Autoposting of the bot failed last week and I didn’t have time to fix it. Anyway, been still working up the energy to read a bit more. I’m currently sucked into a gay vampire romance book on my kindle because of course I am.

I finished The Olympian Affair by Jim Butcher last week. Now I just have a few of novellas that I’m working on. Minor Mage by Kingfisher, Ocean at the End of the Lane by Gaiman, then I’ll pick up either Last Unicorn or The Library at Mount Char.

I’m almost done with La Casa de Los Espíritus by Isabel Allende, some parts of it are dated but the main storyline is sadly timeless

I’m reading the 3rd book of the Silo series, Dust. I’ve enjoyed the first two and just cracked this one open and am excited to dig in (pun intended?)

I am reading All the Lovers in the night. I am not sure what I think yet. It’s very well written, but I think I have to finish it to form a proper option.

I have just finished “Stolen Focus”, all in all an enjoyable and relatively informative read on the key ingredients of attention and why we struggle with it nowadays. While some parts were unexpected, and the topic was fairly deeply researched, i still felt like i already knew a bit part of what he talks about. Okay book, would not recommend unless you are really into TedTalks.

I also read “A Little Life”: American slice of life. This might be the book with the longest list of trigger warnings that I have read, easily rivaling Berserk (the manga), and it’s absolutely worth it. It has some pitfalls (namely, everything is a little extreme), but the psychological characterization of the characters is gut punching and reminds me of the best of Victor Hugo and Dostoyevsky. Fullheartedly recommend to anyone that can stomach written violence on many forms.

Now I’m here looking for inspiration on my next read.
