Sometimes never even heard of the book or author being referenced.... I usually figure I'm probably not the books target audience

I was reading a fanfic that is framed as being the "journal" of a character who dies in canon.
The last chapter, still in first person, describes his death. I feel like the author might've forgotten about the 'journal' bit... |

I tend to have multiple things going as well. I have one on regular reader, short story anthology on bedside reader, cozies or magazines on my take-a-long. In addition, I have an audiobook playing from Alexa next to my chair (while stitching) and a different audiobook on Ipod nano in speakerdoc in sewing room. They are different genres so the plots don't get confused. Right now, mystery on main reader, fantasy anthology on bedside reader, cozies on take-a-long, science fiction on Alexa and non-fiction on Ipod Nano. It's already the 6th of February and I have finished NONE! That is the disadvantage of multiple titles at once.

I’ve been in a reading slump for a few days and the thought of getting back into the serious books I’ve been reading seems like an effort too far.
Maybe tomorrow. |

I'm using Overdrive loans to go through a series. Every time I go to borrow the next book, it's already out and I'm #1 in the waitlist. I guess somebody else is reading through them, lol.

If reading seems like an effort, definitely switch books. Why torture yourself, reading should be a pleasure. So what if your current read is not highbrow enough? Who cares? You should enjoy what you're reading, no matter the genre.

Honestly, I think part of this funk is just being tired of winter. Still a long way to go, too. |

Also, I am curious who exactly names their kid "Aphrodite." I suppose they were thinking of the love and beauty parts, not the... other aspects.

Aphrodite was born from the sea foam according to one legend. I too wonder what the parents were thinking? Was the kid adopted or what?
