Sci-fi Summer Read-a-thon Update Day 1

The Sci-Fi Summer Read-a-thon is hosted by Michelle @ Seasons of Reading. Here are the details: Read-a-Thon dates: Wednesday, June 1 at 12:00am CST until Tuesday, June 7 at 11:59pm CST (adjust your time zone accordingly). I wanted to try out a different day configuration this time. Since Sci-Fi is a very specific genre, this will be strictly reading science fiction during the event. However, since fantasy is so closely related to science fiction, if you feel more comfortable reading fantasy, that is also fine. To check in on Twitter, we'll use hashtag #SciFiSummerJune As usual, you do not have to have a blog to participate...feel free to link up and check in from Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, etc. These days, it seems most of our activity goes on in our Facebook group which I love. The interaction in our group is fabulous! Day 1 Update: Books finished: The Day of the Dragonking by Terry Irving (started before the read-a-thon) Books started: The Man in the High Castle by Philip...
