finishing a series
So, I'm not the biggest fantasy fan. There are certain fantasy series that I enjoy , but if it comes down to it, the only genre that I dislike more than I dislike fantasy is probably sci-fi. I don't know why; maybe it's because I really don't give a shit about worldbuilding and both fantasy and sci-fi have huge writing hard-ons for telling me a bunch of shit I don't really care about, but whatever it is: as a general rule, I don't like fantasy. One of the exceptions, for me, though, to the fantasy thing, is Cinda William Chima's Shattered Realms series. It's a spin-off of the Seven Realms series, which I did enjoy, but it hasn't ended up one of my all-time favorites, you know.

This is like... I mean, I'm still sticking to my book buying restrictions, so it's not going to really hurt my progress on the Book Wall Shrinkage, but, you know, it's hurting my progress on the Book Wall Shrinkage. So in March, after I finished War and Peace on like the first day of the month, I read nineteen books. That is a good number. That's a number I can be proud of. Anything less than ten is where I start to really question myself--and right now, while I'm near the end, I'm reading IT , which, yeah, is long, but I've read that book in four days before? It's like, taking me ten years this time. And I know--I've got more stuff going on now. I have a full-time job, I have a lot of writing stuff happening, and, you know, the ...
