Not on hold by choice. The library loan ended before I could finish, and it’s a high demand book so I wasn’t able to renew. I had to go back on the waiting list, so it’s on hold until I get it again.

I might end up with the same problem as The Cruel Prince. This is due on December 4 and I don’t know if I can renew. I’m really enjoying this one. It’s mid-grade fantasy so a bit easier to breeze through than the other book (which isn’t that difficult either at YA level), but it’s just having the time. I usually read my Kindle at lunch and I haven’t really been taking lunch. If I can’t renew I might see how much this one is since I really like it, and I want to support Black women creatives/creators ♥
Title: Hamlet

I started Act I Scene II but I didn’t get too far with it.

No additional progress with this. I’ve been on the fence about putting it on hold, but I’m hoping the Maya library book will push me back into this as they’re both about orishas.

I always wind up making progress with one thing, and I actually wound up finishing the first chapter. I need to decide if I’m going to switch to one of the C. G. Jung books. I think I might.

I’m never putting this on hold; I Just don’t have the emotional capacity to deal with it lol. I’m so scared for all the characters’ safety, and the stakes are so high. It’s a sign of excellent writing when someone gets so emotionally invested they can’t read your book unless they’re mentally prepared :p
Is the void still accepting screams? I heard it was full. I honestly just didn’t feel like doing this yesterday so my entire State schedule is one day off. I’ll do the Gamer one tomorrow, and honestly that’s why it’s been pushed off lol. Because I’ve been all into this one game. Anyway, I need to eat dinner. I logged off work around 3:00 today and went to bed until 9:00. I either have to make up the time tomorrow or (more likely to happen) take some PTO. Lord knows I have plenty of it.
Happy December! We close on our house in 15 days 😬
