Week 24
Wooooooof it has been a hot week. I feel as though my brain has perhaps leaked out of my ears a little over the course of this heatwave, and the words have been, uh, difficult lately. Either way, I did manage to read some books!
This week: Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo, Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi
Week 23
It’s!!! June!!! Apparently!!! We are rapidly approaching the midpoint of the year! This is fine! Everything is fine!
In other news, I got my first jab of the vaccine, so I look forward to being able to rejoin society some day.
This week: Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo and Fireheart Tiger by Aliette de Bodard
Week 22
Hmmmmmmmmmm unhappy about it being the last week of May!!! Not super comfortable with that tbqh!!!!
Today’s reads: The Unbroken by C.L. Clark, The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick
Week 21
Wow it sure is hot out, huh? I feel as though the pandemic has made any sense I had of the changing of seasons just completely go away. Who the hell knows at any point what the weather might be like outside?
Anyway. Books!
Week 20
Have I struggled yet with the fact that it’s May? April seemed like it went by completely in a rush, I cannot comprehend the passage of time.
The real tragedy is that I think I missed out on all my chances to make ‘Nsync jokes :(
Week 19
I seem to have gone down a bit of a thriller rabbit hole, which is always a dangerous place to be. I like thrillers and mysteries, but it’s a hard genre to get right, and it seems like it so often is steeped in ableism and other bigotries.
Ah well. Every so often I find a gem, I suppose.
Week 18
I may have done the thing where I checked out too many books from the library again.
Oops??
Week 17
This week, I take a deep dive into horror in what is perhaps escapism and is perhaps just really good books. Sometimes it’s hard to tell, really.
Still, focus can be an issue for me lately, so anything that manages to keep my focus definitely gets a shout-out!
Week 16
I feel a little as though I am spinning my wheels, running in place. I suspect this is due to the length and tenacity of the pandemic, though that doesn’t make me any happier about it.
In any case, books continue to happen, and I continue to read them.
Maybe one day I’ll stop waiting for my to-read list to clear out.
Week 15
Onwards, April.
Also, Camp NaNoWriMo, which is passing much easier than I thought it would.
Hey, antidepressants are kind of fun, huh?
