I finished Katabasis by R.F. Kuang, which I was very excited about — to the point of going to a launch event and getting a personalised copy. It was a lot of fun! A bit sticky and poorly realised in certain areas, but had a very satisfying ending. (Not as good as Babel, which I absolutely adored, but that's a high bar to clear.) Now I'm celebrating the spooky season with some Stephen King.
I also finally set up the a second bookshelf in my new place. The world's most mediocre triumph, lol.
...wow, sure is appropriate for the heading of this blog entry that i'm just noticing this like a month later lmao
rf kuang is historically not so much my thing, rip, but glad you had a good time!
i have been... REALLY scattered lately so honestly not so much with the reading alas. but i've been playing a lot of piano and that's almost as cool. being very "hey has anyone else ever heard of this [composer who's been dead for nearly three centuries]??? turns out he's pretty good!!!" about it LMAO
also i've been rereading some canon to prep for my yuletide fic so i'm excited for that but it's SEEKRET atm hahaha
