G’morning folks. It’s been a tiring week, as my sleeping schedule has been topsy-turvy. I had to go to my parents’ house to get internet every day this week so I could work, which meant getting a lift with my wife in the morning. My circadian rhythm is… not calibrated for this. Gah. And now I’ll be up early on a Saturday for the engineer. Bah!
Anyway, here are the other titles from last week!
Acquired:
Some stuff I’m really excited for, some a bit less so, some I’d barely heard of… a nice mix!
Read this week:
Reviewed this week:
–The Rat-Catcher’s Daughter, by K.J. Charles. Lovely, though the Lilywhite Boys kinda stole the show. 4/5 stars
–Lost Languages, by Andrew Robinson. An interesting primer on undeciphered scripts and the progress we (might) have made in deciphering them. 4/5 stars
–The October Man, by Ben Aaronovitch. Very similar to the Peter Grant books in voice, as well as (obviously) content. Fun, but not great. 3/5 stars
–Making the Monster, by Kathryn Harkup. Takes a while to get onto the actual science behind Frankenstein, but not bad once it does. 3/5 stars
–Too Like The Lightning, by Ada Palmer. The narrator is very gender essentialist, and this book barely stands alone enough to even begin to judge what it’s doing there, but overall not my thing and I doubt I’ll continue the series. 2/5 stars

–WWW Wednesday. The usual weekly update!
That’s it for this week! How’s everyone doing?
You don’t realise how much you come to rely on the computer and internet until you’re without it for a few days. When my first computer broke, I spent months at the local library to get access and it was awful. I hope you are back to normality soon and it is an easy fix for the engineer.
I always have relied on it a lot because me and Lisa were long-distance for so long, but gah, I didn’t realise I still relied on it so much!
Woohoo, Grave Importance! I can’t wait to hear what you think of the ending.
I must get round to it ASAP!
