Four and a half months ahead of schedule, I have finished reading my 52 book goal...Really 54 because I had the time today.

Sort of. Three of the books are repeats, but they were 2-3 years ago and I read them (and appreciate them) much more a second time around. So I guess technically I still have more work to do.

Since my last blog:

Books

The Wolf On The Run The Wolf At War Childhood’s End SW HR Rising Storm SW HR A Test of Courage SW HR Race to Crashpoint Tower Island of the Blue Dolphins Rendezvous with Rama Band of Brothers The Magician’s Nephew Time for the Stars The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy The Horse And His Boy Vixen 03 (Clive Cussler, not erotica) Babylon’s Ashes Persepolis Rising Congo The Great Train Robbery Tiamat’s Wrath Prince Caspian Voyage of the Dawn Treader The Silver Chair The Last Battle

Favorite Book from this group:
Of the new books, possibly Rendezvous with Rama. The Expanse books are up there but I have read them before, so I'm not 100% counting them towards the goal.


Least Favorite Book from this group:
I did not like Chronicles of Narnia. I was aware of, but did not fully realize, how full of Christian imagery it was. It's not even subtle. It's just a flat out store brand version of the Bible with less violence and somehow more judgmental nonsense. And don't get me started on how they treated Susan as a character.

What a terrible ing children's book series.


Most anticipated future book:
My brain is fried. I have no idea. Possibly Starship Troopers. Or the His Dark Materials series. Or maybe Dune.

I just need something that is very, very unlike (or even the antithesis of) the Narnia books.


Least anticipated future book:
None right now except for maybe a Cussler book. I actually got a few "knockoff" Cussler adventure books for when I need something different and I might be more excited for those right now.

I don't know.

I'm hoping to get to 70 books now. Will focus more on bigger books moving forward I hope.


Other News:
Lots of fun in my personal life when it comes to the upcoming wedding. People who I thought were reasonable are refusing to attend for an incredibly stupid reason and they will likely be cut of from my life because of this. Some things just can't be forgiven or forgotten. More on that later if I feel like sharing.

School started up again. We'll see how that goes in a few weeks but already a handful of classes have been the epicenters of mini outbreaks of COVID. I doubt our district and crazy parents will care until someone dies unfortunately. And even then I have my doubts since these people clearly don't actually care about lives.

Can't think of anything else right now.
