Reading?

 It's been a slow reading week. I don't really have that much to report. I started listening to the audiobook of Terminal Boredom by Izumi Suzuki, which is a collection of short stories. So far I've been enjoying it. 

The other thing I read is my copy of the TTRPG Camp Flying Moose by Alicia Furness because I am planning on running a one-shot of it at ConFABulous (October 11-13, 2024). If you were ever a fan of Lumberjanes the graphic novels, this is the RPG for you. The game seems pretty simple to run, but I did have to re-work the provided character sheet because it had no place to put the stats.... which seems like a kind of major oversight. But, it was easy enough to do. 

Oh, I should also probably mention that the SIXTH episode of Mona Lisa Overdrive dropped today. Kali1ban and I talk about WorldCON a bit as well as the aesthetics of cybperpunk. A LOT of short stories titles get dropped, so if you're looking for a "is this cyberpunk or not?" kind of read, you can check that out. 

Otherwise, I feel like I'm finally starting to recover from WorldCON. I'm starting to catch up on my correspondence, etc. It's weird to feel like this when all I did was attend virtually. 

That's it for me. What about you? Reading or watching or listening anything interesting?

North Country: The Making of Minnesota by Mary Lethert Wingerd. Re-read; I sent the library copy back to buy one I could write in.

I just finished an audiobook reread of the entire 19 spy thrillers by Anthony Price, all of them starring or featuring his character David Audley.

I'm now listening to Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw, about a modern-day doctor whose practice deals with not-human creatures of various sorts. As is usual for such stories, I'd really rather have more about the quotidian medical stuff and less of the main plot about the malevolent murderers in monks' robes.

In iPad reading, I just finished reading The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, which is fluffy comfort reading with a romance that I'm sure the author thought was critical to the plot. And now I'm reading Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher, which is fairy tale stuff crossed with horror.

I enjoyed Nettle and Bone. It has more fairy tale sensibilities than horror ones.
