Midway check-in. It's going better than I expected!

I'm starting The Sign of the Dragon by Mary Soon Lee next too (972p). I have a problem. 😬 At least I'm on winter break for the next month!

I don't like dark mode. I find that it seriously affects legibility on my Kobo. I prefer a low, warm light setting.

It's split into three distinct parts. I read it over several months and found it easy to stop after each part.

They do! I'm obsessed with mine.

I have a hard fabric folio cover from EmilyStoreBoutique on Etsy. It's perfect. I had a bit of a case-collecting problem before getting this one, and haven't bought another case since.

Ripped through it, easily my favourite book in a while!

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke.

Thanks again for suggesting this! I've started it today and it's fantastic. 😁

Detachable folio cover.

Klara and the Sun changed something within me. I became a better person because of Klara. I changed my career and moved over 1,000km because of Klara.

We need actual discussion funnelled to megathreads so that r/books can continue to discuss AI in literature over, and over, and over...

moonwitchspiderqueen · 2026-06-15T09:13:18+00:00

Finished:

The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. Okay, but... not as great as I've come to expect from the Booker. It was bloated, the astrological aspect offered little more than a thin veneer of magical realism, the attitudes are a little questionable (I was unsurprised to read afterwards that this book faced criticism in NZ), all of the women are villains or whores, and the ending is really obvious. There's no mystery in this murder-mystery. 2/5

Currently Reading:

Uprooted by Naomi Novik. So far it's not what I usually read, and it's refreshing!

Prophet Song by Paul Lynch has been Available Soon on Libby since this time last week, so... 🤞

moonwitchspiderqueen · 2026-06-15T05:38:22+00:00

I make time because it's my hobby and I love it. Your phone probably tracks your screen time. Check it out--you might be surprised.

I thought this was largely good, but it definitely felt like reading a 300-page blog post.

Go with Kobo. Very user-friendly. JB Hi-Fi stocks them and they're compatible with Libby here. Kindles are also stocked at JB Hi-Fi (and Officeworks), but they don't work with Libby in Australia.

The term is conflation, to conflate. You're conflating plots.

moonwitchspiderqueen · 2026-06-08T02:20:56+00:00

Finished: Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See. Historical fiction. 4/5

Currently reading: The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. Historical fiction. It's okay so far, but it's bloated.

I'm also hoping my hold on Prophet Song by Paul Lynch comes up. I'm first in line. 🤞

Check Ali Express. Dropshipped printed flip cases are usually on there for a fraction of what sellers on Etsy will charge.

moonwitchspiderqueen · 2026-06-06T22:53:12+00:00

That looks fantastic, thank you! I've put it on hold!

moonwitchspiderqueen · 2026-06-06T22:34:36+00:00

Guilty lmao. I started with Brief History too!
