haven't been reading a lot lately. unfortunately, i tend to hyperfocus on specific hobbies, so reading took a backburner as i went fully into eurovision
HOWEVER! i thought i would just talk about The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez a little bit. i've only read around a quarter of it, but it's shaping up to be one of the best books i've ever read! it's a dark fantasy where a god escaped from her prison and two guys help her escape while being chased. the prose, the pacing, the characters, the worldbuilding... everything about this book ticks all of my boxes
despite not finishing it yet, i would highly recommend it. if you want content warnings, check user-generated ones here:

anyway i hope anyone else reading any books this month reads something good
