This week mission...
I would like to finish two book: the audiobook of The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater (currently missing 12%) and Orlando by Virginia Woolf (80 pages left). I would also like to continue The Secret History by Donna Tartt, that if it wasn't my Book of the Month pick I would have DNF it. I also have to start the readings for my next semester.

it’s been a hot second!
there might be a link coming to my actual wordpress blog with my progress so far on all my reading challenges. emphasis on “might." for once, I’m “on track” with my goodreads challenge (15 out of 125), but “on track” is just one step ahead of “3 books behind,” so this week is going to be a push to finish the book of the city of ladies, which I’ve been reading since early january, to finish vita nostra which I’ve been listening to for about two weeks, and to work on a handful of shorter, more fun books.
the book of the city of ladies by christine de pizan (own, library sale). a continued effort. it should fit in at least one challenge.
mairelon the magician by patricia c. wrede (own, paperbackswap), a fun little early 90s paperback about... yeah, magicians.
the invention of sound by chuck palahniuk (giveaway). I got it as an ARC from my library’s weekly giveaway. having never read any of palahniuk’s previous work, I’m interested to see if this sparks my interest.
solutions and other problems by allie brosh (library). I already read the first two comics and was almost crying of laughter in my car outside the library, so I think this’ll be a keeper. another challenge read.
across the green grass fields by seanan mcguire (library). NEW WAYWARD CHILDREN NEW WAYWARD CHILDREN AAAAAHH--
and as mentioned, vita nostra by sergiy and maryna dyachenko (hoopla audio). I had to read something "dark academia” for the popsugar challenge and this was the least obnoxious option hoopla had available.
last week I picked up a pretty hefty library haul, with a handful of graphic novels, so it’s possible that I'll augment my actual novels with shorter, more bite-sized stuff. just so I can return books instead of just pick them up. atm I have 13 books to read checked out (not including cookbooks, quilting books, and hoopla stuff) along with my still-massive physical TBR, so... maybe I need to get a move on!!
Weekly TBR!
My first Weekly TBR! As you guys no we have a new schedule over on All Things Gee. Monday's are going to be my weekly TBR! #bookblog #weeklytbr #bookish
HAPPY JANUARY!! I hope that you are having the best start to 2021 you can in this current madness! To start with the new posting schedule I thought I would share with you what I will be reading this week. There is only two books on this weeks TBR but that is because uni work is currently having to take over from reading for a couple weeks. I thought for the first week I would choose two books…

weekly reading, december 20 thru december 26
yall, I’ve officially reached the “do not give a damn” point of the reading year. and I keep putting books I don’t really want to read on my weekly stack. so it’s just going to be pretty loose this week and next.
last week, I DNF’d a bunch of stuff and finished black sun by rebecca roanhorse. it was a little bit of a letdown after trail of lightning, but I’ll still read the sequels when they come out, if just for xiala, who is, if a little sex-obsessed, still a very solid character.
this week:
gosh dang I am going to finish the fires of vesuvius this week. it’ll be a sit-your-butt-in-the-chair-and-read challenge but I’ve got to get it done.
cemetery boys by aiden thomas. the first chapter isn’t particularly convincing, writing style-wise, but I’m going to give it a shot anyway.
race the sands by sarah beth durst still. maybe. probably.
this is how you lose the time war by amal el-mohtar and max gladstone. I don’t know at all what’s going on in this weird book but I’ll also give it a shot, because it seems charming in an obnoxious, pretentious way.
I also started tiny nightmares, an anthology of short-short horror stories. usually I don’t enjoy either horror or short stories, but I do like short-short stories, and horror imho is best enjoyed in small bites.
beyond that, I still have to finish the oxford american volume, and I have master of one by danielle bennett and jaida jones and over the woodward wall by seanan mcguire as my last library books. my luck for picking up books I actually want to finish is dwindling at an alarming rate so... we’ll see which books I actually give a chance past the 10% mark.
good grief. I also have axiom’s end by lindsey ellis and harrow the ninth by tamsin muir left to read, too. and there are just 11 days left in the month/year. tiny nightmares indeed.
since late october I’ve been having a writer’s crisis and decided to quit or at least phase out of writing. that was a whole week and I didn’t want to get out of bed and I was late for work both days I actually had to go into the office. I finally nutted up and talked to a friend about it, though, and they’ve got me thinking about why I was having such a bad relationship with the whole thing in the first place. I’m still taking a break from writing, probably for the rest of this year, and go back in in '21. forcing myself to Not Be A Writer has been both very relaxing and very painful, because I get a lot of my self-worth from writing for people, but in a year like this I was getting no feedback validation anyway, so I think it’ll be good for me to step back and recharge my batteries and realign my hunger for the craft. it’d be great if I could think about writing again without wanting to put my face through some glass pane of some sort.
sorry for the weird tone! it’s late and I should have gone to bed an hour ago when I felt myself get kind of nihilistic! check back in soon, and in the meantime, enjoy my new char/story/setting vibe tags <3
