Back to reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). Only read couple of pages, but things are setting down so should be getting back to reading more.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I just finished The Philosophy of the catcher in the rye - super interesting, really enjoyed it.

Reading; Red Comment, Heather Clark - biography of Sylvia Plath. Thoroughly enjoying it, though "enjoying" feels like the wrong word due to the heavy topics it goes into.

Also reading Animorphs K.A Applegate. Nostalgic read and a nice, easy one to pick up when I need something less intense. Up to the 12th book!

And a couple of poetry books on the go; Beautiful Chaos - Robert Drake (eh, it's okay), All Dogs Are Good - Courtney Peppernell (fantastic! Will definitely read more of her stuff!) and Ariel - Sylvia Plath (a re-read as I know most of them already but interesting to read with the extra insight of the biography).

    I’ve been thinking of doing an Animorphs read again. I read them as a kid and I remember really enjoying them but I haven’t read them since. They were one of the books that made me fall in love with science fiction.

    Yeah I remember reading and watching it as a kid but I don't think I ever read or saw all of it so I'm excited to actually see how it develops beyond what I remember! I'm not particularly into sci fi but I did like the teenage alien invasion era back in the 90s/2000s haha.

    I wish I still had the alien story I was writing in old exercise books during class, one of the longest handwritten stories I wrote as a kid and sadly disappeared 😭

    I was already interested in scifi shows because my mom is a Star Trek and Star Wars fan, but Animorphs is what really got me more into it. The show was interesting, I remember it being a bit weird, however I am in the process of downloading it to rewatch. I see the books all the time in thrift stores and I’m tempted to start collecting them for a reread, but I’ve yet to find the first one.

    I hope you are enjoying your other books too!
