But now for a reading update, since I haven't done one in ages...I finally finished Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch, after starting it a few weeks ago! The only book I've managed to finish this month.
I enjoyed it, but I preferred the 2nd half of the book over the first half.

Finished this one earlier (my first read of 2025!) and wow, it was so, so good! I can see why it gets so much love! Jean & Locke were amazing!

Oof, just noticed I've done Bookish updates here recently! 🙈
So, I finished Elegy.
Started Excalibur by Peter Gibbons & am 40% of the way through.
And have also started An Ocean of Others by Joshua Scott Edwards. Only 6% of the way through that.

And with that, it's two challenges completed! I'm really pleased because at one point I didn't think I'd manage it! Also, it's the 5th year in a row that I've managed to read 100 books! 🎉🎉

Finished this one last night. I probably wouldn't have picked it up if not for the fact that it completed a prompt for a reading challenge. Saying that, it was a rather interesting read, so I'm glad I picked it up.

And I've just finished it! That was soooo good! It was as good as I hoped it would be! So well written and with some fantastic characters. I loved our three MCs, but Ravi, our favourite oceloe definitely stole the show! Loved that little rascal! 🥰 @inknest.bsky.social

Wow, and just finished it! That was such a wild ride. It had soooo much creepiness! The characters were very well written. I have a complaint though...what did poor Peter do to you, @richardswanauthor.bsky.social?! Poor guy! 💔😢

I've been a little quiet on here, mostly because I've been immersed in this series. I'm 50% of the way through the final book, which I'm sad about because I've loved this series....
