Worked an event outside in the cold all day yesterday and woke up feeling absolutely smashed, sore throat and quite tired. Guess today is a day for books and bed.
I do not collect much manga at all, just Junji Ito and a then the random interesting horror I stumble across, but this is a series written by an actual trans person so I had to check it out. Bought the others after I finished the first so guess I‘m enjoying it.

Currently reading. I feel like I haven‘t been enjoying what I‘m reading lately but this one is finally breaking the bad streak. So good.
Currently reading for family bookclub. Wanted to read this one in preparation of the The Daughter of Doctor Moreau.
Currently reading. Danica hung out at the library where I used to work and I still see her around when I visit the area and I am hopelessly in love with her, send help.
Current audiobook. Been waiting for a copy to become available for a while.
I‘ve been listening to it while doing a jigsaw puzzle so I guess this means that I‘m well and truly on my way to turning 40 this year.
Doing some research and…this quote 😂 Men really hated when women said things, huh. Or wrote, in this case.
Revisiting a favorite author for some comfort reading. Definitely a middle grade reader book but still has that de Lint fantasy charm I‘ve come to love.
Also, gorgeous cover.
Current audiobook since my friendships seem to be way more long lasting and intense.
Haven‘t been able to read much lately, but I‘m trying to finish this one for bookclub before the end of the month. Really good so far, just can‘t concentrate on anything.
Current audiobook for family book club. Not enjoying it much yet but I‘m pushing through.
Anxiety has been pretty high so I haven‘t been able to focus on reading this week but I‘ve settled down a little and am starting this one today. Queer fantasy is always a nice escape.
Starting up this year of zen journal on Sunday. Throws me off a little that it starts in March and not January, but this intro helps it make sense.
#zen #journaling
First trip to any kind of theatre in two years. The precautions made me feel safe and I really couldn‘t pass up this interpretation of a favorite. I enjoyed it so much!
Morning cacao and morning reading. This is my first time reading Le Guin so I‘m pretty excited.
Current audiobook job. This book is a swift reminder of how awful things used to be.
Current audiobook. My sister gifted me a signed copy of the book but the audio version is read by her and that‘s just too good to pass up!
Space horror!
Viruses in space really know how to amp up that fear.
Randomly discovered that one of my favorite fantasy authors wrote a sci fi in the 90s featuring an agender protagonist and you better believe I bought it immediately.
So far it‘s sucked me right in.
Current audiobook.
I‘m taking a Mythology class right now and the amount Jungian reference has been interesting so I‘m reading this one on the side.
Currently reading.
The beginning‘s been good, reminds me of Algernon Blackwoods‘ The Willows. I‘ve heard that it gets pretty misogynistic though so I‘m not looking forward to that.
Current audiobook.
I miss my H Mart dearly since moving but this book is taking me back.
Finished listening to this one yesterday. I don‘t think I‘ve ever managed to laugh during a book about this time period but it certainly was an interesting, comic voice.
I didn‘t realize there was a movie based on the book now so might have to try to see that too.
Currently reading.
Still haven‘t taken down my tree, guess I should start thinking about that.
Moving on to things I know ALL about: Things To Do When You‘re Goth in the Country. Haha.
I‘m trying to take a break from the library (gasp) in order to devote time to the books I own but haven‘t read. There are A LOT of them.
#shortstories
I usually like reading a book before I watch things based on it so I started reading this one. But it‘s kind of… not good? I‘m going to keep reading to see if the writing gets better since it is loved by many but not sure it‘s for me.
Maybe I‘m just burnt out on the idea of vampire romance.
Does it get better?
I haven‘t been completely sucked into a fiction book in a while but yesterday I couldn‘t stop reading this one. Illustrations, humor, and oddities galore.
Thoroughly enjoying this novella so far. Outlaw librarians and old (new?) west antics.
This doesn‘t really count EVERYTHING I‘ve read since I try not to put books I did for work on my goodreads unless I‘m really interested in them but I‘m still happy I met my personal reading goals.
Currently reading.
Visiting my sister for the holidays. She was obsessed with these books as a kid but I missed them somehow so I‘m going back to read them now.
“Some stories begin at the beginning and others begin at the end, but all the best stories begin in a library.”
Okay, Alice Hoffman, wreck me, let‘s do this. #practicalmagic #librarylove
Currently reading.
Currently reading. Enjoying the inclusive sci fi vibes.
I collect weird zines, mostly about occult or queer topics and yesterday was an embarrassingly good haul. The Hermetic and Alchemical Zines were definitely a big splurge but I look forward to dipping in soon.
Britain‘s increased shipping prices are making it pretty difficult for me to keep ordering some my favorites though 😩 What a nightmare.
When you get a book from Brazil and want to keep the wrapping, hah. The book doesn‘t seem to be in Litsy‘s catalog but it‘s actually Monstrans by Lino Arruda.

Started this one yesterday, been looking forward to it for a while now.

Current book and morning cacao to try and wake up today.

Read this one real fast. Probably one of the most interesting graphic novels I‘ve seen in a long time, super unique and very worth hunting down. Most of the stories are pseudo memoir style science fiction and truly out there.
