Hey. It's ok if you're behind on your yearly reading goal. That number was arbitrarily chosen in a January fog of optimism & champagne anyway, and you don't need to turn something you love & brings you comfort into a stressor. Read good books. Enjoy them. Be gentle with yourself.

Tonight, while I wait for the cover for my Wolf book (grumble), I have another sales opportunity for you.
This time, it's a collection of fantasy and SF for your pleasure, all books are on sale or even free.
Yes, it's another BookFunnel promo, but this one comes without the newsletter sign-up (but you might have to pay for the book). Just check out which tales might appeal to you.

I was pretty happy when I recently acquired an Eames chair & stool (reproduction/not an original - way too expensive), I was pretty pleased with the major improvement in my #reading#infrastructure.
But now, I feel I missed a chance for a proper upgrade.... [sighs]
