Reading Update #10

December 4, 2022

Recently Finished

BOOKS

Understanding Chinese Fantasy Genres by Jeremy Bai

First Read

Edition: Paperback

Final Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.25

Final Thoughts: I'm not gonna lie, when I saw the synopsis for this I was hopeful this may be a somewhat in-depth guide to elements of those three genres (wuxia, xianxia, xuanhuan) and the background to them. Alas, it wasn't, but I still learned some things I didn't know before, so it was still worth it. 💪🏻

Currently Reading

BOOKS

The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan and Maureen Johnson (with illustrations by Cassandra Jean)

Re-Read

Edition: Paperback

Progress: 350/507

Thoughts: Damn, I completely forgot how hard The Fall of the Hotel Dumort hits, seeing Camille and the other vampires so affected by the cocaine in their prey's blood. 😰 Also Raphael's story is so interesting between his snark, his self-deprication and his absolute love and loyalty for his family to the point where he practically tortures himself to make sure he won't be a danger to them. I love him very much.

The Princess Bride by William Goldman

First Read

Edition: Paperback

Progress: 62/399

Thoughts: I'm really enjoying The Bane Chronicles, but I also wanted to read something on the side and since I absolutely loved the Princess Bride movie, I figured why not just pick up the book? 😋 The introductory part about the author was a bit boring, to be honest, I prefer the way it was set up in the movie, but now that the story really started rolling, it's really fun.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Re-Read

Edition: Paperback

Progress: 92/375

Thoughts: This is a buddy read with my roomie/bestie who is reading it for the first time ever. I've been so in the mood to re-read the series lately and I'm really excited we finally are. 😋 Just as good as I remember. 💯

As always, DNFs and my backlog are under the cut.

DNF'd

BOOKS

This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone

First Read

Edition: ebook

Stopped reading at: Page 21/181

DNF'd because: It's not at all that I didn't like what I was reading so far, I just realized very quickly that this was the wrong time for me to try and pick it up. I wanted to read something that was on the shorter side and quick to get through, but I underestimated the prose of the writing style. It just doesn't work for me right now. I will probably pick it up another time when the stars are better aligned, so this is going back on my TBR. (Btw, this was not part of my Kindle challenge, I started reading this book through Scribd)
