SilverWolf28's 2023 Books, part 1

Welcome to my 2023 thread!

I've had a lot of fun here on LibraryThing and plan to have a lot more fun in 2023.

In 2022 I read a total of 450 books! Less than 2021's 456. This year we'll see if I read a similar number.

I host the Social Distancing Readathons in the 75ers group every weekend. If you would like to be reminded of the readathon every week let me know.

You seem to be on a Jan Stryvant binge who I will admit to being totally unfamiliar with.

>16 PaulCranswick: Jan Stryvant is a pen name for John Van Stry if you've heard of him. Look them up on Kindle Unlimited, most of their books are on it.

>17 SilverWolf28: He looks to be something of a character, Silver.

Here's the next readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/347873

Hi Silver! Thanks for keeping up the readathons, as usual!

>21 alcottacre: I was on a Jan Stryvant binge is why I read so much. I seem to read her books really fast. Next month will probably not be quite as much.

Here's the next readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/348078

>24 SilverWolf28: Thanks Silver. This weekend is an important reading time for the end of the month.

>25 PaulCranswick: You're welcome!

>23 SilverWolf28: I am not familiar with this author at all. I will have to see if I can track down her books locally.

>27 alcottacre: Almost all of her books are on Kindle Unlimited.

>68 SilverWolf28: Mightily impressive!

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for keeping up the readathons. Very much appreciated.

>71 SilverWolf28: You're welcome!

Here's the next readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/351696

My Mom was in a bad car crash yesterday morning. She's in the hospital and seems stable. She'll be in the hospital for a month or more with as many injuries as she has.

I'm so sorry, Silver - how very upsetting. Sending healing wishes to her, and supportive thoughts for you.

>76 PlatinumWarlock: Thank you.

>75 SilverWolf28: So sorry, Silver, sending good vibes for both of you.

I'm so sorry this has happened to your mom. Will be praying for her and for you.

Here's the Fourth of July readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/351865

>78 FAMeulstee:, >79 drneutron: Thank you!

Mom's doing better today, we went to see her and she's alert and able to nod and smile. She's on a ventilator so she can't talk. She should be able to come off the ventilator tomorrow. She's going to have to have several surgeries over the next few weeks. She has one compound fracture in each leg and one not compound fracture in each leg. Plus a few broken ribs and a cracked collar bone. Also lots of cuts and bruises. The worst injury is where her skull is dislocated from her spine. If her platelet levels come up they'll do the neck surgery tomorrow. They put metal rods on her legs yesterday.

I'm so glad she was able to nod and smile at you, Silver - that must be encouraging. We're all pulling for her!

Ohmigosh Silver! Those injuries are tremendous! I'm so glad it seems she'll recover. I take it she's not paralyzed?

>83 PlatinumWarlock: It is encouraging!

>84 The_Hibernator: Mom's doing great. She's not paralyzed, she's been able to wiggle her fingers and toes with no problems since the accident.

Here's the next readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/352063

Mom's doing better, she's in her own room now instead of the ICU.

Oh, that's great news, Silver. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

>87 SilverWolf28: Good to hear!

Here's the next readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/352222

Mom's doing good. She has a surgery planned for tomorrow for her right leg. This should be the last surgery she needs.

>91 SilverWolf28: Glad to read your mother is doing well. Good luck for the last surgery tomorrow.

Here's the next readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/352404

The surgery went well. She has a very long road to recovery, but she's getting better little by little.

Mom's doing really good, she's a lot more aware than she was just a few days ago. She's mouthing responses to the nurses and us. She really wishes that they'll take the tube out of her throat soon so she can talk.

Here's the next readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/352884

Mom's doing really well. She's stable and slowly but surely improving.

Glad to read your mother is progressing, Silver.

>102 SilverWolf28: Wow, just wow!

>107 SilverWolf28: That is very good news. I hope she continues to improve!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Good news about your mom!

Thanks everybody!

Here's the next readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/353058

Mom's doing really good, the doctors and nurses are very pleased with her progress.

Here's the next readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/353193

Mom's doing well, she's able to talk some now. Her muscles are still quite weak, but she's doing physical therapy now so she'll hopefully get stronger soon.

I am impressed at the number of books you read this year! In addition to caring for your mother. I was the caretaker for my beloved grandmother and I vividly remember how difficult it was. Yet, there were moments of sheer beauty and love when I knew the deep honor it was to take care of her inher older years, as she took care of me when I was young.

I hope your mother gets stronger each day.

Here's the next readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/353351

Mom's doing good. She's been moved to a less critical floor of the rehab hospital. And she's needing less pain medicine. She's also able to start eating soft food now, she still has the feeding tube but they're phasing it out. She's talking quite well now. Because of the head injury she's not quite right mentally, she hallucinates some things, hopefully that will get better soon.

Between January and August I read 319 books.

Mom's doing well. Her wounds are healing like they should. Her mental state doesn't seem to have improved this week, she's still hallucinating quite a bit.

Congrats on passing 300 books already Silver.

Mom's physically doing well. The doctors don't want her to walk yet, because of the compound fractures, but they think she may be able to in a couple of weeks. She's mentally still somewhat confused, but not quite as bad as last week.

Here's the next readathon: https://www.librarything.com/topic/353988
