I want to re-read China Mountain Zhang

I loaned out the copy of China Mountain Zhang that I repurchased after loaning out my first copy of China Mountain Zhang, shortly before or shortly after commencing my year of not buying new books. I have a library card. I probably could get my hands on a copy but part of the plan is to work through books in my to be read pile, so intentionally getting my hands on yet a third copy of China Mountain Zhang would be a quasi-subversion of the plan, even if it doesn't actually undermine the rules, and even if the thing I am going to do instead is quickly re-read all four Steerswoman novels rather than dive into Piranesi which is actually in my TBR pile.
I also don't regret loaning out China Mountain Zhang! I am glad the person I loaned it to got it and got to read it! And book loans are basically gifts.
But, in this instance, if that book were on a table or shelf near me I would pick it up and start reading it today, I think.
Anyway, I realized I'd been avoiding Dreamwidth because I had turned it into large scale posting projects rather than a place to write up thoughts I was having and then I was avoiding the projects, and that was silly of me.
Here are some of the books I have added to my list of books to think about getting when my book purchase moratorium is over:
- The Bacchae (which translation?)
- Dog Years: A Memoir (P.S.)
- Exedelic
- Books by CL Moore
- Beowulf Audiobook (Headley)
- Heritage of the Star
- Beyond the Tomorrow Mountain
- Or rather: Children of the Star Omnibus
- How to Build a Girl [Catlin Moran]
- China Mountain Zhang (again)
