2/05/25 - Continued Gleanings

 Hello feasyheads,

Today was a great day for reading! I made sizable progress in Gleanings. It consists of about thirteen short stories from the Scythe universe. I really lie these and if you finished the series, I highly recommend reading it as it gives you perspective on life for various types of people living in the 'post-mortal' world. Different types of scythes, common people, 'unsavories,' you name it. Since I've been reading shorter books recently, this has been a nice change of pace, as Gleanings is pretty long. 

I hope to finish the book tomorrow. That's probably going to happen, but now I'll be stuck once again looking for a new series.

This is Wally logging in later today, with great news! The book Red Rising, which I have wanted to read for a long time, has become available! And three weeks earlier than expected, no less! Red Rising is a series, and I hope to at least be temporarily satisfied with my reading list for a week or two. On Goodreads, I've started a reading challenge for this year. Forty books. I know it's possible, because I've done 33 in four months. 

Although shooting for.a number isn't the best idea, as reading a few thick books is sometimes better than many thinner books, it's good to have a goal to ensure that you feel obligated to read. After all, reading is a very rewarding hobby.

If you're looking to go into it, I'd highly recommend it. But at first, don't set too many goals. Just start a series or standalone, go to the next one, and you'll have racked up a pretty formidable 'read' list in no time!

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night/3:00 AM,

Uncle Wally
