Update on my reading progress

Last night I went through and made an update on each of the 11 (ELEVEN!) books on my “currently reading” shelf at Goodreads. This is my second attempt at an update (I kept having trouble with getting the HTML to do what I wanted last night), so hopefully it will work out neatly this time.

1. Blackout, by Mira Grant

   52% done
   last update: I so want to keep reading and find out what happens, but I need to got to bed and get some sleep. At halfway, I can’t finish tonight anyway. But I REALLY want to know what’s going to happen next.
2. The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome by Tony Attwood
   3% done
   last update: I’m still only on the first chapter. I need to read more, but I think I’m afraid to since if more and more resonates, it makes the likelihood that Marcus really does have some mild Aspergers higher and higher. I think he probably does, but I’m not quite ready to face it yet.
3. The Witness by Nora Roberts
   p. 249 of 496 (50%)
   last update: I read this far in a day and now haven’t picked it up in a week. That’s mostly because I’ve been reading other things I want to read more. I’ll finish it before it needs to go back to the library.
4. A Book Dragon, by Donn Kushner
   p. 153 of 197 (78%)
   last update: Marcus and I are about 3 chapters from the end. We will get there, we’re just not going particularly fast.
5. Fool’s Errand , by Robin Hobb
   15% done
   last update: I’m stuck with this one. I do want to read it and I will, but I just got stuck.
6. The Book of General Ignorance , by John Lloyd
   54% done
   last update: Slow progress as I read a bit here and there, but that’s what this kind of book is for.
7. Running Through Corridors, Volume 1: The 60s: Rob and Toby’s Marathon Watch of Doctor Who by Robert Shearman and Tony Hadoke

   p. 126 of 323 (39%)
   last update: Like the QI book, I’m just reading a bit here and there and will slowly get through it.
8. The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Family’s Century of Art and Loss by Edmund de Waal
   41% done

   last update: I’m stuck on this one too. So far, I haven’t found this second generation of owners as interesting as the first, which has kind of bogged me down. But I’m not giving up. I’ll get there.
9. Traitor’s Knot, by Janny Wurts

   p. 251 of 637 (39%)

   last update: I so want to read this, but I remain kind of scared of it (amazing books but they’re WORK) so I’ll get back to it when I’m ready.
10. Her Smoke Rose Up Forever, by James Tiptree Jr.

    p. 360 of 508 (71%)
    last update: This one, I really just need to get my butt into gear and pick it back up!
11. The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge
    p. 141 of 536 (26%)

    last update: This is one I want to get back to – hence it remaining on my “currently reading” shelf – but I’m in no hurry. I’ve read it enough times to remember it well enough that I can pick it up at any point and carry on reading.
