Spotted in a nearby charity shop today. This tragic pile had the top shelf of a display unit to itself. I wonder what the final straw was that led to the donation? Or why they were being hoarded in the first place?

Selva Almada - Not a River. Short (2hrs or so as an audiobook), vertical slice of life in rural Argentina told with compelling precision and poetic clarity. I loved this and found myself mentally turning it over more thoroughly than many books 10x the length.

Nowadays, deep in middle age, I find myself assembling and painting Warhammer stuff for my son. Mainly Orks. It's pleasantly ego-dissolving. Here's a warlord guy I finished a few minutes ago (yes, the red is meant to be patchy as the rig is supposed to look worn/battle damaged).
