Week 28
Okay, so, now in the depths of July, my reading speed is slowing down. Though, I did pick up some non-fiction as well this week, and while I try to keep these reviews for fiction, I feel like it’s important to note that I read and really enjoyed WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE DON’T TALK ABOUT FAT by Audrey Gordon, so. Y’know.
This week: The Chosen and The Beautiful by Nghi Vo
Week 14
It’s April!
Spring is usually my favourite season, but there is something deeply sad to me about going into a second spring wherein COVID cases look grim, and we can’t do much of anything. I haven’t seen most of my friends for over a year, now.
Hey, remember when some people thought lockdown would make us all more productive? Wild.
Week 13
It continues to be very strange to me in a lot of ways that we’re in year two of the pandemic, that the weather is the same and the time of year is the same as when it all shut down originally.
Time continues to be fake, but somehow, books keep happening, so I keep going.
Week 12
The sun is coming out, the weather is (gradually) getting warmer, springtime is approaching!
An extremely large part of my mind still thinks we’re in spring 2020 and may never reemerge from that.
Week 11
Do you ever just feel like there are too many books?
I feel this way sometimes.
Anyway, uh, happy anniversary to COVID coming to Ottawa I guess.
Week 10
Oof.
March.
Okay then.
Week 9
I’m deeply uneasy about the fact that it’s already the end of February.
Like, holy crap.
Welp.
Week 8
I feel like we’re reaching the state of…winter? Pandemic? Pandemic winter?
Where all the days kind of blur together and I have trouble separating them out, or feeling like I am doing anything particularly meaningful with my days.
Anyway, books!
Week 7
You know what’s hard?
Writing.
You know what’s less hard?
Reading some really excellent books!
Week 6
Whoa, it’s February. Somehow. Shit.
