Reading Update
The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness (10th Anniversary Edition) by Michelle Alexander. Very powerful. Very tragic. Completely enraging.
Imaginary Numbers (InCryptid #9) by Seanan McGuire. Well, there IS a bonus novella at the end, but the main story ends in a cliffhanger and the next book isn’t out until late February 2021. Grr.
Temporally Out of Order edited by Joshua Palmatier. I checked it out for the Seanan McGuire short story, but I ended up enjoying nearly all of the stories in this collection.

Middlegame by Seanan McGuire. Totally sucked me in!
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. WOW. I liked this a lot more than The Night Circus. Still won’t swear that I understood all of it!
