Good morning, folks! As I write this, I’m about to take the little mister to the vet for what might be a fungal infection, so you get an adorable picture of him with my ereader — which he somehow turned on while I was out of the room…
Update: it is not a fungal infection. He’s just an idiot.
New books
Got these through being a patron of Ursula Vernon’s on Patreon! Woo.
Read this week
Four stars: The Dragonbone Chair, Swordspoint.
Three stars: The Stars are Legion, Locust, The Horns of Ruin, Imagining Head-Smashed-In.
Reviews posted this week
–The Hanging Tree, by Ben Aaronovitch. A worthy and exciting entry to the series, but oh man, I want the Faceless Man plot to wrap up. It’s not that it isn’t awesome, but I’m worried about it getting stretched too thin. 4/5 stars
–Trouble and Her Friends, by Melissa Scott. Classic cyberpunk with a lot of queer people. It’s slow-paced, but that works for it. 4/5 stars
–Spin, by Nina Allan. A fresh, if not surprising, retelling of a certain myth I enjoyed a lot. 4/5 stars
–The Rabbit Back Literature Society, by Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen. Male-gazey and unfocused. 2/5 stars
–The Other Log of Phileas Fogg, by Philip Jose Farmer. An interesting reworking of the original story, perhaps best enjoyed if you’re familiar with Verne’s work. 3/5 stars
–The Uses of Enchantment, by Bruno Bettelheim. Decidedly outdated and based on somewhat ridiculous Freudian concepts, but surprisingly enjoyable to read. 2/5 stars
–Friday’s Child, by Georgette Heyer. A fun romance, as you’d expect, and I got rather caught up in what would happen even though really, you know the happy ending is inevitable. 4/5 stars

Oh, he’s fine, he just rubs things possessively with his chin too much! 50 euro vet fee to find that out, argh. Thanks for dropping by! 🙂
wow you got alot read this week-good for you! Good luck at the vet, I hope it goes well.
Thanks! Sorry I didn’t reply before — your comment went to spam. 🙁
Yay, the little Mister is SO cute and I think he’s smart. Hehe.. ❤️ Glad that it wasn’t an infection.
I hope you enjoy your books and have a wonderful reading week. Happy reading.
Thanks for the comment! I’m so sorry I didn’t see it until now — it got eaten by my spam folder.
Aw, cute bun! Good to hear it’s not a fungal infection, but I did laugh out loud at “He’s just an idiot” 😀

Well, he is! It’s cause he rubs his chin on things possessively a ton. Even stuff he just marked yesterday… or an hour before.
Plot little bunny. But he’s super smart turning on the e-reader. Have a great week!

I wish I knew how he did it, haha.
Ah he is a cutie with his reader. He’s sitting pretty close, hopefully he wouldn’t need glasses. Enjoy your week 🙂

He’s rubbed a bald, flaky spot on his chin by “chinning” things too much, which is what buns do to say “THIS IS MINE!” He just does it too much!
I’m so happy you enjoyed Swordspoint! I finally read it a few years ago and loved it. I’m currently reading Jackalope Wives, I love Vernon’s fairy tale shorts.
It was a reread for me, and I liked it more than I remembered! And I need to get to Jackalope Wives, Ursula Vernon is always so entertaining.
