Reflections of Failure: A Monster Musing

My name is Michele and I’m a failure. It’s no surprise given the state of the world. *gestures, or possibly waves smoke away from face* I’ve been failure as a reader, and especially as a reviewer. This blog has been quiet for too long, and while I’d like to think I’m going to change that this year, the truth is I might not. I’m going to try, but it’s become real obvious over the last few years that none of us can predict what a year will bring. Even, years ago now (though it doesn’t feel that way) when the pandemic lock downs began I wasn’t among the people looking to find new distracting hobbies while locked inside. My life accelerated at an incomprehensible speed, and like a lot of people there’s no “new normal”.

But there is Booktok. And an amazing array of book videos on Youtube. And wonderful new methods of storytelling and engaging with other story lovers, like Webtoons and serial story sites.

I can’t tell you that I will do better this year. But I can tell you I’m excited to read, and I have a shiny new Kindle Unlimited account, a dangerously high stack of TBRs (um, multiple of them), aaand also a shiny new computer which doesn’t die randomly on me. Let’s go.
