Epic Updates: May 23, 2022

Hello, Epic Insiders, and thank you for being a friend! (Brought to you by Jenn’s rewatch of Golden Girls.) Let’s get right into our main agenda.

What Are You Reading?

Happy Monday, reading friends!

I’m surprised to say that I haven’t finished Book Lovers yet, even though I’ve been liking it so far. I got caught up reading other things, and watching TV, if I’m being honest. One of the other books I had picked up to read was The Witches of Moonshyne Manor, which is about a coven of Five octogenarian witches, a magical heist, and a new danger that hangs overhead. It’s been getting “Golden Girls, but witches” comparisons, which is extremely up my alley, but I’ve been told it’s not quite that. Still fun, though! A few of us at Book Riot had a book club discussion around it, and I… hadn’t finished reading it *hangs head in shame.* But I still went and it was a fun discussion.

I’ve also started Far From the Light of Heaven for an SFF Yeah podcast episode I’m recording later this week. In it, the colony ship Ragtime docks in the Lagos system after having traveled light years to bring 1,000 sleeping people to a new home. When Michelle Campion, a first mate, wakes up to find that some people on board have been murdered, she calls Rasheed Fin to find out how it happened. It’s basically a closed-room mystery set in space, so I’m here for it.

Finally, I read the latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen on the Shounen Jump app and it was pretty brutal. I’m still not sure how I feel about reading manga or comics one chapter at a time versus by volume. The cliffhangers have me pressed!
