Fifty?

Doppleganger at 50 Books started her site when she decided to try to read 50 books in one year. When I first found her site, I thought, “Boy, that’s a lot of books.” Now here it is mid-November, and I’ve read 41 books this year. How ’bout that?

I think I’m within reach of 50 for 2006. If I start reading some “Sweet Valley High.”

Anyway. The books. Rather than listing them all here, I made a little Amazon store so you can see their covers and everything. Yee-haw, right?

Here ’tis.

And now I’m a cheater

You might have noticed the enormous jump on my NaNoWriMo ticker today. It’s because I cheated. It was either cheat or quit. And I know that cheaters never win, but neither do quitters. So, really, I wasn’t going to win either way. But this way I’ll at least get a nifty little badge that says I won. And that’s all that really matters.

But is it really cheating? You decide.

My characters are reciting Samuel Taylor Coleridge poems. They’re on a road trip, and that’s what everybody does on road trips. It was a perfectly natural progression. Right?
