smilebackwardsInterrupting my classics era to read two new book releases I've been excited for! Usually I have no idea when new books are being released but I had an eye out for these.
The Tomb of Dragons by Katherine Addison. I read the first two in this series last year and this is the end of the trilogy. Celehar annoys more people by being a good person trying to solve past problems and atrocities! He fits my character type of having tons of people who clearly trust, admire, and adore him and yet having like very poor awareness of this and negative self-esteem. A good read.
Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. Haymitch in the 50th Hunger Games. Ouch. You sort of know what's coming because it's a prequel but also leans hard into 'well what do you really know about what happened?' because the Capitol is controlling the narrative.
In television, I finally watched Masters of the Air which is a dramatization of the 100th Bomb Group in WWII. I thought it was fine but it definitely wasn't at the level of Band of Brothers. Something about the tone just didn't work for me.
