2019 Book Resolution: The Ballad of Black Tom, The Dream Cycle, The Dream Quest of Vellitt Boe
As mentioned in the last post, the other part of my resolution is to read books. Any books. I haven't been reading, people; it's just been a lot of TV.
Another aspect of this resolution is that I asked for and received an e-reader for Christmas, so I want to be sure that I'm actually getting use out of it, and that it doesn't become a toy that I have just to feel more like a person who is actually reading books even when I'm not.
January was dedicated to Lovecraftiana. I read The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle and The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe by Kij Johnson (both available as part of the e-book bundle Reimagining Lovecraft: For Tor.com Novellas). In between, I read the Lovecraft stories known as the Dream Cycle, including The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.

There are two more novellas in the Tor bundle, but as we got into February, things got very stressful, so I decided to pivot away from Horror. But that'll have to wait until next month (which is, you know, a few days from now).
