My year in trying to find books to read

I think my biggest take-away is that some creators I respect have terrible taste in books.

I've been struggling to find books I like. I went a long time without reading any books. I tried to get back into them a few times and kept getting feeling that maybe I was looking for an experience in books that wasn't there. Then, I found some books I actually liked and it was so validating. I can't overstate how good it felt to find books I actually vibed with... but I am not getting into who it was or why I stopped reading them. That's another post.

( My reactions to various books I tried. Most didn't work for me. No specific plot spoilers but I will say things like 'I read to the end and the end was dumb' )

Leverage: The Re-Redemptioning

It's renewed!

I was pretty sure it was at least a few weeks ago and they were putting off the announcement while the studio was focusing on hyping Alex Rider. In a recent interview, Dean was asked about Leverage getting renewed and he did the whole thing where he almost gave an answer without thinking about it, stopped himself and went 'uuuh... we're hopeful!' Also, one writer already posted to twitter that they'd been working on the new season and can finally say so. I could be wrong, but signs point to me being right that the renewal either officially happened or was being treated like a sure thing.
