Trip and a Challenge and Geeks!

Interested little book full of useless information… just what I love. Where else can you learn to say “Where is the bathroom” in 12 languages?  Or  6 great moments in pre-1980 Kung Fu movies (of which I have seen 2)?  How about Band Trivia from America’s Top Universities?  Must have for anyone wanting to add to their ridiculous knowledge basis.  And just for good measure: 5 Latin phrases to shout while heading into battle.  Per aspera ad astra!  (Debuting as my own personal Latin motto) State of the list:

• Bespelling Jane — Mary Balogh, Colleen Cleason, Susan Krinard, and Janet Mullany
• Holidays are Hell —Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, Marjorie M. Liu, and Vicki Petersson
• The New Dead — edited by Christopher Golden
• This Christmas —Jennifer Coburn and Liz Ireland
• Dashing Through the Mall — Sherryl Woods, Darlene Gardner, and Holly Jacobs (started yesterday)
• The Geeks’ Guide to World Domination — Garth Sundem
• The Lightkeeper’s Daughter — Colleen Coble (going to not read; wait until Jan. 1 to include in Historical Fiction Reading Challenge)
• Rogue Angel: Destiny — Alex Archer
• ArchEnemy — Frank Beddor (going to not read; wait until Jan. 1 to include in Fantasy Reading Challenge)

One more trip and a challenge update to go before it’s back to normal. Time to get started on all those reading challenges I signed up for.
