Picked up How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days from the library for my sibling, and was tempted to steal it. They finished it fast enough to give it to me to read, but now I have to try to finish it pretty fast. I'm enjoying it; very silly. There was only one bed etc etc. I'm interested to see how Sylva engages with the fantasy racism. It seems likely to be a decent deconstruction to me, but I haven't gotten very far yet.
Also considering trying out this cute bookclub next month. My library system has 115 resources related to Georges Simenon but none of them are The Cat, so I don't know how I'll get my hands on it if that's what's chosen. We'll see.
Recently picked up Wrath Goddess Sing from the library. It's a transfemme Achilles, and she is intriguing, but unfortunately I am allergic to atheist characters in my historical fantasy. Like is it in any way out of character, necessarily, for Achilles to say "the gods are either powerless or nonexistent" in the first few pages of the book? No, not really, that kind of hubris is pretty on brand. Still (especially since, you know, her mom is a goddess) it feels to me like the author shitting on her own setting. So I put it down.
Waiting on the first Anita Blake book from the library, because the Silmarillion discord was talking about a crossover and I want some background knowledge on the setting, because the worldbuilding seems interesting. Good? Maybe, maybe not, but interesting.
Also just generally screaming crying throwing up about Fear Me Not by Chthonion. As per usual.
