Wow… I could not put this down… this was such an interesting read. I had no idea where this story was gonna go and I loved every minute more and more was revealed. The beginning was especially my favorite because it was so calming to be in Piranesi’s POV meandering about the halls. The rest was still great I just really enjoyed the vibe of the beginning, Piranesi’s innocence mixed with Clarke’s writing reminded me a lot of when I was a kid and I learned how to read.. how I just discovered this whole new world and was so in awe of it. Overall amazing, definitely give this a read if you want a maritime coded mystery 🌊
Does anyone else like to listen to music while they read? And if so what do you like to listen to? Does it vary depending on what you’re reading? Or do you find it too distracting?
Personally, I’m super into music that fits the vibe of the book I’m reading. Like while I read Legends and Lattes I listened to some soft tavern ambience and now I’m reading dark gothic books and I’m listening to that type of vibe, like This Mortal Coil and Slowdive. I’d love music as well as reading so I’m curious to hear what you guys are listening to while you read! 😄

I’m obsessed with reading books and them fitting the season. I also do this with music I have even daytime music and night time music. Just yesterday I was alternating my reads, a rom-com and a dark academia based on the weather (when it was rainy I’d read the dark academia and when it would stop the rom com) I know it sounds…. Insane… but I just love being immersed and I think tying my environment (or season) to my reads heavily helps with that (I might just be insane or dramatic 😅)
for example, you only read thriller/horror books in the fall or summer-y vibes books in the summer, etc.
I'm honestly just curious about this one because the booktubers i watch always keep in mind the season when it comes to their reads? personally, i couldn't care less about something like that, i could read a christmas book in july and it wouldn't bother me lol. maybe because the four seasons thing is not a thing over where i live? it's just rainy season or dry season for me
