I am aiming to read wider, and source sustainably. And peck away at French books. I kick myself for not getting any häiku at the conference. This count includes ones read and partly read. Not the 50 or so others scattered around.
I’m hoping to finish title 115 read this week. Page count varying from 8 pages to 1100, avg 175 pages. Only half the free downloads were fan fiction. (Let’s just stash this record keeping under a safe outlet for OC impulse.)
Amazon is a great resource for previews, much better than the publishers in most cases. (For the love of god, just share a page of poetry in preview, anyone.) I aim to look it up online and get it from publisher or author, but for international the indie stores not dealing with small publishers, and publishers not shipping to Canada or insane postage rates… it all makes it too much of a steeplechase.
I aim to review as a practice a tenth of what I read which makes myself boxes into the strange position of feeling guilty for reading when I have conscripted myself to finish reviews underway. Let it go…let it go…
