Yay! Look what arrived in today’s mail—the latest issue of Wyrd Science. Can’t wait to read it.
If you’re a fan of SF, fantasy, TTRPGs and board games, I encourage you to take a look. I’m sure @wyrdscience.bsky.social would love more sales and subs!

Finished John McPhee’s “Oranges.” Sometimes you just feel a need to read a 60-year-old book about the history of the orange and the origins and (then) current state of the Florida orange growing industry.

Just finished Automatic Noodle by @annaleen.bsky.social. Absolutely loved this story of a found family of robots who open a noodle shop in a future postwar San Francisco.
Seriously, it’s great.

We have a bunch of poppies growing in the middle of our back yard this year. Didn’t deliberately plant them, so it’s an unexpected treat.

My gosh, what a delight this was. Read it in a day. A story that crosses centuries in unexpected ways.

Read John Scalzi’s latest today. Yep, the moon gets replaced by cheese. Sounds ridiculous. But it works! It’s entertaining, and funny, and even genuinely touching in spots.

"The turkey sleeps in March..." indeed
"The turkey sleeps in March..." indeed
![According to Google's Gemini AI, "the saying 'the turkey sleeps in March' [which I just made up] is a common idiom, and it's a humorous way to describe the idea that people may feel sleepy after eating a large, protein-rich meal, especially a Thanksgiving-style meal containing turkey. While turkey does contain tryptophan, an amino acid linked to sleepiness, the effects are often exaggerated and the drowsiness is more likely due to a combination of factors, including the meal's size, carbohydrate content, and the social environment."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:55k6hukdalqo3ubjgio3mmut/bafkreihpcblhxhkcoboiaycuzjf22nhmgkgkmfsicxmb34vmsot7badi7e@jpeg)

I love libraries. What a great way to indulge sudden and possibly fleeting interests. Case in point…

Amid all the…everything…I read Vivian Shaw’s “Strange Practice” over the past few days. My wife recommended this book, one of her favourites. Really well-crafted urban fantasy, delightful characters, pacey plot. Loved it.

Read the first two books of the Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse series by @jimchines.bsky.social over the past couple of weeks. Fun read, lovable characters (human and otherwise), and enough intrigue to make you come back for more. #books

Got my first issue of Wyrd Science today from, unsurprisingly, @wyrdscience.bsky.social.
It’s fantastic. If you’re interested in the world of TTRPGs and their creators, grab an issue — or subscribe!

Damn, I thought “Old Man’s War” was good—but “The Ghost Brigades” was even better. That’s some fine writing there, @scalzi.com.

Finished “Old Man’s War” by @scalzi.com last night. Obviously late to the party on this one, but what a great read! More than a worthy successor to “The Forever War” and “Starship Troopers.”
Also I *love* this cover.

Just finished “A Brief History of the World in 47 Borders” by @jonnelledge.bsky.social. Breezily written, informative, amusing. Go on, give it a shot.
