Hey folks! How’s everyone been doing? I’ve been back at work and busying myself with trying to figure out some better work patterns, like only working during set hours and on a separate laptop. It feels kinda better… and having an offline lunchbreak at least three days in the week is meaning I get a bit more reading done!
I did also get well stuck into my studying, and am currently swearing at the depth in which I need to remember glycolysis/the Krebs cycle/oxidative phosphorylation. Blast!
New books:
Technically we got The Cloud Roads a while ago, but I don’t think I ever put the cover up, and it’s a nice set. And thank you to Tor for the eARC of Winter’s Orbit, which I’m looking forward to!

How’s your week been? Reading anything good? Stacking your shelves with anything exciting?
Nicky, it is good to hear you have been able to get a better work balance going this week, especially as it has made more time for reading! This week I have been enjoying escaping my busy work and the miserable weather into the dual-narrative, historical-fiction, The Firebird by Susanna Kearsley. Take care and happy reading in the coming week.

I’ve been bad at it this week (…as you can tell by me only getting to this comment now) but I shall persevere!
I recently read The Firebird! Some really great bits in there. 😀
Finding a life/work balance is so hard at the moment what with WFH more… I’m glad you’ve found a say to make it work!
Hope you have a good week.
I’ve always worked from home because I’m self-employed… but I’ve only just got up to full-time hours. It’s a strain!
Thanks for dropping by!
I like Wells’ stuff quite a lot. Although I’ve mostly just read her Murderbot and Hollow World books.
Hope you have a good new week!

Same! I have also read City of Bones, which I honestly want to reread because it had so much to chew on!
