Looking Ahead #4

By Dan Cristelli

As the year comes to a close, I find myself trying to squeeze just one more book onto the completed list for 2020.

Let’s jump in to the next look ahead where I’ll be updating you on the book I’m currently reading, and answering these questions about the next book on the list:

  1. Why did I buy this book?
  2. Why haven’t I read this book?
  3. How am I feeling about jumping in to this book?

Currently Reading: Apex by Ramez Naam

My Progress: I am 85% finished, and should wrap this one up today. Like the other two books in the Nexus series, the pace has ramped up a lot towards the end.

Up Next: The Seventh Day by Scott Shepherd, purchased on 1/4/2014.

Why I Purchased This Book: Good question! I have no idea. I read the synopsis and still don’t have a clue why this one made it into my collection. My best guess is that it was on sale and sounded somewhat interesting.

Why I Haven’t Read This Book: This was purchased during my book club years, so my leisure reading time was pretty minimal.

How Am I Feeling About Reading This Book: Well, I don’t know. The summary revealed that this is a post-apocalyptic story, and I’ve learned that those aren’t really my favorites in the best of years…say nothing about a year with a global pandemic. But we push forward and try to check another book off the list!
