Rant incoming

Last week I read Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass while I waited for A Court of Thorns and Roses to come in from ILL. Each is the first book of a YA series, unrelated to each other although, expectedly, given the titles, they're similar in that they're fantasy with a focus on rulers, so well within my interests.

( I guess I should cut for spoilers although both of these series are pretty old )

Last night I was very excited to use my little kerosene lamp to read by, because it gives off warmth so I didn't want to use it all summer. But there was dust and cat hair in it and now the room is basically covered in little sooty smuts? FFS. I cleaned some of them up last night when I realized, but I'm only now seeing the full extent of it.
