forestofglorySo it's only November, but people have started posting their awards eligibility, which making me feel a bit panic-y about all the reading I haven't done. So I'm making a plan... not to get it all done, I'll never get it all done, but to get some of it done.
Novels:
Read Stranger by Rachel Manija Brown and Sherwood Smith, The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin and Ancillary Sword by Ann Leckie by the end of the year. All of which I have copies of. (Hopefully I will get my enough brain back for this -- I've had Ancillary Sword since it came out but somehow I've never felt focused enough to read it.)
Sometime in January look at SFF books published in 2014 on my to-read list and see if the library has them. If so put hold on said books.
Short Fiction:
Try to keep reading one short work every day.
I've committed to several anthologies: Long Hidden, which I am in the middle of; Kaleidoscope; Solaris Rising 3; and Upgraded. All of which I have bought, or in the case of Upgraded expect to get as kickstarer reward. I'm not going to commit to any more.
There are currently 7 works in my short fiction to-read bookmark folder, but I expect the list to grow.
Right so that's a lot, so I'm going with the plan trying to read one work a day, and stressing less. (Hopefully.)
Everything Else:
I'm just not going to worry about it.
