What I’ve Been Reading

April 1, 2015March 29, 2015 Jen Eden1 Comment

I started the year with about 45 books on my 'to be read' list. Well...ok that was the shortened list. Let's call it my 'to be read first' list! I've read 16 since the new year; although they didn't all start on the list, some of them ended up being added by accident...along with another [...]

My little reading buddy is very needy this morning. Not content to curl up next to me in her usual manner, she’s sprawled herself right across my lap. She’s not as small as she thinks she is! 😂
Breakfast in bed makes for a good start to Good Friday. 😉
“I realise how in the ordinariness of the everyday the steadfastness of love is revealed.”
I love fantasy fiction but it often seems like the books that are front and centre in the genre are nearly all penned by white men. One of my reading goals for this year is to consciously seek out fantasy books written by a more diverse range of authors, including those from Global Ethinic Majority, female, LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities. I’ve discovered some great books already but N K Jemisin’s The Killing Moon has really stood out to me so far. The world is vivid and complex in scope, the characters compelling and the writing immersive. It’s one I find myself fully engrossed in, forgetting I’m reading at all and not wanting to put down. I’ve never read any of Jemisin’s work before and had never even heard of her until a few months ago, which feels shameful now I’m experiencing how exquisite her work is. I’m incredibly excited to dive into the rest of her books!
“I am terrified and I am terrible. I am fearful and I am something to be feared.”
Well folks, I don’t know about you but I am finding the world fucking exhausting. But I’m trying not to let that exhaustion get the better of me.
