man, just PEEP that 2013-blog-style of title up there holy shit Couple of things to go over, actually, and probably the main one is that I did publish a new book this weekend. We ended up having a four-day weekend because ~snowstorm~ because ~the great state of North Dakota is making up for not really having winter last year~, and so I finished LIKE HELL which is a cute lil' novella about REVENGE, FRIENDSHIP, and KILLING YOUR MOM'S BOYFRIEND. It's 100 pages on kindle and I've been playing around with book sizes--if you've got the paperback of CARL & JIMMY , which I KNOW YOU DON'T UNLESS YOU'RE MY LITTLE SISTER, LIKE HELL will be roughly the same height. But yeah. I enjoy LIKE HELL; my pet name for it was 'kind of like the outsiders', which... it kind of is, I guess? It features teenagers who murder and then run away, but it does have a much different ending than The Outsiders. I also tend to loop this one in with my true crime-y ones, which......
end of the year bay-beeeeee
Well, it's been a while since I've actually written a blog post, because... hell if I know, I'm just not as structured as I used to be. Or I'm structured in different ways. I don't know. But it is just a couple days away from the end of 2021 so I figured I'd wrap it all up. In terms of what I did this year, the answer is actually quite a bit. In some weird twist of something, I read 333 books this year. And I've got a few days left, so I might hit 340 or something. This is my highest reading year to date, beating out my previous high of 240 in 2015. Now that I've looked that up I definitely want to hit 340 just so that I can be 100 higher than my last time. Uh, it's currently -20 outside and we got like three feet of snow over the weekend + also today so that's fun, and I've discovered another use for masks, it's called, I don't have a scarf and hey, this is actually better than a scarf when I have to walk to the Neighborhood Grocer...
