Starting the year off a little slowly, only reading these two books. And I haven't finished anything recently.

My reading is slowly coming back. I find that I can read read for about 30-45 minutes at a time, but its usually closer to 30 minutes most times. I currently am working on The Martian and Seven Husbands for my book meetings this week. And when those are done, I will get onto In Memorium and When the Elephants Dance. I will attempt to work on Little Fires and Charlotte's Web, but I have some others in the wings to work on.

Slow week, work hard, but enjoyed my conference!
Cat Step was good.
Daring Night was 2nd in a Liverpool detective series that I think I enjoy more because it‘s in Liverpool 🤷♀️
Started Holly last night and am trying not to read at 100 miles an hour!!
I usually post my #weeklyreport Sunday afternoon but this has been such a great reading week I am going to post now. 7 books read since previous report: 3 manga, 1 graphic novel, 1 story collection, 1 novel & 1 collection of linked novellas. The three managa were vol 7-9 of Blood On the Tracks. So disturbing. So intense. The gn was the tagged one by Sala. A hybrid of pulp, crime, expressionism & horror. The story collection was Carys Davies (cont)
5 books completed since previous #weeklyreport
Stine's Horror At Camp JellyjJam* Barker's Books of Blood Vol. 3*Vasko Popa's Selected Poems (translated by Simic)*Hoke's Open Throat*Tagged Book.
The first 2 were a bit disappointing. I had a lot of fun with my prior Stine book, however I have started reading One Day At Horrorland & am having a blast. The Barker was frontloaded with the best stories, definitely the weakest vol I've read (cont)
I have posted this priceless meme before but am reusing it for my #weeklyreport as I actually read 1 Goosebumps book this week (the very strange I Live In Your Basement!) & am also in the middle of the tagged book. A total of 6 books this book, including the one in progress: 2 graphic novels, 2 goosebumps, 2 novels. The standout is Orphan Master's Son which I will be recommending for years to come.

Four books read this week. one was a short story collection that I had been working on for a few weeks, another was PK Dick's Electric Dreams & two bleak, unsettling works of dark literary fiction: Iain Banks' Complicity & Cormac McCarthy's Child of God. My favorites were the Banks & the McCarthy.

I'm posting my bibliophile highlight of the week as a separate post & several days early because there's no way that it will be topped. A few days ago I had the extremely good fortune to spend a delightful evening with my fellow horror fanatic @reggie There was book shopping, dinner & lots & lots of great conversation. It was a fantastic evening!
