Finished The Novice by Trudi Canavan. The second book in The Black Magician trilogy.
Found the second half to be more interesting than the first half, but that is probably just me.
Started Carl’s Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman, book 2 of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Got my last bingo square done after finishing my re-read of Vicious by V.E. Schwab, filled in the second row! Going to try for a blackout, as this has been a fun way to guide my reading. Finished my first Le Guin yesterday – The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, still turning it over in my head as it was powerfully compelling. And now re-reading Vicious’s sequel, Vengeful, in time for the forthcoming finale next month.
On the non-fiction side, continuing through Seeing Like a State. Taking my time so as to take everything in, I can see why it was so heavily recommended, definitely worth wading through the dry academic-like writing.
Grats on bingo!
