I've just ordered 2 *more* books to add to my unfeasibly long to-read pile: A conventional boy by @cstross.bsky.social and Physics for cats by @tomgauld.bsky.social.

I would read the hell out of a book series with a title like “All things wise and wonderful”, where a newly-qualified vet takes up a position in a country village only to discover that every single case he has to deal with is a magical creature and his partner in the vet practice is a dragon.

In 2007 we had a Rudd-slide. I guess they'll be calling this one the Albolance?
