Binge-reading

lea_hazel: Don't make me look up from my book (Basic: Reading)
I tore through the first three books of Martha Wells' Raksura series like it was my job. Then I downloaded the sampler for the fourth book on Kobo and read it through. When I hit the fade-out, I decided that it was time to slow down. After all, if I binge too hard, I risk burning out on the series before I've even had a chance to get my excitement to the max.

Meanwhile I'm looking at the other "maybes" I downloaded and trying to decide what to read next. I never did finish Emma, actually. Maybe now is the right time for that. N. K. Jemisin's The Fifth Season starts out brilliantly but it's got a trying narration structure and it's depressing as all fuck. On the other hand, there is literal geology magic. I've been meaning to read Marie Brennan's Midnight Never Come for years now, now might also be the right time for that. Or I could try and pick out something extra-frothy, to let me keep up the reading momentum more easily.

Reading dilemmas.
