I’ve been pretty slammed this month — hey, when you’re still trying to work as much as you can to make up for being on strike for two weeks, and you’re still looking for other work, and your wife and kid head out of town for a week and you’ve got to take care of the dog solo when he’s still adjusting to life with us, things get WAY… BUSIER — but I still got a bit of reading in here and there.
Here’s how it shook out:
Read
The Athena Project – Brad Thor
Started and stopped
Ecko Rising – Danie Ware
The Sky Is Yours – Chandler Klang Smith
Reading
Galilee – Clive Barker
Fablehaven – Brandon Mull
Those of you who’ve known me for a while will probably be a bit thrown by multiple novels going at once. That’s not usually my thing.
I’ve had Galilee sitting on a shelf for years and didn’t have anything new ready at the library so opted to crack it open. Good start, and it’s reminding me how much I used to enjoy reading Barker’s stuff, but it’s long and is clearly going to be a slow burn, so it’ll take time for me to get through.
Meanwhile, it was no more than a day or two after I started Galilee that not one but two books showed up at the library for me. Because of course they did. And then I wanted to add another to that which I had been meaning to grab recently. So I figured I should put Galilee aside for now and focus on the time-sensitive stuff instead. I thought I may have read Fablehaven before but don’t recall what I’ve gotten through so far, so maybe not?
Looking forward to finishing both, and then of course more, in short order.
