Looking for a good place to log, rate, and maybe talk about books that isn't Goodreads.

I've already met my goal for the year, but I'm leaving it be. I used to read at most a single book per year. My ADHD would just get the best of me and I couldn't get myself to pick up a physical book (despite my absolute love for them). I bought a Kobo back in March and I've read more books since then than probably the past two decades.

It's a story. More fantasy than science-fiction. I had a time piecing together what the events in the first part of the book actually meant with regards to the story. I had to read someone else's synopsis to then realize, "oh! That's what happened!" I'm glad I'm starting here with Le Guin. Her works can only get better, I assume.

I plan on reading more of the Hainish to at least get to the book I'd purchased first, The Left Hand of Darkness.
