NaNoWriMo Day 12: Time for a Break?

We're almost two weeks into this month of writing, and I don't know about you, but I am exhausted. I met my word count goal yesterday—barely. Which means, I don't have a lot of wiggle room.

I plan to carve out some extra words over the next few days, though, because I want to take time this weekend to read. I need the break.

Besides, everyone knows that reading is the best way to get better at writing. But I also know my time is crunched right now. Which is why I'm going to try and select a book that is similar to my work in progress—something that will inspire me. That way, I'm not only reading for pleasure, but I'm also reading for research. 

The problem is, I haven't spent nearly as much time in my local book store or library lately, and I have no idea what is even out right now. So today after school, I'm going to take a look and see what I can find. Maybe just being with all of those books will be enough inspiration.

Do you have any recommendations?

Gotta jet! Let's get this reading list going—because if I'm lucky, I'll be able to spend most of December getting through them. And if you're looking for some quick reads, why not check out the Superman Duffy series of graphic novels published by the Alberta Canola Producers' Commission? You can get them here.
