The Apology by Han Jimin (hardcover)

A Murakami-esque exploration of the lasting danger of lies. Half ghost story, half love story this book is a call to be forgiving to oneself and others, and willing to admit mistakes. A gift from @phoebeacheson.bsky.social

Red White & Royal Blue (libby audiobook)

Sweet and endearing romance probably everyone has read. The political elements seem naive at best in 2025. Good plane book.

One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.

My Tiny Bookshop (nintendo switch)

A truly charming little game!

The cover of Neon Grey Midnight Green shows Neko Case beside a crashed chandellier with a cloud hovering over her hand

Neon Grey Midnight Green - Neko Case

I think it goes without saying but strange and surprising and really good

To Sketch a Scandal - Jess Everlee (paperback)

This was ok but i never really connected with either of the MCs.

Devil Judge (viki)

This was probably better as a stylistic exercise than as an actual drama but dang I'm weak for Ms. Jeong

Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin (libby audiobook)

I do feel mentally like a fish lately. This was very good though.

Portrait of a Scotsman and A Gentleman's Gambit by Evie Dunmore (paperback)

3rd and 4th in the series. Both enjoyable, although i like the first two a bit more. On the whole a very enjoyable series!

Enough is Enuf by Gabe Henry (libby audiobook)

Superficial but interesting. I didn't care too much for the narrator. This did make me want to study linguistics more seriously.

It's my 15th 750words anniversary, which is wild. I haven't written anything much this year but I am chugging along.

a good day off

Bringing Down the Duke - Evie Dunmore (libby ebook)

This is actually the first in the series. Just as charming as the other i read. Good summer book!

Better Late Than Single (netflix)

I only watched this because my ~ultimate bias~ Inguk was on the panel of commentators but it ended up being surprisingly sensitive and kind of charming

At 17, Hannah Cairo Solved a Major Math Mystery | Quanta Magazine After finding the homeschooling life confining, the teen petitioned her way into a graduate class at Berkeley, where she ended up disproving a 40-year-old conjecture.

Delightful story about a 17-year-old homeschooler who disproved the 40-year-old Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture. She decided to apply straight to graduate school, skipping the rest of high school and college. When she finishes, a PhD will be her first degree.

i think i've consumed other media in the last month but it's been kinda rough tbh. this was charming. i am reading the sequel.

Philly is in its first municipal strike in the social media age. Does that affect how events are unfolding? So far, the national press has largely ignored Philadelphia's first strike by city workers since 1986.

It's not this bad by me but it's not great! At least I can compost at the community garden!
