Reading Wednesday
Currently Reading: Spark Joy by Marie Kondo. I'm going to do a more detailed entry about this book after I finish it, but I will say - this one is both more stripped down than Tidying Up (fewer personal anecdotes) and more detailed (lots of kitchen tips!).
Also Currently Reading: Millennium: The End of the World and the Forging of Christendom by Tom Holland. Basically about what was going on in Europe around year 1000 or so (give or take a bit of time in both directions). Not very deep into it, but so far it's quite readable. My knowledge of Nordic history at this period is decent, even if I can't remember dates, but as for the rest of Europe, I've forgotten pretty much everything I learned from those university classes, so this should be a refresher at the very least. I'm not particularly interested in church history, but for a lot of periods in European history, it's impossible to separate that from anything else, so I'll just roll with that part, I guess.
Reading Next: I have Thick as Thieves by Megan Whalen Turner on hold at the library. ;) I've been trying to take my time with this series because after this one it will be DONE and I'll have to wait for the next to be published, oh no.
