In which I vent a little
Jun. 28th, 2011 09:50 pm( Cut for ranting )
Yesterday, I apparently looked so worn out when I got home that Mum wouldn't let me go walking and insisted on making supper, even though it was my turn. Hmm. Hopefully today will be a little less draining so that I can get a decent bit of exercise in and have the energy to do supper. Then after supper it's Humira night, which means it's treat night! Yay :-)
I'm most of the way through Tortall, a collection of short stories by Tamora Pierce. Short stories collections can be a bit hit or miss, but so far it's been consistently pretty good. There are one or two stand-out pieces that I've thoroughly enjoyed and I'm now getting into the non-Tortall based stories. Hopefully they'll stand up as well as the Tortall stories.
I think the reason that my reading has slowed so much lately is that the fanfic I'm reading on my Kindle is way more appealing than the book I'm wading through on it and I can't absorb anthologies in one gulp, so I'm reading a story or two a day. Hopefully I'll get Tortall finished over the next couple of days so my book count for the month won't be too bad. Next month, I need to regain my trick of finding really wonderful books that I race through. I've got two new books to read, both hard covers by favourite authors, so hopefully they'll be the ones to get me out of my slow reading rut.
Then I'm contemplating whether to do a full Harry Potter re-read now (possibly trying to get one or two of the French ones read along-side) or wait until I can do the full re-read on my Kindle. Part of me wants to re-read because the final film comes out in two weeks, another part wants to wait. Oh, the hardship of these decisions ;-)
