According to @the.storygraph, I’ve had a great reading year:

- Finishing 49 books (from my goal of 20) read across 11,149 pages, and 192.98 hours;
- Explored 32 new (to me) authors;
- Read 3 books from MY shelf (given I work at a bookstore, this is an accomplishment LOL)

And you know what else made it such a great reading year? The number of non-fiction books I read: 8. I don’t typically gravitate towards non-fiction, but for some reason it was a little bit easier this past year.

Here’s to hoping I get another great reading year!

To celebrate National Science Fiction Day, I thought I’d share with you one of the VERY few sci-fi books I’ve read, and enjoyed.

It’s not a genre I normally gravitate to, and I would love to read more so please feel free to leave recommendations!

A Christmas Carol gets a romantic twist in Good Sprits by B.K. Borison.

This got me bawling during the early hours of the day so I guess it’s safe to say it’s easily one of my favorite holiday romances.

I have seen a lot of discourse regarding Katabasis

I have seen a lot of discourse regarding Katabasis where one either enjoyed their reading experience, or they didn’t. Having not read any of Kuang’s other works, my only expectation was that: 1) it’s probably going to be too smart for me, and 2) I was going to enjoy it.

It did end up being too smart for me. However, despite it being very academic, and very close to reading like a textbook in some places, I still enjoyed it. Yes, I enjoyed every minute I spent in hell.

The thing with Katabasis is it’s more than Alice and Peter’s descent to hell to get their professor back. It’s a person taking advantage of another. It’s sexism. It’s the decision to move forward, even when you no longer want to. It’s the shattering of a belief. It’s realizing you have placed someone undeserving on a pedestal.

Not gonna lie though, I was hoping for a different ending… but that’s just me.
