Let's Get Literate! Magic and Alchemy Edition

[renay]

February is over! I'm sure I will regret my (lack) of reading this month in September but for now I'm pretty happy with it. I'm not going to finish any books before February ends abruptly like it always does, so I will celebrate my stats now!

• Sophia McDougall (Mars Evacuees)
• Karina Sumner-Smith (Radiant)
• Hiromu Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist 1)

I'm blaming February for being short and weird and busy. I'm excited because I liked all these books and all of them are parts of a series so there's more to read. :D I'm at 12/100 — probably time to start some of the novelettes and novellas I've been saving. :)

CHALLENGE: 100 Unique Women Writers

Week 8: I chose Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 1 by Hiromu Arakawa, which I chose to interpret as the universe giving me a break. It was cute! I also finished a book from a previous week, Radiant. Downbelow Station: still in progress. Possibly I should have chosen an easier Cherryh to start with but I'm over halfway through so there's no turning back now. :D

When I pulled the title for Week 9, I laughed out loud because so many people have been on me to read this book. Congratulations, friends! This week's book, presented by Doreen, is A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab.



I'm also reading Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, which is aces so far. Ana is enjoying this week, as I read all the things she's been waving at me for months. :D

• Larklight by Philip Reeve and David Wyatt
• Radiant by Karina Sumner-Smith
• Fullmetal Alchemist Vol. 1 by Hiromu Arakawa
