Reading Block

~ Veselin ~ 4 Comments

I completed my Goodreads Reading goal last month and have not finished a single book since then. Not sure what’s going on. The book I currently read seems to be fine, but I’m stuck on it, and the end isn’t near. I can likely read it for another 2 weeks. The book is The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne, I’m around page 330 out of 510, and it took me 8 days to get there. It’s a Malazan style epic fantasy saga in a Norse mythology world.

Anyway, here’s a screenshot from my Goodreads accomplishment. I doubt I can beat this any time soon. My goal for next year will be in the 40s-50s, unless I find another series of books that is easy to read and long as I did in 2024. Stephanie Plum and Thraxas brought me good moments.

Saint Sofia

Saint Sofia is the church that gave the city its name. It was founded in the 4th century and rebuilt several times, primarily because of earthquake damage. The present-day look is roughly the same as it was in the 500s. It doesn’t have a bell tower, unlike all the other nearby major churches, and to this day uses an old tree for the bell.

The photo is from a week ago.

Find the cat

Do you ever see wild animals?

I live in the city and the best I can do is see cats, dogs, rats, crows, magpies, jays, and pigeons. We used to have sparrows as well but I think their population suffered a disaster of some kind.

Can you to find the cat on the photo? 🙂
