I did doomscroll this morning but then decided to dip out and use another two tickets.

Those were for Columbus, which I enjoyed but not as much as I thought I would. It's gorgeous, but I think the ending is supposed to be heartfelt whereas it feels more like a horror film to me.

A Sudden Wild Magic is out of print and used copies are outrageous: InterLibrary Loan to the rescue!

2. Locus has lied to you--it's actually science fiction.
