Reay Well, I guess the run of getting through plenty of books a month had to come to a halt at some point. Hopefully just a temporary delay. Nothing like actually… y’know… reading to slow down one’s reading rate, as the old saying goes. The audiobooks I’ve been diving into have been proving way more effective … Read more
I came across Amie McNee’s name not long ago, via boosted social media images of her inspirational quotes talking about being brave and bold and free with your art, whatever form that may take. I more recently heard that she had written this book and I put it on hold at the library ASAP. Shortly … Read more
Another stellar month. I got so far ahead of my needed Reading 50 Books This Year pace that I stopped a few that weren’t doing it for me, and even dared to get another physical book out to read. What? But Reay, you read so painfully slowly!I know, right? But I was that far ahead … Read more
For those not familiar with what a chaos symbol is, here’s a basic version of one: The idea of it is that, being chaos, it’s as likely to go in any direction as any other. I’m realizing that there are (I daresay increasingly frequent) times when it really feels like my brain is doing exactly … Read more
Eight books? Eight? Eight? I mean… come on. I know I spent an unusual amount of time with an earbud corked in this month, but that’s still kind of bananas. Though it does go to reassert that um, yeah, getting through 50 books in a year isn’t as big a challenge for myself as I … Read more
Since getting Radar, we’ve of course been out and about for walks way more often than we used to. We’ve been in this house for nearing two decades, and I’ve never been out walking two or three times a day — often before the sun is up, because why just be out in sub-zero temperatures … Read more
Definitely a slower pace this month than in January thanks to actually stepping away from books a bit and checking out some of the excellent TV shows being made these days and we’re paying for access to anyway (if you can, do check out The Night Agent, Prime Target, Mythic Quest, and Welcome To Wrexham) … Read more
I’d like you to cast your mind all the way back to… er… a month ago — was it only that recent? — when Trump started his second term as president and evidently decided that a wrecking ball made a handy tool to get some things changed. I won’t bother with a list of those … Read more
I’ve changed email service providers. It’s for reasons I won’t bother getting into here, and I didn’t do it lightly, but it was something I felt I had to do. I had expected that change to take some effort, but suffice to say, working to fully make the swap to the new service has been… … Read more
Wow. Well… shows what I can do when I set my mind on something and actually stick to it. At the end of my Top 10 books of last year post, I mentioned that I was setting a goal of reading (/listening to) 50 books in 2025. Gotta say, I’m off to a better start … Read more
