#*100 pages of the main book left. then theres an afterword and short story i might read or else might save for later

[six-of-ravens]

Okay, I have about 100 pages left in Veniss Underground, so I'm going to shut my phone off, set a timer for an hour, and try to finish it. It's a quick read once I get into it. Might also try to read while pacing the apartment bc my neck/jaw hurt and I think sitting scrunkled up on the couch is making that worse lmao.

My goal is to finish Veniss and then have zero reading obligations for the rest of the year. I need a break. I'm so burnt out that sometimes thinking about the books I want to read makes me a little nauseous, no matter how little pressure I put on myself goal-wise (this is the Year of Burnout for sooooooo many things). I might pick up a manga or comic between now and new years, something quick and light that can be read in a few hours, and I've actually been reading fanfic again recently which is a nice change, I fell off the bandwagon with it for a while bc I didn't have any fandoms I was passionate enough about to look up fic.

But! No novels! None! Braincell Recovery Time Only!!

#*100 pages of the main book left. then theres an afterword and short story i might read or else might save for later #im liking this story a lot more from Nicola and Shadrach's perspectives #still not as brain-melting as some of his other books but pretty good #also most of the fanfic im reading is like 2k word smut. i WILL read romance in fanfic form just Not Novel Form #Don't Ask Me Why #anyway basically my goal between now and new years is to do things that don't require a lot of brainpower #probably a combo of videogames (which require brainpower but in a Different Fun Way) and housework #also im gonna make french onion soup qnd charcuterie again bc that was the BEST idea last year it was SO GOOD AND NICE AND SIMPLE #maybe i will also find a defunctland video to get drunk and cry to like the disney channel theme documentary last year #im just procrastinating now bc i have to get up and find my fitbit to set a timer so i can shut my phone off
