Reading Update
The Labyrinth Index (Laundry Files #9) by Charles Stross. Ack. These are so complex now that I almost need to reread the entire series when each new book comes out. Mental note to do that before the next one… This one was mainly from Mhari’s POV after the shocking developments of book 8 have had a chance to sink in a little bit.
“Back off, Mom! Sheesh!” -Mayhem
Chris- Yeah we had snow yesterday, but now it’s slush. Hey ho.
Have a great weekend.
A recent post from Lorraine..Is There an Igloo for Rent?
Loved the yarn drama. There’s another drama-in-the-making now over a new subscription-based web app called “Making Things”. Threads in FTLOR and Demon Trolls, lots of kerfuffle over price model, compensation to designers, handling of VAT and other taxes, etc.

Trump is such an idiot
A recent post from blodeuedd..Audio: Toxic – Lydia Kang
I will take your snow right now, if you can send it. ANYTHING to get these fires in check. Our current air quality is nearly 250, and we’re safely away from the fires.
I love the yarn drama thread. So funny. Which is good, because I need a laugh right about now.
A recent post from Nicole..Friday Reads: A Peek at my Book Bucket List (12 of 15)
this is my favorite sentence I have read today:
“pro-acrylic people insist that if your blanket is on fire, you probably have bigger problems than what the blanket is made of.”
also, Cover Snark excelled itself today. ‘Complicated Pants’ had me snortlaughing here alone
I think if I read any of those tRump books I may never get out of bed again.
