Book Haul Updates

I continue to bury myself in piles of new reading

I haven’t written here in a while, not since moving to this new site. I have been reading a lot more lately and spending less time on my computer. Overall a good thing I think. I have been working on some writing, getting some work polished, and generally getting some ideas down.

The thing I’m excited about today though, is that in the last month more books have piled in (and more on the way!). I make that sound like a passive process, and I have to admit it is anything but. I know I am creating work for future me. I will have to sit down with each of these soon and read them.

On a positive note I am now only two (2) books behind in my challenge to read (at least) 36 books this year!
