Current read, ‘All We Have Is Time’ by Amy Tordoff. About 70% in and I can’t stop reading this book about an immortal woman and a time traveler, but I also have no idea how this is going to play out and I’m hella nervous!

While living in Japan from 2010-2014, a close friend gifted me with several kimono! I had them in a storage box that I moved with from Japan to Vermont to California and to Maryland, but had no real way to display or wear them. A friend’s daughter made them into a quilt for me!
Two women holding up a quilt made of kimono fabric in a design of smaller kimono!

Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove was so delightful! I thought the description not-so-cozy was apt! It was definitely full of monsters, and there were several gory deaths, but also uplifting? Highly recommend!

In the air, flying to San Francisco seemed like a good time to read ‘Lessons in Magic and Disaster’ by Charlie Jane Anders. About a third of the way through and Jamie is expressing so many things I feel are capital T True. Wanting for yourself is so important.
#BookSky #LessonsInMagicAndDisaster
Book cover for Lessons in Magic and Disaster. Mostly purple cover with a design like cracked pavement with daisies popping through. Yellow text for the title

Amused at my breakfast’s expression this morning 😐
Photo of plate with a bagel with guacamole and two breakfast sausages. The effect of the combination looks like a face tired eyes and with a mouth in a flat line.

Cheese of the moment: Snapdragon from Tulip Tree Farms
The description said “spicy, creamy, decadent” and it is. Way spicier than I thought, but super yummy!

Listening to ‘A Drop of Corruption’ on Libro.fm. Still enjoying this series a lot! Libro offers a great monthly deal (free) for librarians interested in exploring new books on audio. Check it out!

Audiobook cover for ‘A Drop of Corruption’ by Robert Jackson Bennet. Mostly black and grey illustration of a hand with fronds growing out of the wrist at the center and tiny silhouettes of people in the corners. There are several succulents creeping across the image in a way that makes it feel like they are taking over.

‘We Shall Be Monsters’ by Tara Sim is another example of a book I’m glad I didn’t give up on because the second half was 🔥!
Also, normally I am not a fan of books with dogs or children (weird, I know), but Kutaa, the undead dog, was perfect, a very good dog.
#BookSky
Cover of ‘We Shall Be Monsters’ by Tara Sim. Illustration of a woman’s profile with a long dark braid, looking into the eyes of a skeleton, also in profile. Their busts are framed with the outline of a butterfly. There is a lotus flower between them

At the dentist talking books with my hygienist. I asked if she minded if I listened to an audiobook while she cleaned my teeth. She asked what I was reading, and told me she loved everything by @christinahenry.bsky.social She had a sleeve dedicated to her Alice series!

Req. from Edelweiss, ‘A Match Made is Hell’ by Charlotte Ingham was so good, I was late to work (I am the manager) because I was sucked in so thoroughly! Read at lunch and after work, I accidentally left my Kindle behind and had to RETURN TO WORK to get it because I needed to finish!
