I am a bit more than halfway through Tainted Cup and I am loving it - the world building, characters, machinations. Totally into it.

So weird. I discovered it in desperation cause I had some leftover and was out of ibuprofen. So now I always have to keep some in the house. 🤷🏻♀️

Caffeine. Midol is good for that. When mine are getting bad, honestly the cold and sinus alka seltzer has helped a lot. Not regular alka seltzer, specifically the daytime cold/sinus one. I don't know why it works and don't really care because it has stopped many migraines for me.

But it is a very "normal" thing for parents to do these days. I was considered weird because I didn't make my teens share their location when they got phones.

Yeah, the only 17% sending a message is weird.

We all share our location but it's their choice. Funny enough it started because I wandered off during an event and they couldn't find me...

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

Favorite holiday food? These days it's probably brussel sprouts if they are roasted or grilled with bacon.
I do like making the festive ice cubes/frosted glasses with frozen cranberries, pomegranates and sprigs of rosemary. It's the little things.

A standalone fantasy about a dragon slayer who hates his job, a stupid prince (but not horrible, just not bright), and a very capable princess. Could it have been fleshed out more, yes, but I am fine with how it resolved.
Next is The Tainted Cup - Sherlock, Watson and Kaijus.

I finished another book! 18 for the year. 2 more to meet my goal for the year.
Finished I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons. It started slow and took me a bit to get into it, but I really liked how it ended. Everything was nicely wrapped up and actually I kinda needed that so yay.

My eldest adores Agatha Christie mysteries AND Winnie the Pooh! And I was looking for another gift for her...

I finished exactly one book - a novelette Flowers for the Sea. Revenge, rage, despair, childbirth (not a book for the squeamish), and hope, in a way. But lots of rage.
I have started The Tainted Cup. I know some of you have read it.

I think I blinked and 2 months went by. Let's just say I stepped in to help someone out with an after-school thing that my kid is in and that's all I remember.

I've been slowly getting back into reading. Got some more of What Moves the Dead. I got Audition for the Fox from the library. I like trickster characters.
