Reading log

Here is where I try my darndest to do a coding and log everything I read! Sorted from most to least recent, starting from January 2025. This only counts books I fully finished because otherwise there would be ten million half read books from the library. (So, so many random library books) Do be warned I rate things weridly so a ten can mean anything from 'holy shit this book changed by life' to 'there were no issues with it!' I am making an effort to change it here but bascially every book starts off at 10/10 and then looses point because (much like dogs) all books are good books.

Currently reading:The Once and Future King by T.H White (The Sword in the Stone)

A Conspiracy of Truths

by: Alexandra Rowland

Finished:12th of March 2025

Review:8/10 This is a pretty good fantasy book with a lot of engaging moving parts. I got this book in late 2023 and then fianlly came back to it this March, I flew theough it surprisingly quickly. I liked the plot and worldbuilding and most of the small stories trapped within, although some parts of the book felt a bit long or uneccesary.

The Left Hand of Darkness

by: Ursula K. Le Guin

Finished:5th of March 2025

Review: 100/10. The Left Hand of Darkness is a beautiful science fiction exploration of gender and sexuality and how society formulates and enforces it. It gives us an insight into a different system of gender and the plot is a beautiful thing. This book is one of my favourites of all time now and I will be writing thoughts on it somewhere.
