Mid-Year Reading Check-In

The year is half over! Can you believe it? How's everybody holding up? Are you doing okay?

If you're reading this on the day it's posted, I'm in the middle of Hell week at work. July 4th is the busiest day of the year at state parks. Then it's the weekend, which is always chaotic at parks. Also, the fiscal year is ending (and beginning), and I work in the revenue department when I'm not dealing with traffic, tourists, problems, etc. Basically, the world is conspiring to kill me. I'm so tired.

Anyway, let's talk about books. I've read 26 of them this year, which is abysmal. Every year, I read fewer and fewer books. I miss reading! I just don't have time for it.

In better news, my book buying ban worked. In 2022, I decided to stop buying books until I read all the unread books on my shelf. I accomplished my mission in May 2025. I currently own 0 unread books. That's pretty cool. Let's discuss the best and worst of what I read.
