I haven't been reading anything lately - a sort of a dry spell. Like I said before I vanished, Monica and I were to book hunt and we did just that. From that book hunt, I picked up a copy of Every Zombie Eats Somebody Sometime
(new), Pronto
by Elmore Leonard (used), Somebody to Love?
by Grace Slick with Andrea Cagan, FLCL vol. 1
, and some book by James Patterson
(all used).
So my dry spell isn't due to not having books. I also started reading Dexter in the Dark
, but quickly put it down. Picked up The Ultimated Lovecraft Collection
, put it down and then started reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
, but put it down as well. Then the worst thing that could happen did and I had to call Amazon to report that my Kindle
just up and broke on me. It was replaced - which arrived two days later - and all was right with the world.
So I started writing, which consumed most of my time. I playfully called the piece "Zombies in the Outfield," but "The United Undead Baseball League" might be the project's title after I complete the editing process. I also started writing something new, but it's not going so well so I might try to get some reading done so the blog doesn't die - it entered in its third year and the following isn't great, but at least I have readers stumbling in.
During the writing process, I also picked up Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos
, Glue
, City of the Dead
- which I put down when I realized it was a sequel to The Rising
, which I hadn't read yet - and The Rising
. All of which, I put down. I finally picked up Hollowland
- the first book of The Hollows series - by Amanda Hocking. This one might actually survive and pull me out of the dry spell. Here's to hope. Until next time, keep on huntin'.
