I finished The Dawnhounds in time to return it to the library today! I also picked up The Mars House. However, I have another library book to finish--
Next up: Dune
Next up: Dune
Finished Siren Queen! I started reading it right before the roof leak and got...sidetracked. The library wants its books back so that kicked my butt into gear.
Next up: can I speed run reading The Dawnhounds? Only time will tell.
(Also, the bookstore tells me The Mars House is available!)

Just finished Assassin of Reality! I don't feel like I got much more from it than I did from Vita Nostra.
Next up is Siren Queen at the recommendation of @tunesandtales.bsky.social!

Arsène Lupin down. He's an arrogant and sinister asshole with an ability to disguise himself that borders on shape-shifting. He escapes from prison by changing his appearance so much everyone thinks he's a different person, so they release him.
Anyway, the sequel to Vita Nostra is still up next.

I seem to have successfully weathered the transition to daylight savings time by uhh developing a roof leak right over my bed and spending several frantic hours on Sunday rearranging my room so that the leak is not over my bed, thereby tiring myself out so much that I went to bed at a normal time.

I swerved and read The Calculating Stars next instead, since I'm also watching For All Mankind. This unfortunately led to me finishing TCS last night and then immediately finishing season 2 of FAM, resulting in a VERY stressful Friday evening. Now it's Shamshine Blind time.

I listened to the Howl's Moving Castle audiobook. I haven't read it since I was a kid. It was a lot of fun! I don't think I noticed how much of a disaster Howl is when I was younger.
Also, now I have Google and can find the lyrics to Calcifier's "saucepan song!"

Leaked emails show works were excluded from Hugo Awards over China concerns

This is one of the primary goals of "AI" these days: to create an empty chair that takes the blame for corporate misconduct.
We didn't discriminate, the AI told us who to hire. We didn't wrongfully reject the health insurance claim, the AI told us to. And on and on.

Trader Joe’s United said it’s *not* calling for a customer boycott at this time in response to the company arguing the NLRB is unconstitutional. But they *are* asking people to sign a customer strike pledge if they call for a boycott in the future.

Two episodes in and I'm having a great time. I love how almost every time we hear from Nixon it's via tape recording 😂
Watched the first episode of For All Mankind a couple days ago and wondered whether Tom Lehrer's Wernher von Braun song would be stuck in my head all season.
Watched episode two tonight and they used the song in the show 😄

Illustration of a young Indigenous girl holding a baby dragon and looking up to the head of an adult dragon. The girl has brown skin and braids, and is wearing a grey school uniform with sealskin cloak over it. The baby dragon is yellowish and has a deer-like face. The adult is gold with red feathers and a deer-like face, with large branching antlers. The background is dark red with some chunky plant patterns in a border.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r66z77uspt6bwbcpprrakxrp/bafkreihgrzmj7sky256lz64p3az2lioicxi5yovwcurlhwcwtujue5gef4@jpeg)

This Columbo book has plenty of interesting details about the show, but also about 70s Hollywood in general. At one point Peter Falk called a guy who'd been hired to write a spec script for Columbo and the guy didn't believe it was Peter Falk--he thought it was a famous impressionist 😂
