Currently Reading
I have been continuing with The Djinn Falls in Love and Other Stories which I am still enjoying. I just finished "Black Powder" by Maria Dahvana Headley. It was a gorgeous story with a fascinating take on the topic, but perhaps a bit too subtle for me because I didn't entirely follow it. Might give that one a reread.

I also just started on Rosa and the Veil of Gold by Kim Wilkins. This is one of the ten oldest books on Mt TBR that I said I would get to this year. I'm only a couple of chapters in so far, but I can't say I find myself connecting with it much. I might give it a few more chapters and then ditch it if it's still not working for me.


Currently Watching
Sahaquiel and I have continued with Love in the Moonlight and are enjoying it. However, I'm starting to find a few things annoying. On being outed as a woman, the female lead spends so much more time being passive. It makes her rather less charming than she was. The Crown Prince also displays some rather concerning possessive behaviour. What makes this worse is that the other point of this love triangle (a nobleman from a family seeking to undermine the Crown Prince) is the most sweet and considerate guy. Even though the Crown Prince is very handsome and charismatic (and does vulnerability so well), I would pick the other nobleman over him in an instant.

I've also started watching Fairyland Lovers. I'm a bit on the fence about this one, too. The main character is very Manic Pixie Dream Girl. At this point, I'm mostly sticking with it for Bai Yu (though he is quite a jerk).
