Glasses and Books
Jul. 13th, 2023 12:52 pmGlasses:
I went to the eye doctor today for a new prescription for my glasses. I found out that on top of one eye being far-sided and the other near-sided, I also have deviating pupils, lol. There's a fix for that and my astigmatism, though, so I'm going to get that when I buy my new glasses from Zenni soon. I have decided on these two frames for my regular and sun glasses. They're going to be awesome, and I really can't wait to see how they look on me. I'm hoping to get them in time for my birthday next month!
While I was at the eye doctor, I met one of the workers there, and she was incredibly nice. We had a lot in common, surprisingly? We both loved games, including Mass Effect, and Arcane as well. She even knew about Homestuck! She complimented my Ita Bag and my charms after recognizing them. ♥ We ended up exchanging phone numbers before I left, and I look forward to hearing from her in the future and potentially even hanging out. I don't have a lot of IRL friends, so this could be great for me!
Books:
I've been reading a lot of books in the last month and a half. That's to say I read about 8 of them in that time frame. There were some superb ones like the For the Wolf duology, which I loved. I'm such a sucker for new takes on fairy tales and anything to do with deities. The For the Wolf duology also included my favorite romance trope: enemies to lovers. I was so sucked into the second book. I couldn't tear myself away from the pages. I also really enjoyed Legends and Lattes. It was a good palate cleanser of a book that focused on a (minor) sapphic relationship between an orc and a tiefling opening a coffee shop. I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out this December.
The books I've spent the most time reading recently are from the ACOTAR series. I snubbed it for a long time because while I love romance, I usually don't like the tropes in published work. That remains to be true, but I didn't mind it overly much in A Court of Thorns and Roses. It had some stuff I didn't appreciate, but it easily suckered me into the series. I'm on the last book in the series, now, and it's good, even if it makes me roll my eyes sometimes. The writer has a tendency to use the work "barking" incorrectly, and it always gets a laugh out of me, even though it wasn't meant to. All I've got to do is finish A Court of Silver Flames, and then I can tick off two of the goals in my reading journal.
