Currently reading: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke.
So far, it's poetic and immersive but I don't quite know what's going on. I'm willing to keep going to either get answers or just enjoy the writing.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5/5
Wu Zeitan's rage and thirst for vengeance practically burns off of the page. Feels very apt for current times. When does the next book come out?!

Another all time favourite of mine, despite the fact it scared the absolute beans out of me when I was a kid!

Movie night: Pacific Rim (2013) dir. Guillermo del Toro.
One of my all time favourite films, so much so it's one of things I turn to when I need comfort. No matter what happens, the apocalypse will be cancelled!

The most I have is 2 at a time, usually in different formats. I find if I try to read more than that, I start confusing plots and details between the various books!
