This post contains spoilers about The Eye of The World and the entire eight episodes of the Amazon miniseries. I’ve been meaning to reread The Wheel of Time for several years now but the thing that clinched the deal for me was the trailer for the miniseries — which I enjoyed eventually with mixed feelings. … Continue reading The Wheel Of Time Grand Re/Read #1
Today’s the last day of my two-week “vacation” at home. Tomorrow, the first working day of the year (`sif I haven’t been working on work stuff at home because academic vacation, amirite) begins, and I thought I’d post in here a little earlier than I’d planned, simply because I have things to share! I’m… a … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 09/01/2022
This is probably my last post here for the year. It’s not been that great of a year for finishing the reading of novels, but I’ve achieved a lot of other stuff. Currently rereading The Lord of the Rings trilogy for the course I’m running, The Wheel of Time (Eye of the World) because of … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 05/12/2021
MA/PHD dissertation chapters? Articles I’m peer-reviewing? Other articles I’m adding to my own articles? *droll look* Apart from that, I finished Brian Jacques’s Outcast of Redwall because I was co-writing an article with my PhD student and fell into a Redwall rabbit hole (ha ha). I also read a couple of extremely smutty books by … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 11/10/2021
I figured I should keep to doing this once a month. Mostly I’ve been reading and grading assignments but when I’m not doing that, I’m reading books for articles I am writing/co-writing/revising. I’ve also read some short fiction I really enjoyed, particularly in the August issue of Clarkesworld Magazine (Check out A Thousand Tiny Gods … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 13/08/2021
It’s been a very busy week, and I’ve been juggling so many things while under the Pfizer side effects. Which, all’s said and done weren’t too bad but this fatigue is something else. Hope it clears by Monday. I didn’t take any leave and in fact have been doing so much supervision, consultation, attending meetings. … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 17/07/2021
I haven’t really been updating any of my blogs because I’ve been so busy, and stressed — trying to catch up on deadlines while feeling I’m working while trapped in jello. Even the thought of updating my blogs made me feel guilty because I should be doing other things. But, it’s time to keep this … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 9/07/2021
Hullo, First actual book post of the year! I have been mostly reading a lot of academic stuff for my research, and sheet music, but I thought I’d better update this before many more months pass! In short, I am reading way more than in 2020, this list doesn’t include stacks of cookbooks, and academic … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 28/03/2021
I managed to finish two books while I was in the hospital, yay. Currently reading: Everfair — Nisi Shawl On Beauty — Zadie Smith (this is my outside book aka book I won’t read inside of the house because of fear of COVID cooties. Which is a pity because it’s really good and I’m jonesing … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 20/10/2020
Fully a month since I started this blog, so I decided another of these posts was necessary even if I’ve been reading more sheet music and literary theory/academic articles than novels. On Beauty — Zadie Smith Finally properly reading and enjoying this one. House of Salt and Sorrows — Erin A. Craig Enjoying the Gothic … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 10/08/2020
