Currently on page 241 of The Passage by Justin Cronin (and loving it)

Now onto another trilogy (that again I started a very long time ago). I am extremely excited to reread The Passage by Justin Cronin and hope it’s as amazing as I remember

Delighted to have finally finished reading a trilogy I initially embarked upon nearly twenty years ago.

The sun is out! It’s cold but the sun is out. The amount my mood is dictated by the weather is a little concerning. Especially given I live in England.
In other news, I’m powering through Citadel by Kate Mosse.

I’ve been debating what collection to read once I finish Salt Slow and glanced at the contents pages (yes pages) for my Saki collection. There are A LOT of stories. These aren’t short stories, these are flash! If I do one a day this book will take months!

One page of the contents for Saki’s The Complete Short Stories listing around SEVENTY stories split by subject matter. The book is held by a hand which looks slightly odd and unnatural (the thumb too long) despite the photographer’s best efforts to take an aesthetically pleasing picture.

Day 26 of reading a short story every day.
Today (predictably) I read Smack by Julia Armfield from Salt Slow.

My current audiobook is All Systems Red by Martha Wells, one I stumbled across when looking for something short. So far so great!
