44th book was Scarlet Morning by @gingerhaze.bsky.social - read this to my daughter and we really enjoyed it! We both assume there’s a sequel?? Otherwise may have to re-read to figure out what we missed
43rd was The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie - final book in the Age of Madness trilogy. I loved Orso, hated Leo, respected Savine, rooted for Rikke. There are so many other good characters in these books, which is always a testament to a good storyteller. I’ll keep looking for more of his books
42nd was The Trouble With Peace by Joe Abercrombie, second book in the Age of Madness trilogy. Another great one, was hard to put down. Really interested in how this one ends

41st book was A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie. Excellent book, takes place ~30 years after the end of the First Law trilogy. If you like Game of Thrones, I think you’d like these books more.

40th book this year was The Trespasser by Tana French. Another good one! She got the hooks in early and kept them there the whole time for me. I generally don’t suss out the whodunit but this one had me making guesses

39th was Mickey7 by Edward Ashton. Fun read, read it pretty quick so I guess I liked it. Don’t think I’d recommend it though unless you really needed something

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

38th was I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. My kid has to read a book for school and said “I’d like it more if I wasn’t being forced to read it.” It made me think of my own schooling and this was one book I don’t really remember liking. I’m glad I re-read. Captivating book.

37th book was Men At Arms by Terry Pratchett. Another fun Discworld read. Figure I may drop one in every now and then but I wouldn’t want to read a bunch of them in a row

36th was A Sorceress Comes To Call by @tkingfisher.com. Excellent read, if you like fairy tales for adults (using “horror” here seems a bit much… or maybe not). More importantly it has the line: “The problem with being rich is that you simply have no idea how expensive it is to be poor."

35th book was Locklands by Robert Jackson Bennett, the final installment of the Founders Trilogy. This one started off slow for me - there was too much explaining - but the last 2/3rds kept me entertained and was a satisfying ending to the series.

serious question: have these guys ever enjoyed an actual city, or diversity in any context other than pornography
Tuberville: “We just saw what happened in NY. We lost NY. It will be completely Muslim in 3-4 years. That’s what they want. And it’s going to spread throughout the country.”

34th was Shorefall by Robert Jackson Bennett, book two in a trilogy. Apparently I had read this before (according to Kindle) but I did not remember it. Maybe that speaks enough for how I felt about it? I like the ideas in it, though, and may dip into the third next.

33rd book was Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie. Last book of First Law trilogy - was a fun ride and a great read. I was OK with ending, don’t think I was left wondering about anything. I recommend the series for sure.

30th book was The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. First of a trilogy, fantasy setting, has some ASOIAF vibes. Really enjoyed it (already have the second queued up).

Can’t believe no one tagged @aptshadow.bsky.social - Children of Time is so good and the spiders rule
The jumping spider pet market is booming, particularly with women. And for many, the journey to spider enthusiast began as an arachnophobe.
Scared of spiders? Some former arachnophobes now are keeping jumping spiders as pets

29th was Peace is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh. It’s about practicing mindfulness and probably a good read if you are into this stuff. The person who recommended it raved about the book, for instance. Will I meditate now? Not regularly. I find the breathing stuff works when trying to fall asleep.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.
