Hi all, I’m taking over the weekly c/Books post this week to talk about what’s happening on the First of May.

But first things first, my update…

I’m finishing up Illumination by T. Kingfisher. I only found her within the last 2 years, but I’m loving all of her stuff.

On to Bingo. In 2 days, in the morning (US Central Time because that’s where I live), I’ll put up a post with details for Bingo. Our hope is to provide a some additional motivation or even gamification of reading over the next year. There are 25 categories that we’ve tried to craft to be flexible no matter what your chosen genre or category are. We’ll additionally have a post where you can find or post recommendations for each category. And throughout the year we’ll post check-ins for those who are participating.

Dresden, Misericordiae, and I are excited and hope you’ll join us.

I'm still slowly making my way through the second Gears of War book. They aren't exactly the pinnacle of literature, but I'm finding them better written than I was expecting. Karen Travis does a good job at fleshing out characters the games kind of sideline.

After I finish this one (whenever that will be) I'll likely try and start Hyperion again. For some reason I just haven't stuck with it

I remember thinking similarly about the old X-Wing Rogue Squadron books by Michael Stackpole. Sometimes we get really lucky with those add on properties.
