I know Ursula Vernon has a lot of stories under her belt, but until I read Jackalope Wives (LeVar Burton Reads) I hadn't read anything of hers. Then I read A Wizard's Guide To Defensive Baking which I'm going to go back and rate because I can't get it out of my head.

In that one (and Minor Mage) there's this recurring theme of Children having to do things because adults in their lives failed them. I don't mean in the usual kid lit way. I mean in Minor Mage, the protagonist sets off for a quest he was already going to go on because an angry mob forced him out of town. He's 12. Maybe I just need to read more Middle Grade, but it feels like T. Kingfisher forever amazes me

So Good!

Well, damn. I'm caught up now

Had to return it to the library. Got to Part III. Maybe another time

Checked it out again, had to rush through

Grabbed this on a whim on libby (no I have not replaced my library card yet, hopefully this weekend) because I really liked Groff's "Fates and Furies" and I thought "You know what I need a little spinach in my reading diet" (as in: literary fiction to chew on). I like what I've read so far. But if you hate looking up words to find out the reason you don't know them is they're archaic and no longer used, you may want to try a different Groff book. Like "Fates and Furies", that's modern.

A+ touching manga

There was a LONG hold list for this one. But I just got my (digital) copy. I don't want this series to end!!!!!

Listened to the Levar Burton Reads Podcast verison of this.

Need to return to library. It's probably a fine book but it didn't grab me. Maybe another time

Had to find a different way to continue this book after the substack stopped updating.

Today's emailed section started with THAT scene (chapter 34) and I wish I had made popcorn this morning.

READ IT

I think this is worth a read if your library has it. Allistic (Non-Autistic) people will learn things, hell, I'm autistic and I still learned stuff.
