On Reading
Dec. 3rd, 2023 03:58 pmOne of the biggest signs for me that I'm feeling more like myself is that I'm reading again. Having barely touched a book in weeks, I've finished 2 in the last week.
The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
I'm not quite sure I understand the hype for this book. Was it good? yes. Was it amazing? No.
I found the characters poorly conceived and difficult to tell apart - and I didn't care about any of them, I found the story a little predictable and I have no great urge to get the next one
Weyward by Emilia Hart
Wonderful writing and storytelling and a completely gripping book. I loved the characters, and the way the stories of the three women across the centuries was weaved together was done very skillfully
I've also jumped feet first into AO3. I've recently discovered the
stargateficrec community and I'm working my way through some of the various categories and devouring fic. Right now I'm working on the Sam & Daniel friendship fics and finding some lovely gen/team fic
I've also been really enjoying a lot of the Whumptober fics from a few months ago - and it seems Whumpcember is also a thing and a lot more Jack and/or Daniel whump is getting posted which is wonderful.
