Hey Greg!
Just stopping by to see how everything was going in 2024 😊.

What did you think of Heart-Shaped Box? It was the first Joe Hill book I ever picked up, before realizing that he was related to Stephen King 😁. I still desperately want to read The Fireman but with so many books, it's always a question of when, you know?

I hope you continue to have a good reading year. Have fun and happy reading!

The Fireman is an excellent book. Probably his best.

Not faring well in my reading this year. But as I am almost 70 it is probably not surprising. Going to try for a strong finish during this last quarter.

Granted it may not be the number of books you would've liked to get to, but I still think 13 books is a good accomplishment at any age. 😊

I hope you get to discover some gems before the end of the year though. I always say better quality over quantity, so as long as you're enjoying your time reading that's what should matter most.

Wishing you a great weekend and good luck on your reading journey through the rest of the year!
