Have loved reading for as long as I can remember. Fantasy (epic and urban) and sci-fi books are my true loves. Actively working to decolonize my bookshelf.

It's sad, I love Discworld... but the last two Witch books just don't grab me. I think a lot of that has to do with how he writes about fat people. Probably like Maskerade I will come back to this at a later date and eventually finish it, but for now I'm going to read something else.

I'm not sure I loved the end of this one. I mean I do adore Discworld with all my heart. But there's a thick, thick line of fatphobia through this book which I really could have done without.

@coucou@bookrastinating.com I'm really excited for the Genki readers to come out because it'll be vocab I definitely know at my level, and good practice for reading. In English I'm a speed reader and definitely look more at the shape of a word vs registering each letter. I'm so, SO far from being able to do that in Japanese. I need to remember to slow down, sound out each individual character.
