A pleasingly autumnal little guy. #origami design by Mio Tsugawa.

David Townsend's novel about Margery Kempe and Julian of Norwich has arrived! I can't wait to read it! I take full credit for the author bio; "for God's sake mention your cat, David" I said.

I saw this painting at the Toronto AGO recently and really enjoyed it. Seems dull... then you see the sky babies

Finally: my lego Sherlock Holmes book nook in all its glory!

This feels too on the nose.

Here's a teaser I had on my laptop - Holmes & Watson's living room!

J got me the new lego Sherlock Holmes book nook. 5yo (now reading) said, "why does it say 18+?"
"That's because of the explicit sexual content," said J, sotto voce.

Toronto York Cycle is such an achievement - so illuminating to see these plays in real time, the logistics of it. A communal enterprise, an endurance feat, messy, uneven, absurd, moving.

The flowers help.

So thrilled I got to see the Morgan's brilliant exhibition on Belle da Costa Greene. I was so impressed with how they contextualized her passing, and I loved seeing pieces from her personal art collection.

So grateful to have caught the Morgan's brilliant exhibition about Belle da Costa Morgan.

5yo's very creditable shopping list for the hardware store. Writing's really coming along. (I helped with the spelling)

Delighted to finally get my copy of the Cambridge Companion to Literature in the Digital Age ed. Adam Hammond, with chapters on ebooks, digital archives, interactive fiction, generated literature, and one on #fanfiction by me!

Just finished this, much of which I'd read before in the brilliant history of the GLF by Lisa Power. The footnotes are full of interesting tidbits, eg. splits over whether an anti-fascist commitment should be included in their manifesto of gay liberation (sounds familiar).

Obviously the actual content is what I should be worrying about, but this mixed metaphor is really salt in the wound.

Harvard Bookstore got a big donation of sci-fi paperbacks. I got a small haul of interesting-looking weirdness. Didn't buy this, despite brilliant cover.
