Since May, where I wrote up an entry about the iPad Pro. Since then I have been pretty busy with a number of things. I have read several books:</p> <ul> <li>Witch King by Martha Wells (★★★★☆)</li> <li>Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (★★★★★)</li> <li>Exit Strategy by Martha Wells (★★★★☆)</li> <li>Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory by Martha Wells (★★★★☆)</li> <li>The Will of the Many by James Islington (TBD, 44% complete)</li> </ul> <p>I went on vacation to Disney Land. That was an experience—it was fun, but hot and busy. And I have worked on several projects I hope to get finished before school starts back up again. Some easier than others.</p> https://battey.me/2023-in-books/ Mon, 01 Jan 2024 06:21:00 +0000 https://battey.me/2023-in-books/ <p>In 2023, I set a goal to read 8 books. I narrowly hit that goal. It was really challenging to get through some of the books I chose this year. Between some of them being boring, some of them being completely terrible it took months longer than it should have for me to finish some of these books. I thought I’d do some mini reviews. I’ll just go in the order I read them.</p>
