LHC #80: "All Systems Red" by Martha Wells. Such voice! I devoured it and requested the next one in the series. LHC #81: "On Immunity: An Innoculation" by Eula Biss. Recommended by someone in my karate class, possibly when I mentioned my obsession with pandemics and vaccine resistance etc. like a year and a half ago. One thing that drives me a little bit mad when reading eBooks is they make so little effort to link the endnotes to the relevant block of text. Hyperlinks are so easy! And I know it's possible. That Jared Diamond eBook I read last month had hyperlinks in the intro, if not in the rest of the book. Though that one could have had links to and from the photos too. "The Red Threads of Fortune" by JY Neon Yang. A sequel! Wow these characters are wonderfully lacking in jealousy.

Wind/Water/Salt Chapter 23 - 28: Need to be taken up.  Chapter 29 - 30: Finished and posted.  Chapter 31 - 32: I combined 32 and 33 into one, removing a pointless stop off to make tea. Almost finished, almost posted.  Made a new Chapter 33 out of part of Chapter 35, originally a Fairfax chapter, but I decided Preston had to do that instead. I deleted all of Chapter 34 but about two paragraphs, and rewrote it to make Chapters 33 and 35 connect together.  Then I recrafted 35; part of it actually made sense when I started and got to delete about half of 36 because I didn't need it anymore. Also read Chapter 37 which looks like at some point in the distant past I combined two chapters together there too, because the POV switched half-way through. I'm sure it's better now.  I'm doing a project management course, and I'm using WWS as the project to manage, so expect this sucker to get finished.  Persephone (probably not its real name)  Last month...
