inspired by @jemilabe.bsky.social - current reads for the week as I begin my “read books you own” reading challenge:

-“The Empress of Salt and Fortune” by Nghi Vo. Atmospheric and captivating. ebook.

-“How to Keep House While Drowning” by KC Davis. Trying to start my year off right. Audiobook.
“The Empress of Salt and Fortune” by Nghi Vo book cover. Texts below title says “Hugo Award Winner!” And the blurb by Seanan McGuire says “Gorgeous. Cruel. Perfect.” The cover featured illustrations of a rabbit, and three other animals. The colors are black and pinkish red. “How to keep house while drowning” by KC Davis book cover. Subtitle is “a gentle approach to cleaning and organizing.” The cover is a soft blue with delicate white waves interspersed.

What are people reading at the moment? #booksky

I started "The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas" by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis. The translation is fantastic and the book is so witty and funny.
Book cover with a copper mirror that doesn't show anyone except a hand from inside the mirror holding the frame. It says "Penguin Classics" and belo that it says "Machado de Assis - The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas" - Foreword by Dave Eggers. Top right side of the cover it has a small circle with text inside that says "New Translation."
