The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
I can see why everyone loves this book, but I will say, it’s moving pretty slowly for me. The writing is fantastic, but I don’t really love any of the characters (Vasya is fine, I still don’t love her though), and I don’t feel super connected to the story. Hopefully that’ll change soon.
This Chinese cop/mystery/Sherlocky/thriller with a dash of romance is SO GOOD. After watching “When A Snail Falls In Love” and proclaiming it the best Chinese drama I’ve seen, I knew I needed to try another cop drama, plus this one also has Wang Kai in it, so it’s a win-win situation. I have not been disappointed with Love Me if You Dare. Very much a Sherlock show. It does deal with violent crimes and serial killers (it’s also sort of a Criminal Minds kind of show), so it’s a bit heavier than some dramas I’ve watched, but so far, it’s awesome.
What are you reading/watching this week?
It’s Monday! What are you Reading is hosted by The Book Date.
Haven’t read that book but hope it does work out for you, otherwise give up on it!!
I’m mostly watching a ton of different anime series.
Ooooh which ones? I’m a Voice Actor with Funimation so I get excited about these things lol
I’ve heard nothing but good things about this book, so I hope it picks up for you:)). I’m watching Portrait Artist of the Year – I LOVE this series…
I just finished it. DEFINITELY picked up and ended spectacularly, but the first half dragged pretty badly. Glad I stuck with it.
