This the garden at the moment — mostly volunteers and who knows what from when I wildly scattered seeds everywhere.
Today I wanted to write about my Goodreads accounts except I’ve fried up all my time trying to fix a couple of simple things which led to having to update and reset passwords and click and reclick in a circular FAQ where no questions were answered and now I’m tired and cranky and don’t feel very charitable toward Goodreads.
Different part of garden with volunteers and surprise-me-later seed dispersal.
Pen name has a Goodreads here.
I have a profile here.
I periodically check in and add books I’ve read and rate them and try to add books I want to read.
I noticed that I still had Ted Chaing’s Story of Your Life up there. I have no idea what happened to that book. I *might* have left it at my mom’s. But I also remember leaving it at the office because sometimes when I’m by myself I have time to read when I finish eating my lunch. That’s the last place I remember seeing it and it’s not there now.
I would be pleased to learn that it was stolen. I would love to be a part of someone discovering that book, even a book thief.
Meanwhile, I never finished it. The book reading situation is bad, just no time for reading. After three weeks I’m about a fourth of the way through Paladin of Souls – I have relented and read books on my phone now because then I always have them with me. So I might finish it by July.
I am about three weeks out from having to turn the manuscript over to beta readers and it’s still a frustrating mess. All my time and energy is on that right now.
My good news is I have a new spec fiction story coming out in Apex Magazine. I will post details when I have them.
