📚💕

Looking at the list of non-fic books I've read this year, I'm feeling very amused. Of the 62 books so far, I have:

- a revisit of the Murderbot audiobooks
- a tiny handful of manga
- a whole bunch of Chinese webnovels, Thai webnovels, Japanese light novels, and one Korean webnovel series
- We Do Not Part by Han Kang

It's my own little "one of these things is not like the others" game. 😂

(I really don’t care about how many books I read, what I read, etc. It’s just nice to keep track for personal memory reasons.)

Friending fellow CIX fans

I've become happily obsessed with CIX and would love to friend fellow CIX fans on Dreamwidth. I'm posting about them quite a bit on my own journal, under the tag kpop:cix. My bias is Yonghee, my biaswrecker is Hyunsuk :)

I'm also wondering about what sorts of posts are appropriate to crosspost here. Perhaps I can share roundups of the CIX posts on my journal here so that I'm still sharing everything here but without being spammy?
