lol not us having the opposite desires for romance, because you want endless angst and pining and I love seeing people with genuine compatibility and the sweet moments
You're on the cusp of where Vorkosigan Saga goes from fun to absolutly steller. Two out of three of the Boarders of Infinity stories are amazing. Brothers in Arms is good but a bit of throwback because it was on the earlier books she wrote. And then Mirror Dance, Memory, and Civil Campaign are all near perfect books.
I have no guilt. Spoiler tags are the best indirect peer pressure method. I am using your day in the life video as bait for working out. I also found Radiance very flat line levels of it's good but fine, so you aren't alone. Hope you are enjoying your novella weekend!
Angel of Indian Lake was so good😭such a fantastic trilogy and thank god for the long acknowledgments the Phineas & Ferb mention was very unexpected so it gave me a good laugh to help recover from the devastation 🎈now I’m reading How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler💙
I’m reading vols. 7-12 of the manga “THE GIRL FROM THE OTHER SIDE”. I’m at 25/30 books for a 30-in-30 run by Shae, Izzy, and Ashley this month (April 2024) so I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get my first ever 30/30! Also, because of this video, I am currently reading SHARDS OF HONOR which I got from my library 😊
I also found Radiance to be just fine when I read it a few years ago, so I don't think you'll miss much even if you end up fully dnf-ing it 🤷♀ But glad to hear you're enjoying everything else that you are currently reading! 😁 🏀🏀🏀
So happy you're feeling better this week! Radiance is one of my favourites but I definitely agree it's one you have to be in the mood for. Not a ton of tension and just sweet!
@@LiteratureScienceAlliance Hahaha noo! I get that! I have read romances where I thought this relationship is too healthy and I'm bored. What's wrong with me? 😂
You said you were going to do a Why You Should Read for the trilogy! 🤣 In all seriousness, if I ever get over this reading funk I've been in for the past two months and finally finish Gorgmengast by Mervyn Peake, I will start Angel of Indian Lake. 🏀
@@natasagajic1061 I would recommend it, especially if "gothic fantasy" is appealing! The way he writes and tells his stories, it seems meandering between characters and settings, but it comes all together at the end (at least of Titus Groan, but it seems the same for Gormenghast so far!). Peake's prose is very rich so it does take ALL my brain power to process. Haha!

Sounds like a really solid reading week with some favorite authors. I was amused at the Glossary in The Kingdom of Gods too. 😂

It might be a case of it being too sweet for me, but maybe one day I will be in the mood for that!
@@LiteratureScienceAlliance That is also fair - being in the mood for something sweet and relatively drama-free would likely help with the enjoyment ☺

I do think sometimes I am weird when sweet doesn’t land for me 😅

I can do both!!
Best of luck with the reading funk
Are you enjoying Gorgmengast? Would you recommend it? 👀
I have been intrigued by that series by quite some time - it sounds so weird and cool
