I’ve re-read the first Harry Potter. It’s been so long since I last read it. I felt that it really wasn’t poorly written. Sure it’s a children’s book but i looked reading it. And I’ve started reading flatland

Are there people out there that say it’s poorly written? That’s just not the case at all. It’s a very well-writte book, and that really does help when you dive back in to re-read it after a while.

I guess it’s just a couple people i know IRL that keep insisting that Harry Potter is poorly written. Maybe they’re just upset at the little world building inconsistencies with the Time-Turner and what not, and are not thinking about the language side of things.

A few Animorphs and the Well of Ascension. I have a few active challenges on Storygraph.

Oh hey fellow Animorphs fan! I just found and bought the first ten of the original prints, I’m so excited to have them again.

I love Storygraph. Way better than Goodreads imo.

I have read Our Revolution by Bernie Sanders.

I can recommend it to anyone who are interested in the politics of US. Bernie talked about the main problems in the US. He talked about discrimination, the corruption, populism, wealth distribution and the negative effect of far capitalism overall.

The best bit of the book in my opinion, that you will understand why’s the society so against socialism’s ideas, even if it would significantly improve their life in many cases.

  • Always Coming Home - Ursula K. LeGuin - I absolutely loved this book. I’m still keep thinking about the Kesh people that this book explores. Very strange read, absolutely recommended.

  • The Fifth Season - N K Jemisin - Really enjoyed this book. The way it uses perspective was really great. The ending felt okay. I’m definitely going to be picking up the next one sometime soon.


Currently reading Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer, which has been a fascinating read thus far, but I’m only halfway through.

After that I’m planning on reading Among Others by Jo Walton (I loved her Thessaly series)

I just finished No Longer Human last night. Haven’t breezed through a book like that in quite awhile!
