. Here they are:

Here are the books I've managed to read this month. Two that will become classics - if they haven't already -  and two that are already classics. Give them a whirl!

Here are the books I've read this month. It's a bit of an eclectic collection but variety is the spice of life, right?
