starladyWhat I'm reading
Well, technically nothing, because I stayed up finishing Darkest Light last night (technically this morning).
What I've just read
The aforementioned Darkest Light by Hiromi Goto. It was really intense! Like, super intense and vivid--the graphic descriptions of re-enacting murder and suicide were actually kind of tough to get through, and I'm sure that it would be triggering for some. But, by the time I got to the end, I really liked it. I was also reminded in a particular way of A Christmas Carol, in that Gee learns, late but in time, that it's never too late to change. It's only available in Canada, but if you can get your hands on a copy and you liked Half World, I would highly recommend it.
What I'll read next
I'm going to read Hawkeye: Little Hits tonight or tomorrow. I also am planning on reading the last of the Ash books shortly, though I might read some YA first (I have Chime and Bleeding Violet on the shelf) because it's easier on the brain. I'm also really tempted to finally read The Secret Country trilogy in honor of Cassie Clare. And as always I have a ton of borrowed books to get through. No more borrowing books, self! You don't have time for this!
