I'm getting off to a very slow start for 2012. I began George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones, but I've put aside all reading to write Galactic Empress (my young adult space adventure tale). I have the binder containing the "shitty first draft" handy at all times. I am either scribbling scenes or editing as I type the handwritten scenes on the computer. So my reading list for 2012 will likely be much shorter.

Wow that's an impressive list! I wish I had the discipline to write down all the book I've read. It would be so cool to know how many I've read. Good luck with your novel!!
I'm reading BLACKOUT,and i really enjoyed this story. I love history and the fact that time travel was available to these people. The story did start out alittle slow, but after everyone got blasted to the past, it got interesting. The book was a page turner for me and i look forward to reading the half of the book. Their situations are alittle perplexing. all the near misses will keep you reading. i dont want to spoil anything, but its worth a read if you like time travel stories.
