I don't really have anything exciting to report on the Reading Wrap-up. I'm still working on reading The Martian by Andy Weir. But there's an issue... I made the mistake of reading the quotes on the back, wherein people, at some point, talked up the book. All in all, not a bad thing, but there's one that says the book is like a cross between Castaway and Apollo 13. Not that it's not an accurate representation. Actually it is, but it's killing my reading enjoyment.
At first, I was like 'hey, yeah... it's Castaway on Mars... cool'. Now I can't stop thinking about those two things in relation to the story I'm trying to read and making comparisons instead of enjoying the story.
For starters, I loved both Castaway and Apollo 13 once upon a time. Then Hanks went leftist and now I can't even watch the dude. (I have a tough time enjoying entertainment once I learn the entertainer's politics are antithetical to my own. It's definitely me. Don't get me started on Bette Midler.)
Then I get to wondering... Is Watney supposed to be Tom Hanks? He was played by Matt Damon in the movie. First, I picture the character as Tom then I picture him as Matt... It's confusing.
When Watney gets home is he going to learn his girlfriend married someone else?
Anyway, we'll see if I actually finish this book. I think I need to take a few days off from it and see if I can't get over it.
Now, onto the marketing portion. This weekend only, get UNEQUAL absolutely free. (Always free with Kindle Unlimited.) Pick up your copy of this dystopian suspense today. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LDVFWBS
This is probably it for the weekend marketing experiment. I didn't move that many copies of Blink last week, and I'm not seeing much hope for moving books this weekend. The energy output is not equaling the return, so make it stop.
