Location: Southeastern Pennsylvania		Woo-hoo! I've finished my first book in the Tie-In Fighter reading challenge. Elminster: The Making of a Mage by Ed Greenwood, a D&D novel in the Forgotten Realms setting. I liked it quite a bit. My thoughts are over in my review. I tell you what, June was a weird month. For the first time in forever, I couldn't focus on reading. My chattering monkey mind wouldn't rest. Some sort of midlife crisis perhaps, or general existential discontent, or something. I don't know. But Elminster seems to have snapped me out of it. I enjoy reading tie-in fiction; visiting familiar worlds (franchises) and familiar characters is (or should be; stupid monkey-mind) soothing and relaxing; they're easy reads, usually, fast and friendly and a tasty bit of fun in between weightier works. So this challenge is just right for me. I was going to try to be clever and have each book in my challenge be from a different franchise, but I don't think I'll be able to muster that up (actually, I'd have enough books in my library to do it, but I'm reluctant to pester the already busy Uber Users with requests to add Red Dwarf and Buffy and Robotech and so on books; they've already got so much to do). So it'll probably boil down to the various incarnations of Star Trek, Doctor Who, Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons.
