So from what I've been reading lately: mostly so-called romantasy. 5 books T.M. Cromer Thorne Wiches latest. Do I recommend? No, not exactly. Why have I read so many of those books? I have no idea. Something to do with summer and don't want to think too much. The first two I did some sort of opinion on Goodreads. Of the rest I didn't bother.
I actually wish to find good romantic dantasy. Where characters and plot makes some sence.
My next read is non-fiction, and very much a period piece. A White Texan 'blacks up' and travels the deep south USA in 1959 to 'experience the life of a working-class Black man'. Not something which would be acceptable today, of course, but investigative journalism of a school we rarely see nowadays. And Malcolm X contributed a quote for the cover, so that's good enough for me. š #books#bookstodon@bookstodon
I read the second half of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August quickly yesterday. It was very well written, but I felt like if I dwelt too much on detail, the suspension of disbelief would collapse. I always did have the same problem with Doctor Who, tbh. š #books#bookstodon@bookstodon

Spending a lot of time in the fantasy world lately: Earlier this week I wrapped up the audio of The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean, which took longer than expected because I had to replace my good Pixel Buds. Now I'm onto Roses and Rot by Kat Howard and Locke & Key Vol 4: Keys to the Kingdom by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez.
