I'm just starting Lonely Castle in the Mirror by Mizuki Tsujimura because I want to read something more lighthearted. The past few books I've read recently have been a little too depressing lol.

Spice: The 16th Century Contest That Shaped The Modern World by Roger Crowley. It details the contest, initially primarily between Portugal and Spain, for a route to and control of the islands that were, at the time, the only sources for Nutmeg and Cloves. Portugal had circumnavigated Africa and Columbus had landed in the Carribean (though he thought he was near India). Magellan would search for, and find, a way past the American continents and into the vast Pacific Ocean. Soon other powers would join the contest and challenge both Spain and Portugal.

I'm reading some classic books free online, including Tarzan of the Apes, for the first time. I didn't watch any of the films, although they were well known to me, but I am certainly enjoying the book. Currently, in the book, Jane has fallen in love with Tarzan, making her suitor jealous..At this point, neither is aware that Tarzan has dramatically saved the life of another member of the party they were travelling with.
