Nyx Goldstone

Well, if I keep this up, I know I’ll at least make 50 books this year.

Books 35 and 36 were the 5th and 6th books in the Jack Sparrow books: The Age of Bronze and Silver. As much as I both do and don’t enjoy these books, I’m apparently destined to read them. I found Age of Bronze at a local Barnes & Nobel for a dollar new, and Silver used at Bookman for almost two dollars. In that order, even! Who am I to turn that away, huh? The series either is growing on me, or it’s getting better. The little notes when references to previous books are made still make me laugh a little too harshly, but they’re getting faster for me to get through. I read both books in two sittings.

My 37th book was Sarek. Yes, another Star Trek book. I’m thinking of changing my name to “Nyx No-I’m-Not-A-Trekkie Goldstone.” I keep getting ribbed by my friends for being so focused on the Vulcans. At least I’m not going stereotypical and going on about the Klingons, right? Of course, I’ve never done anything typical. Really… The Vulcans are far more fascinating to me than Klingons are. Though, I did geek out a bit while reading this and had to look Klingon words up to know what they were saying. I think I looked up 3 of them. I don’t remember now.

Speaking of geeking out… I confess. I picked up a new pet project when I read my first Star Trek book. While trying to figure out which books to read, I’ve noticed that not a single site has a complete list of books, nor what order they should be read in if you’re wanting to follow chronologically. I’m a big chronological person. I like to know histories and I like to understand references to previous events. I don’t plan on posting my progress until after I read a fair number of books, so it doesn’t look any stranger of a list then it already does. Yeah, that’s the other thing… So that I know exactly where it fits in the time line, the book won’t be added until I finish it. This is a long, long, LONG project in the works.

Go me, right? >.<
