Recent Updates and Currently Reading | April 22

If you didn't see my mini-update earlier in the week, we have completed the demolition of our old house. I was going to try to give a much better update today, but that was really the biggest hurdle.

I hate that I had to take a hiatus leading into summer because I have such a hard time reading in summer. I want to be outside doing all the things. I feel like I'm alone in this, though. I always hear phrases like "summer read" or "beach read", and it just sounds like an oxymoron to me. Maybe I should try to set up a reading spot outside.

Posted Last Week

Planting the Seeds of the Garden of Fiends | Guest Post by Mark Matthews - Garden of Fiends is an addiction themed anthology. Mark Matthews wrote a great post sharing his background with addiction and the origin of Garden of Fiends.

Currently Reading

I finished reading The Return by Joseph Helmreich last week. I will post my review for that this week. (I enjoyed it!)

Review Copies

Snared (Elemental Assassin #16) by Jennifer Estep - I know this series is very popular. Have you read any of it? I'm obviously not going to jump in at #16. (This year's theme seems to be "unsolicited sequels".) I'm curious about the series, though. I don't read very much urban fantasy, but I know there are a lot of fun books in the genre.

Current Distractions

We've been watching Orphan Black lately. I'm in season 2 right now, and I'm really liking it. The actress that plays most of the characters is really great at what she does. She looks like a girl I grew up with so it's freaking me out a little, but it's a really fun show.

So what about you? Let me know what you're reading (or watching) this week or leave me some links!
