19.- I read Kelley Armstrong's _An Ordinary Sort of Evil_, the fifth book in the A Rip in Time series of historical mysteries set in 1870 Edinburgh. Love this book; for my money, the series just keeps getting better.

That feeling when...I read another book in one (admittedly long) sitting, and now I don't have the mental spoons to write a coherent review.

Thanks, I hate it.

New reading rule for myself: DNF the fucking thing if you are avoiding picking up the reader just so you don't 'have to' keep on reading it. You have literally thousands of unread books between the print and digital TBRs, find something you actually want to read, and move on with life.
