bonus book finished for the year, i guess.

this witchcraft stuff isn't really for me, but this is a nice little self-help book, taking inspiration from "magical" items and practices as well as natural cycles of time and other sources of meaning and inspiration, in order to do things like improving one's own sense of self worth, assessing one's life, working through challenges, and motivating action.

Wasn't quite feeling it at first, but I'm glad I finished.

Unexpected marathon session at the end. But it got done.

Vampires, pop music, and bits of Chinese-American heritage. Put together in an interesting story.

finished up to chapter 22

seriously this is like Ms. Vampire Who Lives In My Neighborhood except it's drama instead of feelgood slice-of-life

also the lead character is the vampire and it's in california rather than japan and she tries to hide the fact that she's a vampire and she's not as old as sophie is etc. etc.

(but at least the werewolves are still fictional!)

deep (in more ways than one) dive into the lore of the Pathfinder games, in a pretty compelling (and sometimes dark, also in more ways than one) story.

you may want to have the Pathfinder Wiki on hand when reading, especially to figure out where specific named locations are, as Eando does wander through quite a lot of geography. though do be aware that if you look up the main character (or some other articles) you may find spoilers.

end of "City of Serpents"

finished "...And Your Enemies Closer"

four chapters to go!

end of chapter 14 (page number is a dummy placeholder... why can't it be left blank?)

I'm listening to the audiobook version. Actually started yesterday. Finished the first chapter.

finished chapter "Darkest Before the Fall"

finished "Fear in a Handful of Rust"

I feel like the story is kicking into high gear. Much suspense.

finished the last chapter, "The Moments of Enjoyment", as well as the book as a whole.
