Reading Update
Greywalker, Poltergeist, Underground, and Vanished (Greywalker 1-4) by Kat Richardson. Good urban fantasy series about a private investigator who, after being clinically dead for two minutes, finds herself drawn into the Grey – a world alongside ours, but filled with magic and the paranormal. The writing is very “noir” (choppy, declarative sentences in first person POV), which took me a while to settle into.
Things Are What You Make of Them: Life Advice for Creatives by Adam J Kurtz. What it says on the tin. Very short.
International (Monster Hunter #1) by Larry Correia. B-movie monster hunting gun p0rn.
Feet of Clay (Discworld #19), Jingo (Discworld #21), The Fifth Elephant (Discworld #24), Night Watch (Discworld #29), and Thud! (Discworld #34) by Terry Pratchett. I love Sam Vines and the Night Watch.
Reaper Man (Discworld #11) and Soul Music (Death #16) by Terry Pratchett. In the first, Death gets fired and has an existential crisis. In the second, Death doesn’t get fired and has an existential crisis.

Who doesn’t want a cat in a Viking outfit?
I hope Chaos is doing better.
My rhubarbs are coming up nicely, I should make that crisp

It sure seems like “no spoilers possible” is the theme of Hollywood & TV these days. The second Westworld season made no sense at times, and there has been speculation that it was done that way purely to prevent people from guessing what happens. I think it’s so stupid.
Love the look at Hawkeye’s costumes! Highly amusing.
I am so sick of “expiration” dates on food. During the Memorial Day BBQ I attended this weekend, our host threw out ketchup because it “had expired”. Didn’t check it, didn’t second-guess the date, just chucked half a bottle in the trash because “the date said so”.

Thanks for the link to the JetPens bag. I am in the market for a new backpack that will accommodate my 13″ MacBook Air and whatever else I need. Just ordered a Doughnut Macaroon in color Brick from JetPens.
