A Whisper Under Ice - reading

Last night I finished "A Whisper Under Ice" by me. Again. This is my NaNoWriMo novel from 2018. Having also just read my "Home Invasion," I can see that where Home Invasion had a lot going on and a lot of interesting stuff, this one is really just not that strong. I love the characters and the overall events and reveals, but ultimately a lot of the writing is about things that are not very interesting. That happens with a NaNo novel pretty often, I'd bet.

With today being November 30th, I'm not going to make even my reduced goal for NaNo this year. I spent my time reading, and I'm honestly okay with that.

Home Invasion and catching up - reading

Finished "Home Invasion" by, well, me. I read this on vacation to help get me in the spirit of NaNoWriMo. I signed up this year, but for a smaller word count than the usual 50,000 words. I'm aiming for 10,000 instead, though that hasn't exactly gone to plan, either. But it was fun. The ending was rushed, of course, like many of my NaNo novels. This was apparently a fourth (or so) re-read for me of this one.

I also put down "People of the Lie, The Hope for Healing Human Evil" by M. Scott Peck, M.D. I read the first chapter or so, but had such a philosophical difference that I set the book aside and haven't looked back since.
