Probably not finishing this until Spring tbh

I'm still greatly enjoying this, it covers so much in so many topics and fleshes out all of it and it's all in relevance to yokai but is equally applicable to generally seeing behind the scenes on things you just wouldn't think about, disappointed tho about 100 pages are footnotes and the biography

It's a little heavy with the exposition but I'm having fun

I just started this and I'm already pissed off bro, like wdym this got past editors????

While a lot of these poems are more modern they are more straightforward as well which I appreciate, honestly I love the prose and poems in it, one of my favorite collections of the year so far, under the Haiku books of course

Honestly it's scratching that research itch for me, Niche Japanese History, Anime Recommendations and Anthropology all in one movie

Already noticing that early Irish poems are easier to follow than some of the prose in poems from the Rome anthology I just read

This may be a book I take notes on later

Other than some wording being confusing this is a nice little anthology and the stories vary in length so you're not constantly stuck in 20-40 page stories which is nice

Honestly, some elements of this book are pissing me off low-key. It would be funny to finish it on Halloween tho

I mean I'm still kinda seeing the same problems from Hell Bent (maybe even Ninth House) but it's more fun somehow, like crashing a car into a vampire? Or using demon horns to Shatter a windshield? Camp, camp af

Still loving this book, feels like I'm actually in Rome on some level

Honestly this current story is capturing the small town vibe really well and I live across the pond!

My goal is to get to 300 pages today because I didn't read 100 pages yesterday and I know a lot of people in CT have this book on hold with their libraries

Honestly I'm really enjoying folk horror, the sibling of Gothic horror

Honestly so far it's definitely starting off better than Hell Bent, I'm praying this series follows the trend of cars where the sequel and last bit of Ninth House were outliers kinda, but I'm thinking the problems I've had so far are there are too many mysteries in these books and more loose threads than the author could handle

Honestly slow progress but I love Toto, I heard from my friend how unhinged this book gets, idk how we're going to be doing all of that in 269 pages but we'll see

Finished Sigma Tau Delta Review, Volume 13, sadly its not available here but wanted to update anyway, it was nice reading some academic english work again

Hopefully I finish this before the weather turns bad

I will finish this book today or go blind trying

Honestly low-key glad I'm almost done with this, still a lot of grammar errors and I wish sections were moved around to make more sense

I kid you not I saw a misspelling of things as thnigs among other grammatical mistakes

What are we doing??? Like actually????

The explanation of some details but not others makes me think of children throughout the generations asking about certain aspects when they heard these stories. I wish though there was an edition with the original transcripts and sources for the myths with the editors walking us through their choices of what they cut out and shortened.

A nation with a mix of Venice, Irish and English culture, a sister with the personality of a Lobotomized Jabber and points so heavy they may as well be divine nails, Adrienne Young, if you think this book has complex characters were you high when reviewing this book for the quotes on the back?

There's like these little nuggets of good but everything still feels super rushed and the characters are now super dumb, the math is there, they just got lobotomized on the equation

This is more of a hot mess than a Mother's Day breakfast made solely by a toddler

This is a beautiful little collection, another great anthology in my book

Take a shot every time the author thesaurus' the same paragraph and you'll start to smell colors while blackout

Yeah, this book is 95% shipping and any actual plot kinda gets brushed aside after more than a chapter. Also Aris character assassination like damn, the author did her so dirty.
