What have you recently finished reading?

I haven’t actually been reading a lot, it’s been a pretty bad start to the year on that front — I’ve been busy, preparing for some time off I want to take by working ahead, and cleaning the house for a landlord inspection, and starting the new raid tier in Final Fantasy XIV! But I did make some time last night to read the seventh volume of the Cat + Gamer manga, which was cute as ever.

What are you currently reading?

I have a few books on the go concurrently, but mostly the same as last week because things aren’t really moving. The last in-progress book I actually opened was Helen Gordon’s The Meteorites, which I’m finding interesting but a bit slow, and also kinda anxiety-making just because thinking on the scale of meteorites and deep time makes me feel very, very small.

I do have a volume of Solo Leveling on the go as well, and I suspect that’ll be my best route back into settling into books again, since I find it very soothing. (Despite, you know, all the monsters and battles.)

What will you read next?

My wife got me a few more volumes of the Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint manhwa to keep my brain occupied while awaiting a dental appointment for a broken filling (I have a phobia of dentists), so that’ll probably give me some easy reading while I’m coping with the busy time! Other than that, I don’t know for now what I’m likely to read, though Dungeon Crawler Carl is past due at the library…

(I find it funny how similar the premise is to books like Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. Clearly my reading is themed lately, despite the different cultures the books come from and different formats!)
