1. In a spirit of optimism I've been checking books out of the library with titles like Two Lives of Charlemagne or Culture and Imperialism. I did finish Frankenstein, though it was a struggle. Spoiler alert: Everyone dies except the ship captain! Real bummer of a novel. I know it was assigned reading at some point in my life, but I had forgotten some major plot points, like cousin marriage. (Just found: a website comparing the two major editions of Frankenstein.)

2. AO3 added tags to collections, so I updated my cdrama podfic bookmark collection. Previously you could sort of filter by fandom on the collection browse page, but it was based on work tags in the collection, so it didn't work at all for bookmark collections.

3. I found this book-related Youtuber soothing to watch: The Cozy Creative.
