Sky Daddy by Kate Folk
Sky Daddy is a surprisingly sweet story about a woman who is sexually attracted to airplanes. This book has great characters and is full of smart, unexpected storytelling choices.

Spin by Robert Charles Wilson
Spin has a fascinating premise. Wilson uses it to tell a story about a trio of characters navigating the changed Earth over several decades. I admit, I wanted much more fleshing out of the premise and much less of the psychodrama between the main characters.

I would watch a full length movie of Nina Ye wandering thru the night market charming everyone she meets, but the rest of Left-Handed Girl was a bit meh. The Human Condition, on the other hand, was absolutely incredible. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday

A Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmhirst
The true story of a couple who survived at sea for 118 days focusing on the differences in personality between the two and how they worked together to survive. The story is fascinating but the focus on character makes it really special. Recommended.

Doctor Strange: A Decade of Dark Magic by Stuart Moore
This is mostly a recap of early Doctor Strange comics, without much in the way of commentary or bts info. It's like having someone tell you about their dreams. If I want to know what happens in a comic, I'll just read the comic, thanks.

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
This is *the* high school reading assignment book for US teens. I never read it then, but students apparently loathe it. I hoped I would enjoy the book, reading as an adult, but didn't really. I thought the last third of it was pretty great, though.

The Mighty Avengers vs The 1970s by Paul Cornell
The Marvel Age of Comics is series of short books on specific topics, like the 33 1/3 series. This one is an overview of how the Avengers comic reflected the changes of the 70s. Obviously, I will be reading all of these.

A Case of Mice and Murder by Sally Smith
This is an early-Georgian era murder mystery set in the Inner Temple, London. I had never heard of the setting and spent about half the book thinking maybe it was fictional. It's real! It's very satisfying mystery and a great start to a new series.

Discontent by Beatriz Serrano
Discontent is about an ad executive with capital-D Depression and YouTube addiction, who begins to spiral leading up a work retreat. I was afraid it couldn't land the ending, but boy did it. Very funny. Worth a read.

Big Night and Life of Chuck are both very charming. Sharon Stone is TERRIBLE in Nobody 2. The Accountant has a weirdly stacked cast. I liked all of these movies. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

Motion of Light in Water by Samuel R. Delany
This is Delany first memoir, primarily about his early days as a writer and his marriage to Marilyn Hacker. I'd be *very* interested to read Hacker's take on these years.

2666 by Roberto Bolano

Buckeye by Patrick Ryan
There was a big push to make this the book of the summer. It's a good candidate for that. It's simply told with good characters and plotting. I'm not sure anyone will read this in 20 years time, but that doesn't stop it from being worthwhile.

Future Boy by Michael J Fox and Nelle Fortenberry

This installment devotes a lot of time to relationships between the main cast and the supporting cast. There's plenty of Joanna, Jason, Kendrick, and Connie in this one, much to the benefit of the series. An excellent addition.

My second ever concert was Ace Frehley way back in 1990. I got to see him again on the KISS reunion tour, and then just a few years ago opening for Alice Cooper. If I had a favorite band KISS would be it. We are all stardust, but especially this guy. RIP Ace. #acefrehley #kiss

Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle
Both Chuck Tingle novels I've read read like movies. They're full of compelling visual ideas, but fairly predictable plotting. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Both books are fun reads. But they definitely feel like a long outline for an eventual TV/movie deal.

A spirit teaches a group of boys the true meaning of Halloween by touring them through death rituals throughout history. Morbidity aside, this is prime Bradbury Americana. A bit corny, but nice enough.
