Weekly Roundup: Week 4

[opensummer]

What I’m doing: Watching the thunderstorms roll in off the ocean. I’ve always loved watching storms in flat places.
What I’m reading: Finished the Goblin Emperor which is just as good as I’ve been lead to believe, and read the Dark Artifices trilogy for the canon poly trio. It was pretty standard Cassandra Clare but I feel like her writing has improved since the last time I read anything of hers.
What I’m listening to: Studio Ghibli Jazz Covers which sounds absurd when I write it out like that but makes for excellent background noise. 
What I’m watching: The Expanse, now halfway through season 3 and oh boy do I have Thoughts. Gonna do a writeup sometime this week.
What I’m writing: 

• A breakdown on reading order in Discworld. 1k and counting. 
• Untitled Leverage/AoS xo where Hardison is Skye's foster brother. Set mid-season 2 for AoS. .5k and yet to develop an actual plot. 
• history's longest suicide note. Edited chapters 4 & 5 and working on chapter 6

Mental Health Check: 5/10. Upward swing y'all. 
Final Notes: My power got knocked out for six hours yesterday and I lit candles around the apartment, drank a bottle of wine, and finished the Queen of Air and Darkness while listening to the wind whip across the windows.

I am really looking forward to the Leverage/AoS xo. 💕

Hurray for finishing The Dark Artifices! Canon poly trio makes everything worthwhile; that and Thule!Livvy imho.

I'm so glad you're doing well, you rock!

I adore The Goblin Emperor.

I read Discworld almost entirely in publication order and it was fun.

Yey for mental health upward swing!

And I look forward to your Thoughts on The Expanse :-)
