I didn’t mean to go for so long without updating this blog! I’ve read a few things but not as much as I would have liked because of work, life and music practice.

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
First post of shiny new books & reading, language learning and chess blog!

I’ll be posting about my music learning over at Growing Fins, but on this blog I will detail this new journey … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 10/07/2020
