This was first time voting but the first thing I checked was if I could find them and how much they cost. Found both... next month, Romance should be interesting, first time for everything I guess!

I have read the first two chapters of Black Rain. I will read it relatively slowly, one chapter in each reading, 0-2 readings/day.

I must admit, the Translation Notes by John Bester has piqued my interest and calmed my fears about the story being all doom & gloom.

No, it's not a doom and gloom story! Or rather, I guess the story is pretty sad, but not written in a dark way. Granted I'm only 30-something pages into it, but it's very nice so far!

Extra family members have just left the house, and my young ones are playing outside together, so I'm going to try and sneak in the first chapter or two, now.

Currently reading two other books, but I picked up the e-book version of Black Rain from Amazon. It'll replace a book on my 2012 reading list which is a bonus for me. Not sure when I'll start it, maybe near the third week of January.
