violsvaNext year I may deliberately plan to only reread from December to February. Things are starting to feel much less like I'm fighting my way through molasses.
Recent: As well as fanfiction, The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor was very well done and exactly what it wanted to be.
Read Statistics Without Tears: An Introduction for Non-Mathematicians by Derek Rowntree, very much recommended if that's what you want, I actually wanted combinatorics. And a little more math rather than mindset.
I also read a couple chapters of Georgette Heyer's The Corinthian to check voice for the Hell of the Ball, but didn't really feel the need to keep going. I don't have any nostalgia associated with Heyer so I tend to notice her flaws more than, say, Christie's.
Current: Almost done D&D's Worlds & Realms. I suspect I would find Mordenkainen a lot more irritating if I had not first been exposed to Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. Also Jeannie Lin's novella Capturing the Silken Thief.
Started listening to Re: Carmilla, which is a really good performance. Every time I forget just how soon and how hard Le Fanu goes on the lesbianism.
Future: After Re: Carmilla finishes I will reread this lovely (dark dark dark) fic thatbreathedout wrote for me for Yuletide 8 years ago.
A bunch of holds on books I started in January and didn't finish are going to come in sometime in April, so we'll see if those do better without the SAD. Hopefully they'll come in before the advance polls, which I will be working.
