I'm doing a reading challenge that seems realistic and not at all stressful. Got two books out of 24 down already, so I’m pretty happy. I’ve been reading a bunch of essays and poems since last December-- the most recent one is John Berger’s Confabulations mostly cause I used to read John Berger back at uni and I am nostalgic. There’s also Rupi Kaur’s Milk and Honey, which I don’t particularly like. I don't want to sound like a snob but it's very... basic. Motivational poster blandness and I was a bit disappointed.
Fiction-wise, I’m back to my fantasy stuff. I’ve also recently finished Katherine Arden’s The Bear and the Nightingale, and The Princess in the Tower. I loved both equally. They mix Russian folklore with a historical background back when Russia was ruled by flighty princes, religion and the Mongol horde. I am now starting Renee Andieh's The Wrath and the Dawn. I don't know much about it except it's cover is really pretty!
