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?

Dragon Subjugation Incantation's translation updated the other day! It seems like it might be a bit of a turning point in the heroines' relationship, and I'm so looking forward to finding out what happens next!

In terms of non-cnovels, I've started reading the sff novel Point of Hopes by Melissa Scott. I'm enjoying it so far (I'm a bit tempted to check out the completely different genre show that inspired the main characters once I finish it).

Also on a completely non-book related note, I've been seeing a bunch (or maybe the same one multiple times?) of hummingbirds at my feeder, which always brightens my day.

Bird updates always make me happy! (secondhand joy as someone who lives in a place without hummingbirds)

They're such cool birds!

+1 I enjoy bird updates. A friend recorded hummingbirds visiting her feeder and sent to me, and I loved it!

What are the different genres between the book, Points of Hopes, and the show?

I'll have to try recording them sometime - it's difficult to get good photos of them since they're so fast!

The show is the UK (then contemporary) action/spy drama The Professionals from 1977. In contrast, the book is a fantasy-ish novel (think something like Swordspoint) set in the capital city of a country that feels like an AU Elizabethan England.
