Fortnightly Update #49: A Brief Update


After last week's fibro flare kept me in bed and unhappy, I'm glad to be back to blogging (although not as much of it as I'd like).

Recent Acquisitions (or the Piling of the-Piles):

the-pile Additions:

None!

the-invisible-pile Additions:


An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon
I fell in love with the cover of this one and clicked buy before even reading much about it. This is a sci-fi about prejudice and class systems set on a spaceship.


A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea: One Refugee's Incredible Story of Love, Loss, and Survival by Melissa Fleming
As per usual, I can't resist an interesting-sounding biography, and this one is about a Syrian refugee.

Currently Reading:


Skin Folk: Stories by Nalo Hopkinson
Whenever I start having trouble with reading full books, I usually start reading short stories again, and this is a very interesting collection of them. If you like modern fantasy stories, these may interest you.


The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
I started reading this one because it's a paperback edition, and my therapist wants me to cut out reading Kindle books around the time of night that I should be sleeping. It's an engaging read, but it does have very sad parts which has prevented me from reading it as quickly as I normally would.

Finished These Books:

None! Unfortunately, my fibro flare interrupted a productive reading streak.

In My Life:


I bought a nice yoga ball to replace my desk chair, but for some of the week, I've reverted to my previous desk chair. Fibromyalgia doesn't play well with a constantly moving chair when my balance is not the greatest to begin with. I am looking forward to milder temperatures and nicer weather (hopefully) in March.

Happy Reading!
