‘He’d never have wanted to go home. He was a real linesman. His name is in the code, in the wind in the rigging and the shutters. Haven’t you ever heard the saying “A man’s not dead while his name is still spoken”?’
Going Postal
The Bloodless Princes by Charlotte Bond rests on top of a shelf. The cover features an illustration of a badass lady knight in armor holding a spear and a sword and a woman in a flowing red dress holding a small winged white cat.
#49 I absolutely adore these books. I will happily read as many as Charlotte Bond wants to write.
Me too
The Book of Swords edited by Gardner Dozois rests on a wooden shelf.
#48 I devoured The Book of Swords. I haven’t read a good anthology in a long time.
I can’t remember the last time I was as excited about anything as I am about this! Season one rewatch is on deck for next week.
Cast in Courtlight by Michelle Sagara rests on a blue floral rug. The cover features a woman viewed from behind. She is fastening the back of her blue ball gown, and she has runes up and down her arms.
#47 I’m really enjoying the series. Lots of action and just enough mystery to keep it interesting.
since women's day is an hour shorter this year, women will be taking that hour from another day at some point during the year. we don't tell you when, but it will happen
I want to know what people are doing with these magical long evenings they keep talking about. I want to hear what they are accomplishing that they couldn’t if the evening was slightly shorter.
I know that people like Daylight Saving Time, but it’s dark right now and it should be light. I need light in the morning so much more than in the evening.
Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman rests on a wooden shelf. The cover is black with bold yellow text.
#46 This year, I’m leaning in to recommendations from my friends. I never would have picked up Dungeon Crawler Carl on my own, but I loved it.
On the subject of rural broadband and the 2024 election: my mom didn’t get broadband until last year. That was when it was rolled out in my home county in rural WV. I’m sure a lot of other rural areas were the same.
Five metal rings full of batter bubbling on an electric griddle.
Nine golden brown crumpets resting on a metal rack. They are beautiful.
As part of my adventures in finding things I can still eat, I decided to find out what crumpets are like. I tried @diane.dianeduane.com’s recipe, and they were fabulous and fun to make.
Beauty and the Werewolf by Mercedes Lackey rests on a pink velvet surface. The cover features a young woman with long brown hair wearing a red hooded cloak. A howling wolf is silhouetted behind her.
#45 Beauty and the Werewolf was the perfect palate cleanser. Sometimes you just need a good old-fashioned fairytale.
Heartless Sky and Sorrow and Starlight by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti stacked on top of a shelf. A yellow curtain and a plant in a teal pot or behind them.
#43 & #44 These books are very long and very dark. I might need something lighthearted next.
I wasn’t aware that anyone alphabetized like this, and I hate it intensely.
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke rests on a pink floral rug. The cover features an illustration of a faun playing a horn on top of a column.
#42 I needed to reread Piranesi for my soul. I need to reread it every year or so.
The chipmunk that lives in my front garden has appeared. I could not imagine a more welcome harbinger of spring.
The Fireborne Blade by Charlotte Bond rests on a shelf. The cover features an illustration of a woman in silver armor holding a naked blade in her bare hands. A white dragon is behind and around her.
#41 I absolutely loved The Fireborne Blade. I need more of this world immediately.
The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley sit stacked on a shelf. Both books are hard covers and are former library books. A yellow curtain and a plant in a teal pot are in the background.
#39 - #40 Everyone was talking about their favorite comfort reads so I decided to break out two of mine. I love all of Robin McKinley‘s books, but The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown are my favorites.
I lost my 14-year-old kitty just like this in January. I’m so sorry for your loss 💔
The Moist Von Lipwig Discworld books by Terry Pratchett sit in a pile on a shelf. From the top down: Going Postal, Making Money, and Raising Steam.
#36 - #38 I decided to reread Going Postal, but that wasn’t enough time with my favorite criminal.
A meme of Alysa Liu based on Da Share Zone reading: JUST WALK OUT work social thing movies home class dentist figure skating too fancy weed store cops it your quick friend ships IF IT SUCKS... HIT DA BRICKS!!! Real winners quit You can leave!! Da Gold Zone
I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…
I really enjoy the obligatory episode of any show featuring Christian Kane where they make him sing. I’m watching The Librarians, and I am not disappointed.
Fated Throne by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti rests on a pink and blue floral rug.
#35 The kids in the Zodiac Academy really can’t catch a break.
The more I watch Leverage, the more I want to watch Leverage. These thieves are my emotional support found family.
I have some of these in my freezer, and they are my loadbearing emotional support cookies.
it's like the universe knew we needed this
times have been rough and a new absolutely unhinged dinosaur could fix me
Empire of the Scalpel by Ira Rutkow rests on a wooden surface. The cover features different types of scalpels through time.
#34 Empire of the Scalpel had all the glorious details that I look for in a nonfiction book.
Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️
