Greetings!

This weekend, I watched a Chinese drama following two families across several decades, from the early 1970s to the late 1990s. It was interesting to see the introduction of new inventions during that period and how they were received, from single hundred notes to the rice cooker. I’ve always enjoyed historical fiction, and while watching this drama, my takeaway was that some habits and cultural norms can often be traced back to conditions of our past.

Here’s my reading highlight:

An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
4 stars

This was a great introduction to Margaret Rogerson’s work. The writing was engaging and refreshing, as the ‘faes’ in the world were ugly and conniving folks.
