Fortnightly* Update #19
And my slow reading has continued. I really will pick it back up. Soonish...I promise. I did do a quick purge of some books which felt good. I still want to do a more thorough cleaning though. One book I'm currently reading is Drums of Autumn, which is the fourth Outlander book. I've read the first three as audiobooks, but saw a deal on this one and decided to try it as a regular book. I think I will switch back after this one. Not that I don't like the book, but I miss Davina Porter's narration.
*I've decided to change this a bit to a bimonthly update, on the 1st and 15th of each month. But I'm keeping the name, since I really like the word fortnight.
