In the beginning of 2023 I asked people to suggest books for me. I wrote them down and put them in a jar so when I wasn’t sure what to read next I could just pull one out and that would be the next one.
Gideon the Ninth was suggested by at least 3 people and I’ve been giving up my first-in-line spot at the library for at least six months. This time, I figured it was time.
It’s been a while since we’ve done some nonfiction pleasure reading.
The last book in the Atlas trilogy. Will the Atlas six be able to save the world?
I’m still reading The Spy and I but I saw this on Audible. It’s narrated by WIl Wheaton and so far it’s delightful.
Since last summer, I have been having trouble starting things. This happened with books. It happened with music. It happened with TV shows. I ended up rewatching and relistening to the same things. My spotify wrapped podcast list is a monument to the harrowing amount of minutes of true crime and politics adjacent series’ with back catalogues I binged in the back half of the year.
I was hoping, when I started the new year by completing a book in a day that things were turning around. But since then, I’ve checked three things out of the library that expired before I made progress in them.
When the last of them expired, I looked at my waiting list queue and I made a decision. I’m only going to check out one thing at a time and I’m going to try and make a habit of listening to audiobooks when I cook. So, we’ll see if that is any help to getting me out of this slump.
I got this as an ARC from work. Let’s just say, It had me at ” She’s code-blooded”
New Year New Books. With that in mind I have set my Goodreads reading challenge to 20 books. I read 35 last year but I do most of my reading on my commute to work but since I work more from home lately I don’t think I’ll be doing as much reading this year. I wasn’t sure if I was going to read this one from Cassandra Clare but it was on sale. It’s the first in a new series not based in the Shadowhunter world so I guess I’ll give it a go.
Let’s start this year off on the right foot with a new book
