Hey there, fellow bibliophiles! Hope you all had a good week. ☺️
Aaaaand now it’s February. Wow. January was an odd month for me, filled with a whole plethora of ups and downs. But hey–I read 21 books, got to about 38,000 words (about 60 pages) in my WIP, and got past 100 followers! What a month, indeed…
I’ve had a bit of a disappointing library haul this week, but I did find a few noteworthy books among the meh, at least. Here’s hoping that this week’s haul will be better. 🤞

That just about wraps up this week in blogging! Have a wonderful day, and take care of yourselves!
Ooph… that’s a low rating for Foundation. I’m very curious to read it myself. Always wanted to see what Asimov was like

Yeah, me too…maybe you’ll find it more enjoyable than I did, but I found it to be rather dry. I loved the writing, but other than maybe…two(ish) sci-fi elements (seeing the future, humans colonizing hundreds of other planets, etc.), I felt like most of it was just a bunch of old politicians discussing how to prevent total annihilation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
