Free-For-All Friday

[geraineon]

Time for free for all Friday, a day for random chit-chat!

Do you want to talk about the other novels you are reading or find a read-along partner? Practice your Chinese? Request for fics? Ask for beta readers? Just talk about your day?

Go right ahead!

Finished rereading The True Queen by Zen Cho, it held up. Then I started a reread of Devil Venerable. Next up will probably be...more rereading, tbh, depending on how certain world events shake out. Augh.

But I'm being provided with copies of Smiling Proud Wanderer and Chu Liuxiang! So I'm looking forward to those.

Still thinking about The Princess Royal, and wondering if anybody's read the book, and if so, do you recommend it?

[ehyde]

Can I ask where you found Smiling Proud Wanderer, and what format it is? I'm asking because I never managed to find a complete epub. I ended up making my own from the website, but from the partial epub I found, I think the translation is slightly different. I'm kind of curious about the differences (they're attributed to the same translator).

I'll dm you

[geraineon]

Yes yes, join me and rae in reading CLX!

... Maybe I should also join ehyde in reading smiling proud wanderer

I've not read the princess royal, so can't help there!

I'm still rereading The Beauty's Blade and was very excited that Dragon Subjugation Incantation's translation updated today! Highlight for spoilers! *Luo Qingci just now starting to question if she's in a straight romance novel amused me.*

I need to find something to distract myself with for next week.

[geraineon]

What other books do you have on your tbr?

[aurumcalendula]

I've been thinking about Peerless and The Disabled Tyrant's Pet Fish. It definitely needs to be something that both doesn't have a contemporary setting and ultimately has a happy ending.

I don't know why work has gone fully mad this week, but it's given me next to no time to read anything (beyond work-related documents, sob). Did manage to eke out time to work on my translation of To Embers We Return though, so at least Chapter 2 should be up within the scheduled ten-day deadline I've set for myself.

[aurumcalendula]

Ooh! (I really enjoyed the first chapter)

[douqi]

It only gets better!

[geraineon]

Hopefully work will be kinder to you soon!

I doubt I'd get much reading done while I'm on this family trip ahaha. Will try.

I'm packing for my family trip and my room's an absolute mess right now because I kind of pivoted to wanting change/wash the sheets midway, got distracted watching Duke of Mount Deer for a bit and then dug around looking for an old power adaptor plug.

'Sounds like chaos', you might be thinking xD and you'd be RIGHT.

[geraineon]

I feel you. My last day before I flew was super chaotic (due to various reasons...)
