Hello! Firstly, I’d like to say that if you were waiting on the February short stories review post, it’s coming! I have it in a word document as a draft but things are pretty frantic right now and I’m going to carve up some time this weekend to post it! Am examining an MA dissertation, … Continue reading Language Learning Notes 03/03/2022
So, the last post had me musing that maybe I could start a new series — though I won’t be sharing EVERY philosophy thing I’ve been reading because some are for research and I’ve learned the hard way not to share too much of my research online before publication. For now, I’ll just note that … Continue reading φιλοσοφία Notes 19/02/2022
As promised in Scriptorium Mythica, I’m resuming blogging about language and chess. I do have offline logs at least for Latin, which is the language I am learning the most seriously at this point, but it’s nice to have this be a part of this particular blog. Monthly! Latin: I had about five classes. They … Continue reading Language-Learning (and apparently Philosophy) Notes 19/02/2022
Seems too numerically lovely a date not to have any blog post! Books I completed reading in January: A Court of Thorns and Roses — Sarah J Maas (23/01/2022) The Blue Salt Road – Joanne M Harris (18/01/2022) The Fifth Season — N.K Jemisin (17/01/2022) The Eye of the World — Robert Jordan (6/01/2022) Books I’m … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 02/02/2022
I’ve been meaning to do this for awhile. But it seems like whenever I did short fiction lists on twitter, I ran out of steam. I also did year end lists on the main website but those builds crashed. Twice. Ill-fated indeed. So, I’m just going to quietly do these monthly lists for as long … Continue reading Short Fiction I’ve Enjoyed in January 2022
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
