[waves madly at everyone] hello fellow cnovel readers, very happy to be here—and thank you mod for starting this comm!

1. currently reading:

Just got Stars of Chaos/Sha Po Lang vol. 3 in the mail today LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

2. favorite cnovel:

I finished Mo Du in like five days in late November and honestly I still haven't gotten over it. I may never get over it. I think about it constantly. I never dreamed a plot could DO all that.

3. favorite author:

Priest so far, even though I've read hardly anything. But I love her huge brilliant wild mind.

4. other hobbies/interests:

I write every day (compulsively), walk every day (reluctantly, even though I live on a beautiful island), and drink way too much matcha. Also I have a cat, Zoë. I teach literature and film to undergrads part-time and am full-time disabled (the crazy kind). And I love making friends so feel free to follow. <3

5. what I hope to see:

Just looking forward to y'all's recs, and lots of conversation about books. Out of curiosity—does anyone use Goodreads instead of/as well as NU? I'm having fun making shelves on both, and filling them with vast numbers of danmei to read—

Hi and welcome! Sha Po Lang and Mo Du are great (highly rec the audio dramas too)

I do use novelupdates to add books to tbr: https://www.novelupdates.com/user/393433/geraineon/

But I'm generally quite bad at keeping lists haha.

i'm so hipped about both ADs—already bought mo du on maoer FM and just haven't gotten around to it yet (also i heard it's the censored version, which makes me sad, and i can't find the uncensored one). at least SPL is on youtube, and it's translated too!

[geraineon]

I wonder if anyone has the uncensored version saved somewhere... surely it still exists. I'll try asking some ppl I know

[lunarriviera]

thank you so much for offering! there was someone on reddit who was sharing with people who had proof of purchase, but this person realized that they have me blocked on twitter and therefore declined to share with me. (not sure why the twitter block, i am only on twitter to yell about cdramas in general and dmbj/under the skin/justice in the dark in particular?)
