Not that I needed another read on top of the EIGHT that I already had going, but my Discord server decided that we would read Phantasma by Kaylie Smith. It looks good. I will give you all that. It's also enormous if memory serves. And we only have until 02 November to finish it. I don't know if I will...at least I will try!

I also told you all I was bad at this. I remembered to post my 01-05 entry on the 12th. Because, you know, brain. Let's see if I can remember to post this week's when I'm supposed to. 

I've made decent progress in my reading for the month so far now that I'm taking my Kindle with me to my new job as well as my Dime Black earbuds. I no longer work in a customer service setting and I've only just gotten through my first week in a sheetmetal manufacturing plant (I work over in packing). It's been interesting and I've gotten through a lot of the two books I've been needing to prioritize. Which also means that a few books have fallen into the land of soft-DNF. 

What else happened...um...oh! I finished Malediction's Embrace and I have to say I adored it. The whole thing reads like its D&D inspired. Not affiliated with them or Wizards of the Coast or even Hasbro because of the way she sidesteps the words they use (drow, Lolth, tabaxi, tiefling) but it was still well done and I liked it. Makes me wonder what kind of fun words can I come up with to replace them? 

Nothing else particularly exciting has happened. I'm either working, sleeping, or reading. Let's continue this in next week's!!
