Sometimes it’s important to put our own troubles in perspective.

In the meantime, I’ll keep reading whatever makes sense in the moment.

I find during this time that I am unable to focus on reading anything unless the book does most of the work for me or it’s a book I really want to read. I’ve decided to pause my reading challenge for a while and will only get back to it when the time feels right.

In the month of September I read 11 books. Only 2 of those were for my reading challenge. Some of you are aware that we recently learned that my father has cancer and is now on palliative care. I am on leave from work while I help him navigate this new reality.

The better the book, the more annoyed I get at these minor copy editing errors. This one is particularly grating.

It’s out now in Canada. It’s sitting waiting for me to finish my current read (End Times Fascism). Can’t wait to dive in.

You got me thinking. I haven’t been consistent with logging my reading every day, but I know I haven’t missed a day since I read a short story a day for the month of November (starting on the 3rd and catching up) in 2022. According to an online days calculator that’s 1424 days! Such a great habit.

Give me your favourite audiobook recommendations. Want to get some lined up in my queue. Looking for books to get lost in and take my mind off life things at the moment. Horror and sf recs great but all recs welcome.

How am I supposed to get up now to make a second coffee? Guess I have no choice but to sit here and read a little longer.

A little light reading to start the day. Been waiting to dive into this.

Spending a lot of time sitting in a hospital room with my father and can’t focus on anything that requires even a little effort. Looking for a book that will do a lot of the work for me. Hoping one of these will do the trick. Any other suggestions?

Canada literally has two Conservative parties right now. Conservatives and the extra weird Conservatives. Democracy!

National Post headline (on Yahoo?? For some reason??) by Tristin Hopper (who is a freak!) reads:

"Mark Carney's support surge coming largely from former Conservatives, poll finds"

Opening text of the article reads: "Prime Minister Mark Carney's sustained surge in the polls is coming predominantly from former Conservatives, according to new figures published by the Angus Reid Institute.
According to a new poll published on Thursday, 13 per cent of respondents who voted Conservative in 2025 would now vote for a Carney-led Liberal party if given the chance."

Think I may have found the first book in my challenge I’m going to need to skip and try again later. Lots going on right now and just can’t get into it. Going to move on rather than bog down.

Curious to see what others think of this. I loved Library at Mount Char and went into his new book with a lot of hope. I tried very hard to love it, but I just didn’t. There was great promise here of a more horror filled Richard Adams, but it felt more like a darker version of Warrior Cats.

Yeah, I’m still enjoying it, but it doesn’t leave much room for other reading and the limitation is starting to chafe a little as my TBR grows.
