Book 6 of 2026 💙📚: Pears and Perils by Drew Hayes. I think this is one of his first couple of books. It's silly, but I'm a sucker for his stuff.

Book 5 of 2026 💙📚: Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein. Despite the cover I picked here, I read the 1961 edition, not the 1991 uncut edition.

Book 4 of 2026 💙📚: The Tiger and the Cosmonaut by Eddy Boudel Tan. More litfic than I generally go in for, but it was nominated for the Giller Prize last year. A bit mystery; a lot of 'coming home' and dealing with family and identity, in this case a queer Chinese-Canadian.

This is our compromise, where I get to have the laptop, but she’s on my lap and mostly immobilizing one of my arms.

Cat tax: a roundup of pictures of Hash Brown sitting in unusual places.
![Okay, this is not an unusual place, but she's wearing a scarf! She looks alarmed. [Calico cat wearing a small scarf sitting on a bed.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lxyjvn4253qzkdzlx6mtvvrd/bafkreihj3gjykkszvph4odgavwunwrf7j5nnbbuarbswy2yswx6y6umcbq@jpeg)

I know it’s late, but I thought you could use a picture of a cat sitting in a ridiculous way. There’s nothing under her middle!

Book 2: Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future by Dan Wang. I found some of the analysis overly simplistic. His discussion of modern China was interesting, but I wanted more on how they build shit so fast. (I suppose that the answer is 'the power/money of the state'). 📚💙

This started as a hippo, became a cow, and now might be a cat? I’m not very good at faces.

I wonder how the computer chooses what books to put in the 'year in review' image. I am amused at the prominent placement of both "Copagnda" and "Floored: A Woman's Guide to Pelvic Floor Health." Also, of the 14 books in the image, FOUR are by @drewhayesnovels.bsky.social.
