#I love reading books at the same time as my grandma #we’ve finished reading the watch books together (or rather I finished reading them out loud TO her over WhatsApp)#so now we need something new #I told her hey let’s read the Witches series next you’ll love it! she said yes absolutely!#and now we’re simultaneously reading Napoleonic wars but with dragons #and as far as I understand it’s M&C fan fic but with dragons #I’m. im gonna finish my book first though??#and I’ll see if the library has these books #I don’t like reading digitally shit hurts my eyes #temeraire #I guess I’m reading this next?!#it kinda gives me (just from quickly reading the wiki description) master and commander and dr strange and mr norell vibes #my grandma is actually hilarious #she planned this out - she never wanted to read the Aubrey Maturin books but she didn’t wanna be rude so she found a loophole #it’s my theory at least #aubreyad #she’s more of a Jane Austen girlie #and I only JUST read persuasion (I liked it)#I was really looking forward to introducing her to the Discworld witches tho #but I’m so busy and she refuses to read discworld without me because ‘you always do the voices and I like the voices!’#i 100% do all the voices #im a voice actor ffs #also it’s fun #but I think I’ve ruined her reading experience BECAUSE I do the voices #rip
