I’m enjoying The Chicken Salad War. Having started with the royals, it’s fun to see them through the eyes of others.
Congrats, Susan! Ms. Bujold was always lovely when I was on the listserve for fans of her books.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Always Anti-fascist!
I wrote this review and wondered if people here want to see it. [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I haven't read much (any? Can't remember) Kinsella, but that sounds intriguing
Huh, someone is continuing the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo books. Not sure why but I find that surprising.
More relevantly to my immediate reading plans - new Rivers of London just came out! I finished the library book I was listening to driving to pick up lunch (The Mermaid the Witch and the Sea, which I had to take to runs at but ended up liking. It's an interesting take on mermaids. And witches. And pirates. There's a sequel which I have waiting in the wings) so I can start listening to Stone & Sky after work, hooray!

Nice! I just listened to The Disappearing Spoon, which is about the periodic table (and its elements, as you might imagine), and was thoroughly enjoyable and interesting.
I stalled out on reading. I need to figure out where I want to pick up.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, there were maybe a couple of books written by another author in the series, and now another author is taking up the reins. I read the first two, but I don't think I finished the third written by Larsson.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In a perfect world, I would be able to spend all day rewatching the season so far, watch the finale, and then read that. Stupid not perfect world

Ooh. I have not watched the show (I have not watched any tv lately, but am thinking of paying for it for a month and bingeing)

It’s so good.
Despite the tragedy of my not being able to spend all day wrapped in a cocoon of MurderBot, the evening of MurderBot finale followed by new story [link] was Pretty Darn Good
Now I want to reread all the books and rewatch the season. That would conflict with all the new books I keep hearing about and wanting to read, alas. Not sure how that’s gonna resolve…
