May. 4th, 2026 05:56 pmYesterday evening, on my break at work, I finished Animorphs #31. Which brings the total of Animorphs books I've read this year up to ten so far, including the longer spin-off books that I've been reading at the places in the series where the reading guide I'm using recommends slotting them. This means that I've now met my minimum target for one of my New Years goals, which was to read 10-15 more Animorphs books this year. I'm feeling positive that I have over half of the year left to increase that number.
As the series is a long one, I'm probably not going to post my thoughts on each individual book as I finish them. I'll do it on an "as I feel like it" basis. This book in particular was focused on Jake, who is admittedly the least-interesting of the main cast to me. While I feel for his situation and sympathise with him, this so far doesn't translate into me finding him to be the most likeable. Though that might have something to do with my wariness of how he treats the other characters, particularly his recently-gotten-together-with girlfriend, Cassie, who he still doesn't show a lot of support towards when she's frequently faced with the entire group disagreeing with her worldviews (I wonder why this might be a bit of a sore spot for me, hmm?)
In terms of meeting other goals, I now both have only two main series comics left to post about on my Sonic blog (both of these entries are already written) and only 20 minutes left to watch of the post-game DLC for Resident Evil 8. Unless something unexpected happens, I'm fairly sure I'll get both of those done this week as well.
On a completely different note, myself and several other family members went to visit one of my mum's friends, whose birthday it was today. This resulted in me getting to meet three black sheep and a large, hairy pig up close as I watched them being fed. We also left off with an open invitation that I can just wander up to where they are and feed them whenever I like, which is a massive win in my books.
All in all, a very good day for my random day off this week. (Working shifts, days off happen whenever they happen and I roll with my lack of routine as best I can haha.)
