How did your weekend reading go? If you planned on anything specifically, did you read it? (Reminder link to intended weekend reading post)

Almost finished the book! I think today will be the day I finish it! Then it is time to reward myself by buying and reading the much anticipated new Mistborn book: Shadows of Self. *yay*

[nanila]

Oh, excellent! :) Hope you enjoy your reward.

I started The Soul of an Octopus. Reading it to the toddler - she's enjoying it.

Dipped into Nature, The Economist and Chemistry World. Actually managed to keep up with social media too.

[dhampyresa]

Are you enjoying the octopus too?

[nanila]

Yes! It's quite...romantic? She clearly loves the octopuses. :)

[dhampyresa]

A romantic octopus? Tell me more.

[nanila]

I'm not sure the octopuses are all that romantic, although the author manages to make them seem so. She's quite scientific about octopus physiology and behaviour but she also infuses her observation with plenty of feeling, particularly wonder and admiration.

[dhampyresa]

Read some short stories from an anthology.

[nanila]

That sounds very pleasant indeed. :)

[dhampyresa]

It was!

reading went pretty much as planned - dwircle (and working back through comments!); semi-random fic on the AO3, not much else.

[nanila]

Working backward through comments is very satisfying indeed. And your reading sounds wonderfully relaxing.

Twitter et. al. And yet again, no tabs were closed.

Tab proliferation continues in this browser as well. *sigh*
