Hello bookworms!!!
I have been taking things slow and not really feeling the best health-wise but! I have made a good progress with my reading so that’s one good thing to consider, I guess.

Currently Reading
天官赐福, Tiān Guān Cì Fú (Heaven’s Official Blessing) by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu
I am hoping to finish this book as soon as possible. Let’s see how that goes. I have been reading this at a snail’s pace and that worked for me, clearly but now, I feel like I am dragging my feet. I don’t know why. I generally do not have a book on my currently reading list for so long, I guess. Oh, well. Let’s see how it goes. Also, it turns out that I have been using the wrong edition of the book while I was marking my progress so that was a revelation. It turns out there’s a huge omnibus edition (which is the one I own which has all the books) and there’s the single entries in the series. I have been marking my progress with the first entry edition and no wonder I was baffled as to why it was taking me so long to finish off a 600+ pages book. Oh, no. It is actually a 2050 pages book. Go figure.

Recently Finished
The Mask of Mirrors by M. A. Carrick
Ah, if I am being honest, I think this book is gonna be rated lower as the time passes and as I finish writing my review. As it stands, it is currently at around 3.75 stars? I think what I expected and what I read was very different from each other and it clearly affected my rating. I simply didn’t enjoy it as much as I expected and that’s all I should probably say at this point.
Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell
On the opposite end of the spectrum is this book! I only requested it expecting silly tropes and funny characters, it turned that idea on its head with its tropes and characters working so well and having a plot that was paced pretty well! I loved Kiem and Jainan is a cinnamon roll that should be protected at all costs. I loved the political intrigue and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb
Let’s get into this again, shall we? It’s high time. I think I want to finish this trilogy in the first quarter of the year. I am not sure how successful I will be but at least, let’s start it, huh?
