Location: Southeastern Pennsylvania		Hey, Badseedgirl, I'll admit I don't follow the nominations and awards all that closely, so I'm curious: what was "last year's Hugo disaster"?

Also, I've never listened to an audiobook. What do you like about them and when do you listen to them? I've been curious about them, but I have a pre-conceived notion that I wouldn't fully enjoy the experience. I've been reading since before kindergarten, so about 40 years now, and because of that lifelong habit of actively engaging with a book, listening to an audiobook seems like it would be too...I don't know...passive for me. I don't know anyone else who listens to audiobooks either, so I'm just kind of curious as to what you think of them.

I've only read one Butcher novel, the first of the Dresden books, and I liked it quite a bit. I'm intrigued by the idea of crystal-powered airships; perhaps I'll give The Aeronaut's Windlass a try.

As far as my reading challenge, I'm re-reading Neuromancer for the first time since the 1980s. I didn't have much memory of it, other than that I loved it; I'm still loving it.
