I was listening to Island of the Sequined Love Nun (I am lackadaisically working my way through Christopher Moore's oeuvre in between other things as I feel like it. I do like his stuff but haven't wanted to really wallow in it) on the way to work this morning and came to a scene where a jet narrowly avoids hitting a helicopter and it just . . . felt very weird? I don't know that I have a word for that.

I just saw where Asimov's and F&SF have a new owner (along with Analog but I haven't read that one in a long time). I hope that's good news, especially for F&SF where the owner seems to have been the source of quite a bit of the rocky road they've been on. That's two thirds of my magazine subscriptions, I did not realize I had all my eggs in so few baskets.

I have finished the Dungeon Crawler Carl books they are awesome..

I just finished The Hitman's Guide to Making Friends and Finding Love. Which is a zany romp about a hitman and a PI.

The Hitman's Guide to Making Friends and Finding Love.

Ha, this series was bonkers. I don't think I read all 7 (IIRC the writing quality degraded and they started to get repetitive) but I do remember liking the first one.

I'm reading the second one and I can see where it could get repetitive.

I'm trying to read Primal Hunter which is the LitRPG series my co worker recommended but so far it's a slog and I don't really like the main character. I read somewhere it starts to pick up more but right now I'm just....feeling like there are too many words to describe things and not enough action

Totally forgot that I had pre-ordered The Tomb of Dragons so that feels like a nice gift from past me. How much have I forgotten that happened to Thara Celehar in previous books? Hopefully there will be reminders of the important stuff

I read The Thursday Murder Club, by Richard Osman, a week or so ago and really enjoyed it. I could easily see it as a series on BritBox, with a bunch of older RSC actors. I understand they’re making something for Netflix out of it.

Ooh, that sounds like the kind of thing I like to watch, so I should read that.

Right now I'm reading The Name of the Wind and listening to Saturn Run, both of which I am enjoying, and they're very unalike, so it's working.

And a bunch of books I was in different places in the hold line for at the library all came in at once somehow, so I have a stack of five waiting. The pressure!

Those books are very fun, and the casting looks amazing.

Of course Helen Mirren is Elizabeth.
