Sum Sum Summertime

While I am on "vacation," I intend to get as much writing done as possible. Getting as much writing done as possible involves, necessarily, getting as much reading done as possible, and making inroads into my substantial "to read" pile. Because I'm sure you're dying to know, I will write some micro reviews via Goodreads of some of the stuff I make it through.

Since I mainly use this blog for poetry and announcements about yours truly, I will henceforth put reviews and "stuff not about me": here. That url should even be compatible with peoples' blogrolls. Woo-hoo. I am losing my edge.
