Thanks Missy! I am late to this post, but it struck a chord as I am looking to reacquaint my love of reading with absence from phone (I still have to compel my house to cooperate with that wish). In the meantime, if you are willing to commit to reading The Expanse, listen to the Bible Project mini-series on chaos dragons first (first episode ~June 2023). James S.A. Corey has produced the first compelling modern retelling of ancient, apocalyptic literature that I have seen.
Goals for 2024:
1) Read the fun parts of the Bible (the battles, dragons, and apocalyptic stuff) from the Immerse Bible to Nathaniel out loud. I am realizing that the chapter and verse headings change the flow when I read.
2) Read The Fall of Gondolin and weep bitterly - it's in the name
3) Read something unexpected and be prepared for it to change my mind about something
I really loved reading your words about books and reading, Missy. Thank you! I just finished Tom Lake by Ann Patchett and loved it...I think you’d like it is as well.
