September 2015 Reading List

Books I read during the month of September — and hey, there’s actually a non-fiction book in there this time (one of my school books). Not sure why I’ve never read the Harry Bosch novels by Michael Connelly before now. There are 20+ and he’s been writing them since the early 90s. They’re the kind of books my Mom would … Read More

August 2015 Reading List

Not sure I’ll do this next year — while I kind of like to look back and see what I’ve read, I can’t help thinking about how much “stuff” I could have gotten done if I hadn’t read all those books… Eight of those books are rereads — I read them at some time during the past, Thanks to my … Read More

July 2015 Reading List

These are the books I finished reading in July, 2015. Honestly, I think there might have been one or two more, but I was trying to cut back on my reading to work on a new game and didn’t write everything down as soon as I finished reading it. Dragon City by Robin Hobb Dragon Blood by Robin Hobb Girl … Read More

June 2015 Reading List

I finished reading the following books in June, 2015. After rediscovering Wilbur Smith last month I followed up with a few more. I also found out how easy it is to order books from the UofA library system (from all over the state) and have them delivered to MatSu College (7 minutes from the house) so I started in on … Read More

May 2015 Reading List

I finished reading the following books in May, 2015. School was over by the first couple days of the month and I think I went on kind of a reading binge to celebrate. The Hard Luck Hank books were a fun(ny) sci-fi series and Birds of Prey reminded me why everybody in my family inhaled Wilbur Smith books as we … Read More

April 2015 Reading List

Here are the books I finished reading in April, 2015. While I was sick most of April, I vegged out on Netflix more than books, so it was a light month. I’m still really enjoying the Privateer Tales — they bring back memories of discovering Robert Heinlein when I was a kid. Fear the Survivors (Fear Saga 2) by Stephen … Read More

March Reading List

Here are the books I finished reading in March, 2015. I forgot to post this earlier, so I’ll wait a few days and then post the April list. I really recommend the ones by Robin Hobbs if you like fantasy, although Mariella likes fantasy and couldn’t get into them, so I’m not sure what’s wrong with her. Actually, I started … Read More

February Reading List

Following are the books I finished reading in February. The last couple days of February and the first couple days of March had me trying to finish what should have been a good book (tons of 5-star reviews on Amazon). I finally quit at just over halfway through and put my first “nastygram” type review on Amazon. March looks like … Read More

My First Algebra Project

Yesterday I took my final exam in Beginning Algebra, the first algebra class I’ve taken since I was… well, it’s the first algebra class I’ve ever taken. I had to do a class project that consisted of finding something we learned in class and show how it can be used in everyday life. Basically, it needs to answer the question, … Read More
