I don’t know what I expected. I think I had this expectation that it might be a too heavy but I’m enjoying it so far.

What I’m starting January with. Starting Crime and Punishment today. Decided to listen to Empire because it’s been so long since I read it and needed a refresher for the new book.

I barely made it to 2026 with a book in hand and a lapful of animals. I’m going to bed 🥱

Is it weird that I don’t like to read graphic novel series that isn’t finished? I hate waiting. I mean I feel marginally the same about novels. I mean why does it seem like everything is a trilogy? I mention this is because I really want to read Saga and Something is Killing the Children. Alas.

The last 30% of Independent People is really dragging BUT I am going to finish it tomorrow. Not taking it with me into the New Year.
It has given me a lot to think about but probably not in the way that was intended 🧐

Reading Independent People and finding it amusing that it referenced both the wheel in relation to life being what it is and also that there is a town in Iceland called Myrdal. I really must have Wheel of Time on the brain.

The Aes Sedai are so overbearing. I kept hoping they’d get theirs. FINALLY Lord of Chaos came through. I was pretty sure the lord of chaos wasn’t Rand because it seemed too obvious but now I’m not sure.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I basically want to see every adaptation of Buffalo Hunter Hunter . . . graphic novel, yes please . . . movie you say, would be appreciated.
The audiobook is so good. I remember thinking when reading the book that I thought it’d be an excellent audiobook. Glad I was right.
