My second @cannonballread.bsky.social review of the year - Twelve Months by Jim Butcher, the long awaited latest book in the Dresden Files. Actually the fastest I’ve read a book in a while, genuinely hard for me to put down and pretty therapeutic to read as it’s about healing.
Writing as therapy: the latest Dresden Files novel
The publication gap between Battle Ground and the new book Twelve Months has been over 5 years, the longest in this series. The back-to-back of Peace Talks and Battle Ground left Harry Dresden in a ba...

Charles Yang of Time for Three absolutely slaying me. I would lose my mind if I heard this live. Even crappy phone speakers made me scream and cry.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

A less painful trip to the London office this week. A couple of workshops and a coffee meeting today. And then hopefully I can escape early enough to grab food

Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

How about we not get into a fight with Scandinavian soldiers in a frozen landscape. Foreign invaders trying that while going "we're bigger than you, back down" has a bad record.

New year and a new work bag - Roka’s Moorgate messenger and matching sling in candy pink. Reduced in the sale so together they cost about £40! Plenty of space for MacBook, headphones, a book, writing stuff, cables, door card, etc.
And it’s bright pink 😎

Normal weekend service is resumed for me - heading to Stratford upon Avon tomorrow for brunch and shopping, usual food shop on Sunday and first trip to a local antique centre for about 6 months afterwards. Time to browse for cool retro things!

The Magic Of Libraries
My first review of this year is a book I actually read towards the end of last year - Michiko Aoyama's 'What you are looking for is in the library'. This was a birthday present from my sister as she k...

Gradually removing signs of Christmas from the house. Probably about 70% done but that’s enough for today as my breathing is still a bit flaky. Will finish off the rest tomorrow

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

I don’t write fanfiction but I read a LOT of it so donating to AO3 is one of my ways of supporting creatives (fanzines and artwork is another). I am loving this year’s supporter’s pin badge from AO3 (and also showing it in context on my fandom pin banner)

Replaying Gotham Knights as it’s nice and relaxing during the Christmas break. I know some people don’t like it but I do find it’s take on Gotham to be very pretty and there’s a good photo mode.

Only my brother likes a full Xmas dinner so we went out to a restaurant instead. Nice job by Middletons in Leicester - cheese soufflé, rare fillet steak, and a chocolate fondant for me with very efficient service. Now I can relax!
