LAST BOOK & LAST FOOD
The last book I read was The Backwards Knight by Matthew Siadak. It was pretty good!
The last food I ate (at the time of this being scheduled) was lemongrass chicken, rice, and a piece of banana bread.

Which are that I created potoo dragons with @fallenlights.net for the past in The Backwards Knight and even wrote one into a worldbuilding short story.

Now that TFP is with my editor, The First Sword first edits are handed back (I think, double check that), my Backerkit stuff is mostly in waiting until launch mode (I need to send an email update tomorrow)... tomorrow's going to be a reading day and an Expedition 33 day, I think.
