I read a lot of fantasy/sci-fi books and I talk about them on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@paperback_cat) I live in New Zealand 💕
Had to get out a new hair tie because I couldn’t find any…
meanwhile in the lounge:
Just put my iPhone through the washing machine 😵
But it seems fine? Very clean! 😅
Google search for the sequel (The Fox in Winter) release date gives AI result saying the title is wrong and giving the release date for the first book (The Raven Scholar)
Fuck off with your condescending and wrong AI response 😵💫

Watched Crocodile Dundee last night and can add it to the list of movies from my childhood that do not live up to the memory 😅
I was asking “why would you do that?” in almost every scene, including when she said she loved him lol
Reading Plans for November!
Lots of re-reads and some recent fantasy releases 📚💕

Me (rambling): this book was too rambly
😅

I hardly ever get the house to myself so I’m always excited… but then I realise there’s nothing I want to do that I can’t do normally anyway 😅

A lot of talk about Lady Knights lately, but what about Lady Astronauts? 🚀📚❤️
Here’s my review of the Lady Astronaut book series by Mary Robinette Kowal 😊:

I’m trying to clear some space on my phone but going through old photos is just making me want to play Animal Crossing

Filmed for 20 minutes and then I think my camera crashed and lost the footage 😖😭😵

I suck at Booktube at the moment but I did manage to put together a new reading vlog! Unfortunately the books were mostly not the best 😬📚

Apparently I woke my boyfriend up in the early hours of the morning by laughing in my sleep 😅

New reading vlog! 📚📚📚
Continuing a couple of sci-fi/fantasy book series and re-reading what I now think might be one of my most favourite books 😄

We had planned a fun date day for today but I guess instead we’re going to be calling a plumber 😬

Last night in bed I was reading a scene in The Devils by Joe Abercrombie where a fight evolves into werewolf sex, when my half-asleep boyfriend decided to read over my shoulder.
“Is it saying they’re having sex?! 😳” he asks.
Oh my sweet, this is not the kind of book to drop into halfway 😅
I eventually found them outside, where he had already looked. I knew I needed to check his work :P

I bought 22 books in Q2 which see seems like a lot but the average cost was only like $4 each 😄 so that’s not so bad?
