So, since the first two days of classes are over, I decided it was time for a summer roundup. Over the summer, I kept a list on the "Extended Info" box on Facebook of books I've read, movies I saw in theaters, and places I'd been. I may have missed a couple of items, but it's a pretty good summary of my summer. Since I'm going to remove those items from Facebook soon, I thought I'd post them here.


Books I read over the summer:
  • Princess Academy by Shannon Hale;
  • Legacy by Lois McMaster Bujold;
  • The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory;
  • Miles, Mystery, and Mayhem by Bujold;
  • The Curse of Chalion by Bujold;
  • Passage by Bujold;
  • "Borders of Infinity" by Bujold;
  • Brothers in Arms by Bujold;
  • Mirror Dance by Bujold;
  • Memory by Bujold;
  • Komarr by Bujold;
  • A Civil Campaign by Bujold;
  • "Winterfair Gifts" by Bujold;
  • Ever by Gail Carson Levine;
  • DragonFire by Donita K. Paul;
  • The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis (re-read);
  • Diplomatic Immunity by Bujold;
  • Cordelia's Honor by Bujold;
  • Princess Ben by Catherine Murdock;
  • Once a Princess by Sherwood Smith;
  • Several stories for the Coyote Wild August '08 edition;
  • The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett;
  • Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones;
  • Twice a Prince by Smith;
  • Saffy's Angel by Hilary McKay;
  • Indigo's Star by McKay;
  • Permanent Rose by McKay;
  • Caddy Ever After by McKay;
  • "Rule of Engagement" by Smith;
  • Magic or Madness by Justine Larbalestier;
  • Magic Lessons by Larbalestier;
  • Magic's Child by Larbalestier;
  • Mansfield Park by Jane Austen.
As you can tell, I discovered Lois McMaster Bujold at the end of last semester, and loved her books so much that I read most of the rest of them this summer. In fact, most of what I read were new reads this summer, though I re-read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe a couple of times because it was our theme for the summer school we ran in Morocco.


Movies watched in theaters this summer:
  • Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull;
  • The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian;
  • Made of Honor;
  • Get Smart;
  • What Happens in Vegas;
  • The Dark Knight;
  • Mama Mia!

Places I went to this summer:
  • Orange County;
  • Hollywood;
  • Forest Home (Lakeview and Adventure Mountain);
  • Morocco (Casablanca and Fes);
  • New York;
  • Boston;
  • Montreal;
  • Spain (Madrid and Cazorla, mostly)

Quite a full summer!
