As of this moment, Book-A-Day is two-thirds done, and I'm running almost a week ahead. Next month I hope to hit a lot more comics (as always this year) the back two-thirds of Jasper Fforde's YA trilogy, and the newish book by Michael Lewis. I might also have another post reviewing the first half-dozen volumes of a manga series and might even get into a fourteen-day stretch covering the Dungeon series, as it exists today in English.

Or maybe not: it's always difficult to predict what you'll want to read next.
