Thursday 3rd Sep i’ve just finished my first book of the reading challenge !! Things We Lost In The Fire by Mariana Enriquez translated by Megan McDowell was overall so much fun !! my favourite of the short stories is definitely Adela’s House, followed closely by No Flesh Over Our Bones and Under The Black Water !! it definitely feels like a book i can reread after some time has passed and notice more details and connections than the first time :•) Share

Thursday 27th Aug at the time of setting up this fundraiser, my current read is Katabasis by R.F. Kuang! i devoured Yellowface a year or two ago so i knew before i started that i’d have a good time reading Katabasis, but im especially excited by the classical references laced throughout the story :•) im currently on page 49 of 541 and so very tempted to count it as part of the 5, but this week doesn’t surround September so i’m going to lock in and get as excited about 5 other books as i am about Katabasis!!
