I think I need to get in paperback, reading from the library is the wrong mode

Are you doing ebook/audiobook?
I did a paper copy and it was very satisfying.
I was doing overdrive ebook on a laptop. I think I tried a couple of years ago with a big library hardcover, but that was when I was trying to survive a gaslighting boss, so is not fair to measure based on that attempt

Remember You Will Die by Eden Robins. A story told in obituaries. Explores grief, art, life and death, what it means to be human. A little bit sci fi. I loved the way the story threads reveal themselves through seemingly unrelated obituaries.

This is fun!
I finally finished the Expanse, was immediately devastated it was over and started reading the first book again. So happy to have more time to read again, although I haven’t gotten back into a consistent daily habit yet

Ooh, I picked up steam in August and actually finished some books. My toxic trait is always having a goal to read 100 books but never having an actual plan to accomplish this.

It’s a short story anthology! I would be happy with any of them made into a full length book/series. I think only 2 or 3 are related to the Scholomance and Temeraire series, the rest are new

Yes! IIRC there is 1 Scholomance and 2 Temeraire and one of them is ELIZABETH BENNET. Also a story evidently set in the world of her next novel, which comes out later this month!

In related news, I started the first Scholomance book again last night and my husband had to remind me to go to bed at like 1 am 
I have read this book like 4 times already! My brain is not helping my overall health here.
I don’t think I realized there was a new novel! Yay!

a third of the way through Sofia Samatar’s The White Mosque, which is a reflective story about a group of Mennonites who fled Russia to central Asia, following a charismatic leader’s prophesy of the 2nd coming, her travels with a group of Mennonites who are retracing the path, and her personal experience as the child of a Swiss Mennonite and a Somali Muslim raised within the US Mennonite community. (The White Mosque of the title is what the locals called the Mennonite’s church in that town.)
If that doesn’t draw you in, I’m not sure what else to say. It’s meditative, interspersing chapters about the world of the pilgrims, the tour group, and her general musings, all caught with little hooks and parallels between them. I’d love to hear other people be more articulate about their response to it.

That sounds good. And my library has it.

got to ~page 250 of Persephone Station and the setup for the next big fight seemed really really familiar.
This morning decided to check Storygraph. Apparently I read it in Nov 2021 (~2 months before I quit my job). I thought I had taken it out of the library and not actually read it.
