On Reading

Just as it has been tradition for readers, at the end of the year, to celebrate on social media the number of books they read or the ones they really liked, it’s also been a tradition for a horde of “skeptics” to slither out of the slimiest corners of the web to call them liars.

I'm having writing issues with my novel, How To Serve Gamers...
The chapter I just finished ends with my protagonist being rescued from a hit and run on the street- and the love interest Prince Devin saved her life. After a pause, she asks where he's from, but it's rhetorical, he's from her video game.
What should happen next???

Okay. So this is what I'm about to start #Reading. I watched the BBC/AMC show last year ( #TheTerror ) and for the most part absolutely loved it.

This is the book the show is based on. I've heard mostly good things about it, although many of the complaints of the show remain here (Tuunbaq).

Still, I'm excited to see where this goes.

Book 5 of my #2023reads was Trustee From The Toolroom by Nevil Shute. A wonderful book that takes you on a journey through the mid Pacific. Heartwarming tale if you suspend belief.
