Had a lovely 5 mile run in DC - cherry blossom season may be past its peak, but there are still tons of flowers out and about!

Managed to get through 8 books in March - despite The Bat, Pure Innocent Fun, and Sure I'll Join Your Cult being pretty short, they seemed to take an inordinate amount of my time (they were also not in my preferred Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre, which might be part of it!)

Did a slow slow 4.5ish mile run to see the cherry blossoms with my partner - the crowds are terrible but the blossoms are worth it!

Just finished (and LOVED) Water Moon when I got the Libby alert that this hold came through! Super excited to read - Tchaikovsky’s sci-fi has always been incredibly inventive and fun!

Based off the cover and a bit of the summary I was expecting “Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Boomshop” but it’s turning more like Piranesi meets Spirited Away and I’m really enjoying it! 💙📚

What I read in February - The Way of Kings took up a lot of my time, as expected, and probably accounts for 40% of my pages read! It was a good month for fantasy, but there were two novels (SBTS and Scythe) that I decided not to continue on with the series (assuming SBTS has future books) 💙📚
