“New Book” Cedar Park, 2024

Today, I picked up A Closed and Common Orbit from the library. It’s the second book in Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers series. I absolutely loved the first book, so I’m excited to dive back into this universe. Plus, it’ll be a nice change of pace to read from a physical book instead of a screen!

“Kiki and Clouds” Cedar Park, 2024

I went to the library today with Kiki to pick up a book. Honestly, I have too many books in my “To Read” list and Kindle library. I blame BookBub! They have so many interesting books for only a couple of bucks each. I’m set for months, if not years.

“Reading Time” Cedar Park, 2022

This evening I finished A Heart Divided, which is book four of The Legends of Condor Heroes series. I was actually standing at the kitchen island, reading and drinking shochu, because if I lie down or sit down to read, I’ll almost immediately fall asleep not matter how good or exciting the book is. And A Heart Divided is excellent. It’s a series that I look forward to reading every night!

I’m a bit sad that I am finished, but also excited because I can now start watching the 2017 Chinese tv series! I wanted to finish the books first, and keep my imagination’s versions of the characters untainted by actors. 😀 It’ll be interesting to see how close the casting of the tv series comes to my mind’s eye.

“Reading Day” Cedar Park, 2022

I was feeling under-the-weather today so I took a rare sick-day. I ended up resting, drinking tea, and reading.

I borrowed She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan from the library last week, and finally got into it. I’m a bit over half way through and enjoying the story and characters very much. Excited to see where it leads!
