no August book post

[queenlua]

since last time, i started but did not finish:

* The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedua. it wasn't a bad book, but it was a bit dull/slow in the hundred or so pages i read, and then the library started nagging me to return it and i decided i didn't care about it enough to deal with the overdue fines

* Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Geiman. the bits with the angel and the demon were great, and The Tumblr Dot Com would lead you to believe that's the entirety of the book. unfortunately they are a bunch of other bits and i found them interminably dull and overly cute / impressed-with-itself

all the rest of the time i would've spent reading instead went to playing Final Fantasy XII, Elsinore, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. (two of those are 60hr whoppers, you do the math)

oh also basically every weekend has been booked so

yeah!

expect more fun book posts soonish; my weekends are calming down soon & i'm in the middle of My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferante, which is very good so far

omg you're playing FFXII -- i loved that title, such a fun one.:') i've heard a lot of good things about Three Houses thus far, too.

lol i hear you with switch games - i was thinking about selling it right after smash came out since it was just BOTW on there for a while but with what feels like the entire FF library on there+3H+Smash+BOTW sequel? hoooooo

you should liveblog your 3H playthrough fyi, which house are you doing? >:)
