+            i left my ereader at a cafe on the 1st of january of this year
+            while traveling in south korea. i only got a replacement in june.
+            that's why there is a 6 month gap where i did not read anything
+            this year.

+                        i admit, i probably started this out of nostalgia after
+                        coming back from japan. it's a cute little story that
+                        nicely shows how weird japanese society can be.

+                        i did not like this compared to the other two entries
+                        to the series. mostly takes place on the world of the
+                        creators of the "mechs". the style feels off compared
+                        to the first novel when we were seeing the story evolve
+                        through the eyes of the unnamed character.

+                        devine's world this month. their log is fascinating and
+                        inspiring. much of their stuff makes you want to set
+                        out to sail yourself, and much of this book does too,
+                        but then there is also details (like the wave incident)
+                        that make you say: hell no.

+                        read this while in iceland. basically a family history
+                        focused on the women. i had no background on oman's
+                        history or society. super interesting from that angle.
+                        sometimes a bit slow and confusing, since it's jumping
+                        around the timeline.

+                        this one has it too. so many small details that feel
+                        meaningless on the surface but add some much to the
+                        experience of the book.

+                        this would surely have left a better impression.
+                        the part about the sumarian virus is creative but feels
+                        forced at the end when it is used to resolve
+                        everything.
