December Wrap Up Part One!

[@BookishAdventuresInWellbeing]

Great wrap up! You’re so funny when you don’t love a book! Books and islands sounds great, I’ll look into that one.

I try not to be too harsh but it does annoy me when books are bad 😂😂 Books and Islands is great, would love to hear your thoughts if you do get to it!

I got a book of Icelandic sagas that were of the historical/founding of Iceland type, and it got old fast. I think I want to shift and read the mythic sagas instead. I've been meaning to read some NK Jemisin - I did *not* like The City We Became, but I think maybe that just wasn't the place to start. I've still been wanting to try the Broken Earth trilogy, or maybe I should start with this Duology? Have you read both, and if so what would you recommend. I'm actually glad to hear Don Quixote was disappointing all the way through. I've gotten like 14 chapters in in the past before putting it aside - the episodic nature was already getting to me. I keep hearing people say they loved it - like all 1000 pages of that??? I think I'll appreciate its contributions and call it good.

The mythic epics are way more fun! I would definitely recommend the Broken Earth trilogy to go to next - it's been my favourite of hers so far (but was also my first so maybe that could have a hand in it!) So would definitely be a good sounding board for whether you'd like her other work or if she's not for you 😊 Let me be the person to confirm you are not missing out on Don Quixote 😂😂 I am very happy for people who loved it but truly I don't know why!!!
