What am I reading?
Nearly finished Matt Haig's 'How to Stop Time'. A bit similar to The Midnight Library, though a different story, with its flying about. Might try another of Matt's but am finding the wandering in place and time and prose a little tedious.Next to read: 'Death Do they Part' by Jonathan Whitelaw, 3rd in the Parker Sisters' (Cosy) Mystery series. Something lighter after Matt's tome.
My own book 'A Question of Resistance' by Paul Smith, a time-slip novel is being reviewed by a book club in Northallerton & I am going to the club to answer questions and listen to their critique next week. 'Scared' doesn't do my trepidation justice!

Didn't get enough sleep again, because just when I was about to stop reading, a completely unexpected trans character turned up in my book and I had to go on!

Color me surprised! This just showed up in an email from Amazon recommending books for me to read.
It's the first time I've seen it recommend one of my own books. #AlgorithmAtWork

I’ve nearly finished the fourth book in The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series by Michael Scott, The Necromancer.Plenty of new characters have been added to the ever-expanding cast list including: Quetzalcoatl, The Feathered Serpent, Billy the Kid’s master; Prometheus, Master of Fire who’s there to train Josh in the Magic of Fire; Coatlicue, the Mother of All, a fiendish Archon; Lord Tammuz, the Green Man and Palamedes' master; and Virginia Dare, a dangerous immortal human who joins Dee, she owns a flute seemingly one owned by the Rat-Catcher of Hamelin (her name may be more familiar to you in a different context as the first English child to be born in an American English colony).
The action continues apace as Sophie and Josh come fully into their powers, and at least there’s a mention of someone from Scott’s area of mythological expertise, Cuchulain, Irish warrior hero and demigod

Just finished "Take All of Us" by Natalie Leif. Far outside the genres/themes I usually enjoy but I enjoyed it nonetheless, in large part due to how thoroughly it delves into disability justice issues. Lots of great stuff about who deserves to take up space, performing perfect victomhood, etc.

Zu Andy Weirs Behauptung, Buch und Film seien einfach unpolitische Unterhaltung 😉 https://youtu.be/PmpXYBsRtHc? Ich sage nicht dass es ein schlechtes Buch ist, Harald Lesch hat es wegen Science gefallen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M3zsxgTzbY - es ist halt ein "Männer machen Raketendinge" Buch und damit weniger etwas für mich persönlich als eine #Shadowgast Fanfiction, ein #Elminster-Roman oder die im Hintergrund von #CriticalRole #VoxMachina Ep1 zu sehende Graphic Novel "Saga". #AmReading #ProjectHailMary #SciFi

It could be that I just need to grieve the loss of Goodreads, but maybe there's a solid replacement? I find The Storygraph to feel overly minimalistic and unsatisfying, cold and impersonal. What do you all use?

I’m reading a strange and interesting graphic novel called A Castle in England, written by Jamie Rhodes. It’s episodes from the history of Scotney Castle in Kent, based on what was happening politically and socially in England during the respective periods. Each episode is illustrated by somebody different. I’ve read a section about the Peasants’ Revolt and now I’m reading about Elizabethan era religious persecution. Each episode comes with the family tree of the castle’s inhabitants for that era. An unusual concept.

A Short Stay In Hell. Steven Peck.
You just died, and the hell assigned to you - it’s temporary the demon explains- is an endless library that contains all the books that ever could be written, and all you have to do is find the book that describes your life; you initially muse that things could be worse, but are soon forced to reconsider that.
