My music listening in a nutshell: I’m playing the album I listened to every morning on the bus in 10th grade. I can sing every word, vocalize any guitar riff, but could not tell you the title of ANY track.

Managed to finish “Nettle & Bone” just before our NYE plans! Loved it. T. Kingfisher has such a strong voice; I love how she inserts her humor even into a dark fantasy. #BacklogReadathon

Last night for #BacklogReadathon I decided RSS feeds also count as a reading backlog: I’m now down from 65 to 25 unread items in my Reader! 🥳

Mind you, some of those 40 were yeeted (yote?) to archive.
