Do not meddle in the affairs of apparently harmless middle-aged women, for they are subtle and quick to anger

No DMs because Bluesky won't let me.

I think this is my favourite of all the data that @thestorygraph.com gives me. You can see the clear correlation between school holidays and pages read.

This year I decided to read every day, and today is day 365 of my reading streak. I've completed 67 books (258% of my 26 book target), in print or digital or audio. And enjoyed most of them.

been (re)reading the Death books this month, working up to seasonal reread of Hogfather which I'm starting tonight.

Hogswatch is coming!

(don't approve of these new Discworld covers. If it's not Josh Kirby it's not really Discworld! But this is what my epub copy has stuck me with)

Sugar and stevia glycosides , according to the label. It is delicious and not too sweet (for me, although I do have a sweet tooth so maybe very sweet to others!)

In what may be the most middle aged, middle class thing I have ever done, I have a new favourite flavour of San Pellegrino (in my defence, I am not currently drinking C2H5OH so having to investigate alternatives)

It's been a very long term and we're all very tired. But then a Christmas card from a lovely Year 7 reminds you why it's all worth it.

What I read/listened to in November, via @thestorygraph.com

Currently on 337 day reading streak, 60 books read so far this year (26 was my target!). Yay for consuming books on paper and ereader and audio. In the words of the mighty #BookGoblin, Book Is Book.

The sleep coach on my Garmin says I need to relax today and avoid stressful activities, particularly before bedtime.

Not today, Garmin. Not today.

What I read/listened to in October, via @thestorygraph.com Enjoyed them all, special mentions to
- Transformer by Nick Lane - biochemistry of life, emphasis on the chemistry. As it should be
- Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky - epic, original, no trite answers #TeamSpiders

Ways I currently being mean to @sirisaacnewtoncat.bsky.social - having a hot water bottle in the small of my back (for pain relief purposes) that he can sense but not get to. Poor animal is clearly being abused!

. @sirisaacaptshadow.bsky.social not impressed with "ebook stand" added to his nursing duties but will grudgingly accept it in exchange for snuggly blanket privileges

(also thanks to @alomshaha.bsky.social for recommeding Adrian Tchaikovsky @aptshadow.bsky.social , really enjoying Children of Time)

Currently listening to Robert Harris's book about the Hitler diaries. It's reminding me of my old friend Aidy Mole, who was so disappointed that he wasn't going to be able to read about what maniacs eat for breakfast.

Yes this! Heard a fascist singing Something Inside at a rally in Manchester a couple of years ago and was very WTAF. They really are thick as clarts.
