  • I finished the short stories in my copy of I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. Some of them haven’t aged that well but overall I found most of them enjoyable.

    I read Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. This book was absolutely amazing. If you want a short, atmospheric fantasy I highly recommend. I think this is a book I’ll return to routinely.

    Now I’m reading Educated by Tara Westover. It’s a memoir about her growing up in a survivalist family in rural Idaho. She was not enrolled in school and didn’t even have a birth certificate for many years. I’m not very far in yet but it is fascinating and very easy to read.



  • I finally finished The Wheel of Time series! I took forever to get through the last book, longer than with any of the slog books, but I’m so happy to be done. I do wish the last book was more satisfying. It just felt very different in tone from the rest, partly I think due to Sanderson running out of source material. But there was still a lot I enjoyed across the whole series, so I don’t regret putting the time into it.

    I finished I Am Legend by Richard Matheson last night. My copy of the book contains a bunch of short stories by the author as well, so now I am reading through those. He is very effective at writing short, impactful horror.
