Finished reading another book today: Bromantasy by Máire Roche.
The text on the back (and the tagline on the front) pushed this a bit too hard as comedy (when in fact comedy was merely one element, and not even the largest of them), and definitely spelled out too much of the plot, so I went in expecting something a bit different than it actually was.
However, it was still quite delightful. Sweet and charming, for the most part. Though some of the "fantasy versions of modern stuff" like talking about reading news scrolls as "scrolling" felt like some degree of forced or exceptionally dating or both. But maybe that's just me. 🤷🏻♀️
Not sure which book off the to-read shelf I want to read next.
Or rather, what I most wanted to read next on my to-read shelf was a fantasy alternate history that promised (among other things) Napoleon leading an army of the dead, only it turned out to be book two in a series so I really need to get myself to a bookstore and find part one first. 😅 I really need to pay more attention to things like that in the future...
