I just finished The Hobbit and I've moved onto reading some of the random things I have on my Kobo. Currently, that is 'Some Thoughts on Education' by John Locke... hilariously outdated in parts, but quite prescient in others.

Those books are so great ! I think I loved "Harrow The Ninth" and "Nona the Ninth" even more than the first book. I can't wait for the fourth one to come out.

I'm currently reading "House of Niccolo" by Dorothy Dunnett. It's the prequel to one of my favourite series, the Lymond Chronicles.
It's set in 15th century Europe, Russia and middle East. It's great?.

Currently reading two books. Plagues and Peoples by William H McNeil and Blood Music by Greg Bear. I've been reading a lot of fiction this year so I thought I would switch it up with a nice dense but short information book like Plagues and Peoples. I'm halfway through Blood Music and it's quite a story, for anyone who is interested in sci-fi it's a good book to check out.

Currently reading Bridgerton's books, I'm on the second one, The Viscount Who Loved Me

Fiction-wise I'm reading The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov in English, and I'm also slowly but surely working through a collection of Daniil Kharms in Russian to practice my language.

Just started re-reading my favourite sci-fi/ fantasy series from my teens The Obernewtyn Chronicles by aussie auther Isobelle Carmody... I forgot how much I loooooove the story, I can't get enough.


Stolen from wiki: The Obernewtyn Chronicles is a series of books that has a post apocalyptic setting, and depicts a world long after its destruction by a global nuclear holocaust.

The series' protagonist, Elspeth Gordie, is a young girl with mental powers condemned by the series' main antagonists, the governing body, known as the council, and the religious authority, the Herder Faction. The novels deal with themes of responsibility, duty, prejudice, discrimination, tolerance, and human and animal rights.

I just started reading 'Can't Hurt Me' by David Goggins. A friend recommended it to me and I'm a fan of DG's motivational vids on YT so l insta bought it.

I started reading Why Fish Don't Exist a few months ago, but I was taking it slow and at this point it's been a couple of months so I might need to start fresh. It's really good but aspects of it hit a little too close to home, mostly in a really broad sense, but it's inspiring (for lack of better word), so I really do want to finish it.

Reading Crime & Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Reading Crime & Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

omg me too!!! tbh it's one of my favorites of what i'm currently reading.
my other current reads include:
- house of leaves
- harry potter and the goblet of fire (note: i do not agree with or support jkr in any way, this is more out of curiosity and with a critical lens)
- the fellowship of the ring (other favorite, but it's so verbose that i need to work myself up to reading it)
- a court of thorns and roses

i started most of these at the beginning of the year, when i had the mental fortitide to read for leisure every night. but then academia happened, and i got worn out with all the journal article reading i've had to do, and am now slowly working towards finishing them.
i have a goodreads goal of finishing 12 books a year, and have currently finished... 1 am hoping to catch up by finishing those and a couple more by the end of this summer, before i have a full course load again.
