January 2026 Reads

January, you’re 31 days too long. But alas I can still count my blessings. Even in spite of getting stung by a sting ray that eventually got infected and needed a course of THREE DIFFERENT ANTIBIOTICS FOR A WEEK. Actually I take it back. January two years in a row, what gives?

Favorites this month are Some Desperate Glory and Never Let Me Go. Both excellent science fiction. If you like science fiction having to do with parallel universes and time jumps with a mix of fascist cults, Some Desperate Glory is your book. And Never Let Me Go needs no introduction. That one sunk its teeth in me.

But other than that. January was filled with loss and struggles. It wasn’t without its bright spots but alas I am defeated. It was a hard month. And oh yeah abolish ice.
