However we simply had the fireside in our new home repaired, so I’ve been spending a whole lot of time curled up in a fuzzy blanket in entrance of a heat fireplace, studying nice books. It’s pretty.
The solar will return finally after which there might be enjoyable issues to do, however for now I’m leaning into the hibernation vibes and taking numerous time to relaxation and recharge.
How is 2024 treating you to date?

What I’m studying
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.
I learn this whole ebook yesterday from begin to end. Not solely is it precisely my kind of ebook – fantasy romance with dragons and a robust lady protagonist – the creator has the identical uncommon genetic connective tissue dysfunction as me (hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) and so does Forth Wing’s essential character.
The world undoubtedly seems like a contemporary reimagining of iconic fantasy basic The Dragonriders of Pern however with fewer sexual consent points and fewer home violence (no shaking of ladies). There’s journey, intrigue, and superior dragons who every bond to a rider and have the power to speak with that rider mind-to-mind.
I used to be actually shaken by how a lot it meant to me to learn a ebook a couple of character whose physique works the identical method mine does. Apparently that’s one thing that I used to be craving so deeply that I wasn’t even consciously conscious of it. I’m undoubtedly trying ahead to ebook two.
Honest warning: this ebook feels like YA, however the intercourse scenes are just a little extra on-page motion than I affiliate with YA. There are solely a few them, however the spice stage places on the identical shelf as ACOTAR slightly than The Starvation Video games.
