Currently reading
Currently about a quarter of the way through Vanity Fair. This one is going to take me a while.

As I've mentioned before, I'm starting to venture into audio books. I picked up a copy of American Gods by Neil Gaiman and that has been doing an excellent job of keeping me entertained through the housework. Since I don't have a whole lot of experience with audio books, I wanted to start out with something I didn't care too much about and wouldn't be bothered by missing if my mind wandered off. I'd seen the first season of the TV show but hadn't bothered to follow up the subsequent seasons. The book has also been on my TBR for years, but belongs to my dad. Picking it up on audio was a good way of tackling it without actually adding to my TBR pile.

I have enjoyed seeing the modern interpretations of the old gods and seeing manifestations of the new. It's a very dude heavy book, though.


Currently watching
Sahaquiel and I finished off S3 of The Dragon Prince last night, which continues to be a delight. I particularly enjoyed the way they've made the dragons seem truly massive. I also enjoyed the relationship developments.

I have no idea what we'll watch next. I'm not feeling all that excited about anything. Sahaquiel actually asked if I'd prefer to give up TV and the idea is not unappealing.

Glad to hear audiobooks are working for you.

Giving up TV seems like it might be a plan, at least for the time being. As with books -- no point forcing yourself to read something you don't like. It's your free time. I'm sure there are other things you could do together that would be enjoyable.

Sounds like a good plan. ^_^

Sometimes it's good to give up TV for a while, honestly. Especially if nothing is really pinging? It might also just be time to take a rest and focus on something else for a while <3
