Finished reading: Star Trek: Discovery: Succession by Kirsten Beyer 📚
I honestly don’t know how anyone is left living in the Terran Empire. Mirror Universe stuff stresses me out. But Discovery Annual #1 is chef’s kiss. Seeing how Paul and Hugh meet? 😍
Finished reading: Star Trek: Discovery - The Light of Kahless by Mike Johnson 📚
Finished reading: The Dead Zone by Stephen King 📚

Another, as W. puts it, compulsively readable book. A little chilling in its political prescience, really.
Finished reading: Carrie by Stephen King 📚
I don’t recall the last time I read a book inside of 24 hours.

The beginnings of woodland goth. I love it, of course.

Finished reading: The Bloody Chamber: And Other Stories: 75th-Anniversary Edition (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) by Angela Carter 📚

Finished reading: Redwall: A Tale from Redwall by Brian Jacques 📚
Cozy fantasy, just what I need right now.
Two quotes that stood out for me:
“Many times in our history has tragedy been forestalled by miraculous happenings.”
“Even the strongest and bravest must sometimes weep.”
