What book are you reading right now?

Akai Ito (Visual Novel): This novel will make you want to dive headfirst into linguistics. The mystery is so well executed and so subtle. The Uzuki route is just so good—so many twists and turns—so cute—so much character development—I love it zomg my heart.

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin

A rich multi-tale nesting doll of why we dream and hope and the power of stories to change not only the fate of our souls, but the fates of others—even those who no longer believe in dreams or magic. 🪄

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez

I honestly don’t know how one even begins to discuss this book in literary circles; it’s so brimming with story, with themes of both overt and subtle musings and hauntings and enchantments of the heart, and all told with a pacing that’s breakneck yet with the grace of a sage, that it feels like a novel one truly reads and appreciates and explores in solitude—that it cannot be, as perhaps many other classics can, so easily discussed in honest and simple language. With a close friend in the evening with the lights turned down, maybe so.
