Not much change at my end, still reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin.

Also started volume 7 of Jujitsu Kaisen manga, by Gege Akutami.

    Started The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John le Carré, which is fine so far, although I am getting tired of the 1950s/60s women character tropes.

    I put Weak Heart on hold last week, but I might pick it back up again.

    –

    Finished Foul Days by Genoveva Dimova. This was a fun, fast read about a witch who tries to regain her lost powers in a fantasy city, complete with creatures from Bulgarian folklore and a handsome detective. Somewhat similar in vibe and content rating as T. Kingfisher’s fairy tale fantasies or early Robin McKinley, but with much thinner characterization. It did leave some loose ends for the sequel coming out in October, but not so many as to be obnoxious, imo. Oh, and sidenote: the informational pamphlet mentioned by the MC during the story was hidden at the end of my copy, so if you find the creature names confusing, hunt it up.
