Good morning, folks! It feels like it’s been a quiet week, but I really haven’t done nearly enough reading to suit me. Still, Wyrd and Wonder has kicked off, and there’s plenty of books ahead…
New books:
A queer retelling of King Arthur and a book I’ve been wanting for months?! Yep, my Litsy swap partner for the Mythology and Legends swap spoiled me good. <3
Books read this week:
Reviews posted this week:
–The Undefeated, by Una McCormack. I found this a little slow and prone to reminiscing about rather than telling the story, if that makes sense. 3/5 stars
–City of Ghosts, by Victoria Schwab. Rather too simplistic and middle-gradey for me, though I’m sure it’s a great read for the right audience. 3/5 stars
Other posts:
–Wyrd and Wonder Reading List. And I’ve been dared to/bet that I can’t read all of these by the end of May, so watch out!
–WWW Wednesday. The usual update post!
Out and about:
–NEAT science: ‘Vaccination safety.‘ Don’t worry, I’m not advocating against vaccines — the opposite! — but I was asked whether getting an extra MMR booster could harm you. (Answer: almost definitely not, but consult with your doctor who knows your individual health status.)
–NEAT science: ‘Pandas are not a stupid idea.‘ Really! They’re really well adapted to a bamboo diet, despite common misconceptions.
–Once Upon A Blue Moon: ‘Fire & Flame.’ Another short story written to go with a bookmark I stitched!
So what’ve you been up to this week?
Happy Saturday! I’m home at last after the unplanned extension to my trip to Copenhagen, so I better spend the weekend getting to grips with this event I’m meant to be co-hosting 😉

Hurrah for being home! <3
Got my first Yoon Ha Lee book this week, looking forward to it! 🙂
Ooh, which one?
I love Pandas! They seem to have such fun personalities!
They do look so cuddly and bumbly, too!
Curious to see what you’ll make of Once & Future. It was a little too scattered for my tastes, but it was great fun.
I look forward to trying it!
