Year's End Round-Up Post
Dec. 31st, 2021 12:26 pm My favorite reads of 2021:
Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath by Heather Clarke
The Poppy War series by R.F. Kuang
Slight Exaggeration by Adam Zagajewski
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
The Twelve Caesars by Mary Beard
A ton of fanfic
Best TV:
I only consumed dramas, Marvel, and Witcher, really. Lovestruck in the City was almost definitely the best kdrama though, with The Witcher S2 in a narrow lead over Falcon and the Winter Soldier for American stuff.

Honestly what even was 2021? What is time? Stuff happened? If I just zip through the year on my phone it was all dogs and cats which makes it seem so much better though.
Happy New Year!
Jan. 5th, 2021 02:58 pmI thought I had posted this earlier, but I had not. So HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I didn't have the energy to do a round-up post for the end of the year. "I did stuff. I did not do things I wanted to do. I am tired."
I am back to work this week and doing my best. Right now it helps that a lot of people are still on vacation so my email inbox has been managable. Tiny victories. I'll take 'em.
