Okay, finished reading another book, after puttering around for a few days trying to motivate myself to read a short story collection. (Not sure why I have so much trouble with anthologies now, but I really do...)
Anyway. The book I read this time is a tiny little volume: only 174 pages long, and the book itself is small and cute. This is it, next to a AA battery for a scale comparison:
As you can see, the book is called A Magical Girl Retires by Park Seolyeon. That cover caught my eye as I was walking through the bookstore, and after reading the description on the back, I couldn't resist.
It's simultaneously a work of fantasy and something almost painfully grounded. I'm really glad I happened to look over at that shelf to notice it! 😁
Unfortunately, due to when I finished it, I'll have to move on to this month's book club book instead of reading something else of my own choosing next. (I had planned to start reading it on Sunday, to make sure I finished before June started, but the other books on my to-read shelf will take me longer than two days to read, so... 🤷🏻♀️ )
