What are you reading?

I finally (FINALLY) knocked out Giovanni Boccaccio's "The Decameron." Great book but not one of my top ten favorite short story compilations. Still loved it, though. Thoughts there:

2023 in summary

I've reached the end of the quadrilogy! There are still two more novels and one more novella in this series after the conclusion of the main/initial four, so I'll seek them out after a short break. They didn't have them at my local bookshop, or at the chain that wants to wipe out an entire race of people, so I'll have to order them from an online seller, but of course I want to make sure I get the matching editions.
