This is why I love reading - feeds my writing, sparks ideas, builds vocabulary, boosts creativity and focus. Fiction builds empathy, too. Legit brain training for longevity.

Too many distractions, and I never finish in time. 🙄 Need to build better habits. Maybe 10 minutes daily, or reading in the morning before my day starts and again before bed. Once the habit sticks, back to borrowing from the library.

Watching: Alien: Earth Season 1, but I cannot remember which episodes I have already watched. Right now, I am at episode 6 to see if I remember watching it last. It has been a while since I watched the series last summer. It was good so far. I heard a second season is on the way but not until 2027!
Season 1
As members of the crash recovery crew search for survivors among the wreckage of a mysterious crashed space vessel, they encounter mysterious predatory life forms more terrifying than they could have ever imagined.With this new threat unlocked, the search crew must fight for survival and what they choose to do with this discovery could change planet Earth as they know it.
