Hey Beehaw (and friends)! What’re you reading?

Previously I had these thread labelled as monthly threads, but I have had an incredibly busy few months and had not been able to keep up with it. So this is now going to be a general sticky that will be replaced "every so often" when the previous thread gets overly full :)

Novels, nonfiction, ebooks, audiobooks, graphic novels, etc - everything counts!

I have been reading the Wheel of Time series for the first time (by Robert Jordan). Currently starting Crown of Swords, book 7.

Recently placed a request in my library for the following, hopefully they'll be coming in within the next week:

How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang

Back when I was on Twitter I used to follow a bunch of writers and Yellowface was so entertaining in its portrayal of that domain. Idk if you have heard about the recent Cait Corran scandal but it had me thinking about that book again.

I had no idea of this - I just googled it and it's almost exactly like something out of the book.

I really enjoyed Yellowface, it's a great read and a bit of a black comedy in places!
