Take the world in a love embrace

Good morning all. New Years Eve. The precipice if a new year. The hope of a better year than the last 365 days. Make a wish, only accept positive vibes. New year, new me. All that good stuff.

Only positive vibes.

I have lots of books, some place warm to sleep. And technology to talk to my beautiful wife. This year, the border will open and we’ll be reunited.

2021 will be a better year. Someday, we’ll find an old jacket in the back of the closet, and put our hand in a pocket. We’ll pull out an old mask, and laugh, and what a strange year. Then we’ll finish getting dressed, and as we’re walking out the door, reach for our trusty machete, and go out to forage for food, and kill some zombies. But we’ll always think that 2020 was the strangest year.

I love you very much.

Books – a year in review

As I lie here at 10:42 on New Year’s Eve, scrolling through the discover feature on the WordPress app, I feel the need to talk a lot about all the books I read this year.

It’s been a lot. A lot. Trust me, I had a lot of time on my hands. I’m still trying to figure out how to balance work, and reading. So I am reading more now, at least in the last couple of days.

Some of my favourite books this year have been ones that were bought for me. House of Leaves, The Raw Shark Texts, etc. Some I found on the library cart – The Twilight Saga, some cheesy Janet Evanovich novels, and one called Honour Among Thieves.

I have a pretty nice collection of different books. I read a lot this year. I don’t put a number on it. Not everything needs to be a competition. Read because it’s fun, because as soon as you make it a competition, it’s not fun anymore.

I can’t wait to go on some reading adventures in 2021.

What are you reading to ring in the new year? Me, I’m reading The Guest List by Lucy Foley. I’m enjoying it so far.

See y’all in 2021 book nerds!
