I've done a fair amount of reading this week, although most of it is still in progress.
What I Finished Reading This Week
Your Island – Jon Klassen
Being one volume of a new trilogy by the author. These books are for very young readers (or more precisely, read-to'ers) and thus lack the at times ominous whimsy of his other volumes, but not!ominous Klassen whimsy is just as delightful, as are his lovely illustrations.
Pocket Rough Guide London – Annie Warren
Yes, my compulsive need to read every page in a book if I read any page from it extends to travel guidebooks, don't judge. The editing was poor in places (although probably not in a noticeable way to someone just dipping in and out of it) but the information was useful and nicely illustrated, especially given its small size.
What I Am Currently Reading
Sistersong – Lucy Holland
I poked at this one ever so slightly this week, but largely set it aside to focus on Pagan Britain.
Pagan Britain – Ronald Hutton
I'm inhaling 70 to 100 pages of this dense book a day, helped in large part by having put myself on a total news blackout, and I'll definitely finish it by tomorrow morning if not tonight.
What I'm Reading Next
This week I acquired Triads by Poppy Z. Brite and Christa Faust, no. 244 of 250 signed by both authors, for an obscenely small amount of money at the local charity book popup.
これで以上です。
