Duck trouple in the park outside where I used to teach. They've been together for a few years now. Always glad to see them still together when I visit.

#BookMail is the best mail, right?
First two in the Raiders of the Arcana series by @jbensonink.bsky.social. Both excellent. There's also a prequel novella and a deleted scene available on Ms Benson's website. (unfortunately the short story from Adam's POV friends gushed about is not online😢)

March Wrap-up. Lots of books were read. Especially on that one 4-day long weekend where not a single teenager was at home.
Love the graphics from @thestorygraph.com

Book Nerd Problem: You preorder the US edition of a book, to match the previous novels in the series, but the German bookshop you ordered from sends you the UK edition. 😕🤬
Why do bookshop clerks do that?

My teenagers went on an outing. The 19 y/o got me an ass, the 15 y/o gifted me a turkey.

January wrap up.
47 books read, 2 DNF'd - StoryGraph says this means 12,305 pages and 93.87 hours, but that can't be right, I didn't add the correct edition for all of the books I've read.
Re-read: @marthawells.com Murderbot Diaries (GraphicAudio version) - my commute audiobooks.

Morning! It's important to start the day with one of your favourite mugs. The tea is a ginseng-berry infusion. Mug was bought on site, of course. Already looking forward to my next stay @gladlib.bsky.social.

Confession time, #BookSky, I don't like epic fantasy books. Yet I liked the first half of the #NetGalley #ARC of The Outcast Mage by @annabelcwrites.bsky.social enough to pre-order a copy, which has finally arrived. I've read about 89% now -life happened- and I still like what I'm reading. 😁 RTC

Might have to change doctors. There was a bookshop between the practice and the bus stop and I foolishly said to the teenager "Let's go inside and snob at the limited selection of books in English." Well, three "shelf trophies" and two mangas came home with us. #BookSky #RaisingReaders

Or get a tape measure bracelet - please don't ask where I got mine from, it was a gift from a friend.

@headlinebooks.bsky.social approved my ARC request for Killing Time the other day. My sleep deprived brain thought this was book 6 in the Time Police series, Out of Time (I've pre-ordered it, but would love to read an ARC).
Of course I re-read and reviewed
