Think I will go ahead and pick up Trigger Warning and or Fragile Things in order to get caught up with the Gaiman releases. Of course Storm Front is still available, one of my favorite series starters.

>7 Wootle: my gift to myself was Flowers for Algernon in the recent re-release of EP’s Masterpieces of Science Fiction series. I look forward to reading it. It has been on my TBR list for a couple of decades.

Well, I already have some coming so that is done.
But in general, my resolution is to continue making time for reading. I rearranged the dining room in our house, which is off of the living room. As the table was seldom used, it is gone, and I moved in a bright lamp and a recliner, setup in front of the window. This is now my reading room, and it has been a success, in that I am reading at least 60 minutes a day now. So I resolve to keep this up.
There are a few key reasons the new reading room works for us. First it is separate, but communicable with the living room. That is, there are wide, sliding doors between the two, so I am still 'in the area', not isolating myself from the family. Second, it is device free, while I can hear and speak to them, I am not competing with the dang time wasting electronic devices in the living room. There is a small radio next to the chair, so I have that one device in there, but that is used so that I can turn on classical at low volume while reading if necessary to drown out the beeps and pings coming from the other room.
I guess that is all there is to it, I resolve to continue to make use of the new reading room this coming year.
