January Pile, Online Events, and Utah Signings

January 5, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: News 4 Comments

To Read

I have two more review books to read: The Last Jedi and Pivot Point.  No more review books after that! I think I kind of like it that way for now.  Then I want to read Reached since I keep putting it off.  If I finish those three this month, I need to start a really long book so I can catch up with reviews on my blog!  Harry Potter Page to Screen is massive and I’ve had it for a year.  I might count it for my Dusty Bookshelf challenge.
