On my shelf of weird, there are several books by (or about) H. P. Lovecraft. One of my favorites is a silver-edged affair by Barnes and Noble (I also have its gilt cousin, a Sherlock compilation), but do you know, I haven't read him all that much. I have an Excel list of all the stories I own of his (96), but I haven't read even a dozen yet. That's going to change.
Now, I don't do well with deadlines. The minute I start calculating minutes or days, it never fails: the cheerleader effect of such challenges turns in its pom-poms, usually by the next day ("There's your deadline for ya!").
That just means I have to come at this via a weird angle.
I'm not only going to read and review his stories one at a time, but I have to be inspired be each and every one.
That is not to say I'm going to write 96 stories (numbers, remember; my cheerleader hates 'em); some might be combined into one, and others might be combined with whatever other challenges I have going on. But it's gonna get done, and we'll see how long we can keep my pom-poms going this time.

Am-Reading Book List (through Goodreads)
While I am working on updating this blog, I'll display a list of my am-reading list. The ones labeled "giveaways" are free books I received through the Goodread's Giveaway program.
