    Another book I’ll start, set it down and never pick it up again.
    It’s upsetting, I used to read constantly, finish one start another. But my mind will not slow enough for me to enjoy it these days.

    I keep trying.
    “Extinction” , Douglas Preston

    Starting this book The Eternal Husband

    "This remarkably edgy and suspenseful tale shows that, despite being better known for his voluminous and sprawling novels, Fyodor Dostoevsky was a master of the more tightly-focused form of the novella.

    The Eternal Husband may, in fact, constitute his most classically-shaped composition, with his most devilish plot: a man answers a late-night knock on the door to find himself in a tense and puzzling confrontation with the husband of a former lover—but it isn’t clear if the husband knows about the affair. What follows is one of the most beautiful and piercing considerations ever written about the dualities of love: a dazzling psychological duel between the two men over knowledge they may or may not share, bringing them both to a shattering conclusion."

    Just re-read Mort by Terry Pratchett and working on Soul Music again.

    Also The Search by Nora Roberts.

    And listening to Slow Productivity by Cal Newport.

    Apparently, I can't read just one thing.

    well, since I haven’t been able to finish a book in a long time I decided to go back to reading and rereading The Book of Enoch.
    Gotta read every chapter over and over in an attempt to comprehend anyway.

    I really don’t understand why my attention span is that of a 2yr old. I used to chain-read, that’s how I ended up with hundreds of books. There’s something not right with my brain. 🤪🤦‍♀️

    I am currently listening to Grimstone (very dark romance, super spicy) while I'm at the gym or doing housework and currently reading Resistance Training by Kayley Loring (romantic comedy, some spice).
