Where Personal and Professional Life Collide...

If I can get 4 more read in the next few months (damned unlikely, due to deadlines), I'll have managed, roughly, two books a month this year. Not close to my teenaged habits of 1-a-week, but better than I've been doing in recent years....

And I remembered the book I'd read that I forgot to write down! Conveniently enough, it's also out soon so you can go pre-order it, too! (and if you like steampunk-y adventure and slightly-damaged-but-competent characters, you should buy it.)

frustratingly, I know I read another book in there, and I remember pulling the title page from the ARC so I could remember to write it down later and...do I remember the title/where I put the page?  No I do not. It was a BEA-acquisition, that's all I remember...

I'm not sure if I should put client manuscripts on the list. On the one hand - they are books, and I did read them! And it explains why my published-book-reading was slow the past month. On the other hand... not published, titles likely to be changed, etc. And CLIENT MSS #1 and CLIENT MSS #2 seems kind of silly?

Okay, so we're starting a few days early, so sue me.
