"The Moomins and the Great Flood" by Tove Jansson. eBook. I read this because Marissa Lingen loves them. It was fine? This was the first one in the series and the only one available online; maybe the later ones are better. Maybe they're better if you read them as a child.
"The Relentless Moon" by Mary Robinette Kowal. Hard copy. Read it because Ed had the whole series out of the library. It took a long time to get going, and sometimes I find MRK exhausting. Her white main characters all seem oddly aware of the Black experience.
"The Martian Contingency" by Mary Robinette Kowal. Hard copy. Read it because Ed had the whole series out of the library. I don't often read subsequent books in a series in quick succession, and my reaction to this one is a lot of why: I found Alma's voice too similar to Nicole's -- sure, Nicole obsessed about food much more, but they both went on and on about "must support black guy in management" and that seemed a wee bit unrealistic to me. Also it felt like MRK was a little bit working through some people in her life not being forthright about their medical situations, these two last books by her.
"The frugal wizard's guide to Surviving Medieval England" by Brandon Sanderson. Ed found himself in Ottawa or Lindsay or somewhere with nothing to read and bought this. It was a little twee for my tastes.
LHC #299: The Punishment of Gaza" by Gideon Lowy. Well, in the 15 years since this book was published, so much has changed, right? Ha. It's a collection of newspaper pieces. I lacked context for a lot of them and I had to google a lot, but it was a harrowing read nevertheless.
"The Siren's Call" by Chris Hayes. For Data Ethics book club. Its arguments relied a little too much on evolutionary psychology for my taste.
