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.

Finished reading: Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao
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?!

Movie night: Jurassic Park (1993) dir. Steven Spielberg.
Another all time favourite of mine, despite the fact it scared the absolute beans out of me when I was a kid!

Had a lot of fun with this one, especially now Drizzt is away from Drow society and finding his place in the world.

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!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5/5
Exciting and dynamic. The last 50 pages had me on the edge of my seat, can't wait for the sequel later this year.
