Talk to me! It's 2 hours before bedtime, and Josh is already asleep.

1. Something has got to be wrong with me because that Monster Trucks movie looks pretty cute to me.

2. I'm doing the reading challenge on Goodreads. Rec me a book to read this year.

3. So, I met both sections of the senior level class I'm teaching yesterday. Today, three people dropped the class. LOL I'm choosing to believe I was both too stunningly gorgeous and too intimidatingly erudite for the room.

4. Ask me a question; tell me a thing! Give me something to do for the next few hours, friends.

I've been reading this very Swedish YA witch series that starts with The Circle, where the majority of the conflict is really about finding one's place in one's family and the world, and the stuff with the witch's council is kind of secondary, and the evil demons and prophecy are almost tertiary. It's slow going and I'm only on the second book, but it's interesting for being just so different for what I expect from an American YA witch series.

ETA: Here is the first book in the series: The Circle by Sara Elfgren and Mats Strandberg

It's well after bedtime by now, so I hope you had a lovely night!

Ooh that sounds intriguing!

You should give it a try! Apparently it has been translated into many languages and the first book was made into a film.

I did! Slept well, thank you.

Thanks too for the rec; that looks super interesting.

I found it both a well-written book, if a bit slow-moving for what I'm personally used to, and also interesting in a "this is not plotted with my cultural tastes in mind" perspective. Which is not a bad thing! It was a fascinating thing, actually, and I loved it for that.
