Well, it is January 30 and I’m just about to finish reading my second novel of the month. So I’m getting a slow start. I have gone back to Aikido practice on Monday nights and Saturday mornings. That doesn’t really conflict much with reading time, but it has been a huge use of energy, so I’ve been reading less every day. A tradeoff, for now. I’ll get my wind. I just decided I can’t be a fat bookworm – not good for me. I need to get back to practice, so I have.
Honestly, having the first book of the year (the World of Null-A) suck was not a great start. Such a terrible novel on every level. And yet I tortured myself by plodding through it. Rough. I will not make the mistake again of sinking time, energy, and inertia into a horrible book. Anyhooo…about to finish Dumarest 23. Fun SF adventure novel.
