Weekend reads and countdown to busy...

June is always a bananas month for me, as I have a huuuuuge week-long work conference that pretty much takes up all my time and mental energy. Plus it's my birthday month, and my wife's summer jobs all start. So reading sadly doesn't happen as much as I'd like, le sigh. Still, I'm getting reading in where I can, and I just finished N.K. Jemisin's The Fifth Season , which is so good it is almost unbearable. Can't wait to squee about it. I just started Mark Beauregard's The Whale , which is about Melville and Hawthorne's passionate friendship, and it's pretty much the novel I've always wanted to write. It's good, so I'm especially jealous. What are you reading this weekend?
