Burst

Posted in: 2022 posts | Pick-A-New-Book Jar | Reading | The Weather Looks...

These rainy days are getting to me. 

It's the kind of rain that comes in a burst and goes in a similar nature. Then there's the wind. That ghost-like howling wind. Of course, I'm aware that's not the ghosts coming in to attack us. Just that when you have continual heavy (but short) rain and strong wind, I can't help but think of the natural disasters that can happen because of them. 

...yeah, I'm writing weird again~
It's the rain!

So I decided to pick a new book today! That won't help with the raining and wind but at least I'll be distracted...? 

Finished "Ethan Frome" early morning today. Did I sleep? Yeah. In the morning. I made a bad decision yesterday which involved me drinking a cup of strong coffee - got me up until 6am, strong stuff! - and I only half-regret it. The result was, I kind of missed out on reading some major incident in the end of the book (only realised when I was reading reviews lol) but... I didn't miss the irony of the ending. So, it still went okay. 

Oh yeah, my experience with Wharton's writing style is positive so I don't mind reading her other books in the future.

Okay, back to the jar... *shake shake*

I got... "A Dream of Ice" by Gillian Anderson and Jeff Rovin.

Why, hello there, sequel to "A Vision of Fire" - A book I picked out from the jar last December.

Wait.. for some reason, if I remember correctly what the first book was about, I think this book actually fits the theme(?) today. Interesting.

Good thing I decided to do it today too. It's over 300 pages. Really hope I'll finish it by April 17th.
