The Bewitching
Sylvia Moreno-Garcia
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Every Moreno-Garcia book becomes my new fave and The Bewitching is no different. Three stories intertwined from 1900s Mexico to a Massachusetts uni in the 1930s and 1990s at the same school. There are witches everywhere and they're up to no good.

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil
V.E. Schwab
⭐⭐⭐
Another YA-leaning vampire saga. I liked it, though it got very repetitive with the descriptions of blood sucking and victims dying. Would have been better with a better editor. There are two characters called Sabine, so that helped.

Martyr
Kaveh Akbar
⭐⭐
The story of Cyrus Shams just never clicked with me. Akbar writes in an intriguing voice but the beautiful prose just didn't help me connect. I'm pretty sure this is a me problem and maybe my state of mind at the time I was reading Martyr wasn't optimal.

Tried to set up a UPS shipment of a gift to my daughter in the US and filling out the "commercial invoice" to determine the tariff was both byzantine and enraging. The US government wants her to pay $40 in customs to receive it. (maybe more?) The current admin can fuçk all the way off.

Does this surprise anyone?
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."
