You'll notice that I've dropped quite a few books from the actual currently reading list. That's because a good number of the books have just been put on pause for the time being. The Orilium mini winter readathon is this month, and as I know myself and how long it takes me to read a book, especially with my work schedule, instead of taking the allotted time (9-18 December), I'm actually using the entire month for the challenge. There are five books I would need to get through, then ten more "bonus" books that I can add. I'm looking at definitely six. The first five, then Aurin needs a bone-cat. So..yeah....here are the books I'm aiming for in December:

  • Jade Fire Gold by June C.L. Tan
  • The Shadows by Alex North
  • Cujo by Stephen King
  • Upgrade by Blake Crouch 
  • The Piper by Lynn Hightower
  • In A Book Club Far Away by Tif Marcelo
(bonus) 
  • At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft
  • The Noel Letters by Richard Paul Evans
  • The Midnight Queen by Sylvia Izzo Hunter
  • Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw
  • The Silence that Binds Us by Joanna Ho
  • We Seek No King by T. Thorn Coyle
  • Artemis by Andy Weir
  • Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby
  • Nightbooks by J.A. White
Not a terrible list all things told. I just highly doubt I will clear fifteen books in December with all the other things that still need to be done (holiday shopping, birthdays, dance recitals, actual holidays), so as long as I get the top six done, I'll be happy with that. Today (02 December) I'm working on Jade Fire Gold by June C.L. Tan. The character art reminded me a lot of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, which I have read the first two volumes of and intend to get however many are going to be released.
