FYI! The editor, TDF Pamela, is currently nomadic! In other words, she's in the process of moving cross-country, and therefore her address has changed and probably will change a couple more times in the next few months. If you would like to send a review copy, please email her first to make sure you have the most up to date address. Thanks!

Reader Burnout Averted!
Yes, those are my ridiculously pale legs.
I started a few books (Child of Fire by Harry Connolly, which I am enjoying; and I’m also in the middle of a re-read of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere, which I’m using for my not-a-thesis paper) but couldn’t keep up the reading. I read a few magazines, which is better than nothing, I suppose. I’ve been reading bits of Before the Fallout by Diana Preston, a history of the development of nuclear and atomic science from the discovery of radiation to the atomic bomb. Honestly, if I were better at math, I would seriously have gone into the sciences. I think they’re so fascinating. But I’ve mostly been reading that one before I fall asleep at night, and I haven’t been doing my usual sort of reading, where I zoom through a novel in a couple of days.
Thank goodness I managed to break that burnout cycle yesterday, when I plowed through Rachel Ward’s Numbers. Next Monday, The Discriminating Fangirl will be hosting a Numbers giveaway, and I wanted to be sure I had a review ready for you. I won’t say much about the book right now–look for the review on Monday, too!–but I can’t begin to tell you how good it felt to sit up in bed until midnight because I couldn’t stand to wait until morning to read the last few chapters.
I need to spend some time today working on my not-a-thesis paper, but I’m going to start Jennifer Estep’s Spider’s Bite this afternoon. Man, it feels good to read again.
The Discriminating Fangirl, who is more likely to answer to Pamela if you shout it at her, is the proud owner of an MA in English, focusing on children's/young adult literature and popular culture. Because of her ample free time thanks to being gainfully unemployed, she reads voraciously. She also loves geeky movies and tv shows, reads comic books as often as she can buy them, and when she's procrastinating, she enjoys playing video games. She can be contacted at t.d.fangirl @ gmail.com and followed on Twitter at the link below.
