It has been a while. I have been pretty, and haven’t been around much.

As for the books, I am still in the same place, reading Book 2 of Confederation The Better Part of Valour by Tanya Huff. Though I did spend some time reading a web novel, Book Eater, author is 메켄로 and translator is RainbowTurtle.

What about all of you? Which books have you been reading or listening lately?

        My daughter said Fourth Wing and Iron Flame were pretty frustrating with the betrayal/misunderstanding thing lasting like 500 pages. Do you feel like it was worth the read?

          I have iron flame but definitely needed a break after fourth wing. The book was good but I agree that there was a lot of unnecessary drama.

            Hmm. I’ve worked in a high school for the past couple of years, and I feel like my tolerance for melodrama in books is lower than it used to be since I hear melodramatic stories in real life almost every day. I think I’ll pass on this one until more books come out to see if it’s worth it.

            Thanks for your response!!!

      Hmm… a debut novel, finalist for various awards, and compared to Hunger Games.

      Going to add it to my list.
