Congrats on finishing your thesis! I have not heard mention of Therese Desqueyroux since I read it back in college over 25 years ago. I actually just found my copy and was thinking of giving it a reread, but it's been awhile since I've read a French novel. Also good to hear that The Tainted Cup was good. I just picked that one up. The Becky Chambers series is really good also. I'm up to the last one. Each of them are almost stand-alones which is an interesting way to write a series I think.
The first thing I upgraded on my channel was a mic. I got a $10 lapel mic and it improved my sound a lot. And then I upgraded my lighting, which makes my videos look so much better and I don't feel like I need to upgrade my camera xD I've been curious about Lonely Castle in the Mirror, so it was interesting hearing your thoughts on it! I think some of those same things would bother me too. I love The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and I hope you enjoy it too!
Congrats! I read Lonely Castle and also enjoyed it, but not as much as I expected. I typically feel that Japanese Lit may not be as well translated as some other languages and kept having that feeling during some of the interactions. I didn't find the characters posturing bothered me, it felt very middle school appropriate. It wasn't my favorite portal fantasy, but think it's a must read for parents and middle schoolers; it has such great insight on bullying.
Congratulations on your defense of your thesis! Well done! Glad you’re feeling better now too.😊
Congratulations… That is an impressive feat to obtain!

Congrats!!🎓 I hope you'll like Becky's book! I think it's one of the best ones I've ever read🙌
I finished it over the weekend and I might have to agree 😉 I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be reading the rest of them!
