"The Calculating Stars" by Mary Robinette Kowal.  Got it for Christmas last year. Very readable. As much as I don't want to like MRK (sometimes seems kind of sanctimonious?), I kind of have to. This book is a delight, though there should have been a trigger warning for all the puking. I forced it on Ed when I was done, and he liked it too.  LHC #196: " Mad World:  An Oral History of New Wave Artists and Songs That Defined the 1980s"  by Lori Majewski and Jonathan Bernstein. eBook. I made great use of Spotify while reading this, it's really fun. Though there are almost no references to drugs and alcohol. I guess it's about the music?  "Elatsoe" by Darcie Little Badger. Hard copy, last of the books I got for Christmas last year. I need to let go of my whole past-perfect thing I guess. This was a great, fast read.  "Terciel and Elinor" by Garth Nix. I will read anything set in the Abhorsen universe. The boy gave it to me for Christmas.

Wind/Water/Salt  Chapters 39-51:   Still n eed to take up comments and revise.  Persephone  (probably not its real name): Wrote a few thousand words about one of Lindsay's nemesises. Nemeses? Is it a word that even takes a plural? Maybe there can be only one.  Short Stories:  I started a notebook about progressing them.  Critted  7  Got back  0  Submissions  0  Out there  1  Rejects  0 Knitting Striped long-sleeved t-shirt  (self).  Just the sleeves left, of which I did one.
