I am still reading "Project Hail Mary". I am hoping to be finished this weekend, probably Saturday. I am loving the book, it's just I am in a weird mood lately and cannot concentrate to read a lot. So I am taking it as it comes.

I am watching anime duing the work week as they are shorter and leave me more time for other stuff in the evening; and watch hour-long episodes and movies during the weekend when I have a bit more time.

Good Morning.
Today will be the last episode of the anime Season 1 of "Sentenced to Be a Hero". I am sure the cliffhanger will be huge... This is one of the best anime I have seen in a long time.

Good Morning. I have not posted anything here in a long time. Work and life.
Reading update: I am now reading "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir. I am liking it so far. I am only 70-80 pages in. I am just too tired in the evenings and cannot read more than a couple of chapters.

So the women’s hockey team got fresh pasta at a swanky restaurant in Milan with Stanley Tucci and the men’s team got cold McDonalds in a room blaring Toby Keith where the President didn’t even eat with them. Y’all idk if you’ve noticed but the patriarchy sucks FOR YOU.

Review: The Strength of the Few – James Islington I started reading the second book in the Hierarchy series, "The Strength of the Few" by James Islington, at the end of December. I finished it on the 4th of January. This is a solid read, especially for a second book in a trilogy. It picks up right after the events of the first book; if you have not read the first book, there will be limited spoilers (nothing major). We follow Vis Telimus in 3 different worlds; Res, the world where Vis comes from; Obiteum, which is where Vis is rescued by Caeror, Ulciscor's brother; and Luceum, where Vis is rescued by a druid, and lives without knowing anything of what is happening.

“Authors” using AI slop in their books: a small list. Photo by Markus Spiske on Pexels.com We have lately seen a surge in AI slop. And yes, I will call it AI slop, because that is what it is: slop produced by AI. And if someone needs to use AI to create any kind of work of art, then they are not artists, but thieves. We all know that AI has been trained on actual artist's works without consent. AI companies have stolen those works and have trained their LLMs on it. None of those artists gave their consent, and they have not been paid for use of their copyrighted work.

Anime: Bastard!! Happy New Year 2026 everyone. I hope this new year will bring people love, joy and happiness. Except for books, I also love watching every medium available, from series to films (a big shout to "K-Pop Demon Hunters") to anime. For the past month I have been watching Bastard!! a shonen anime series with 2 seasons, with Season 1 having 24 episodes and Season 2 having 15 episodes. The story is not complete, but sources say that Season 3 is in development hell, so we will see if it ever comes out, or if I will have to seek out the manga series to read and see what happens in the end (if the manga is complete!).

I am currently reading "The Strength of the Few" by James Islington.
My two favourite reads are: "For Whom the Belle Tolls" by Jaysea Lynn and "The Everlasting" by Alix E. Harrow. There have been other notable reads, but these two have my heart.
