Finished 'Marion Lane and the Raven's Revenge' by T.A. Willberg. I enjoyed the mystery but there was a glaring anachronistic error early on that really took me out of the book for a minute.

Next up, 'The Marlow Murder Club' by Roberrt Thorogood.

Read widely while you still can!! 💙📚

Finished 'Home' & 'Network Effect' by Martha Wells. Love this series. Wish I'd read 'Rapport' first, though; went ahead and read it tonight.

Next up, 'Marion Lane and the Raven's Revenge' by T.A. Willberg.

Reading distracts me from the insanity in the world.

Just read!! 💙📚

Finished 'The Mantis' by Kotaro Isaka. An interesting addition to the Tokyo underworld Kotaro Isaaka has built. The extract at the end was a little jarring, though.

Next up, 'Home' & 'Network Effect' by Martha Wells.

Reading is fundamental. Fiction, Non-fiction, whatever.

Just read!! 💙📚

I run every day for 30 minutes. If I miss a day, I add 30 minutes to the next day.

This has truly been a game changer.

Tomorrow I'm scheduled to run for 3 weeks.

Finished 'A Botanist's Guide to Society and Secrets' by Kate Khavari. I've really enjoyed the characters, and the period in which this series is set.

Next up, 'The Mantis' by Kotaro Isaka.

Read a book. Read dozens. Expand your horizons! 💙📚

For winter driving, you should have these items in your trunk:

Crowbar
Shovel
Chains
Zip ties
Duct tape
Garbage bags
Gloves

Oh, wait, wrong list...

You should never judge a book by it's cover. I had a math book once, and the people on the cover looked like they were having a good time.

That book was NOT a good time.

Last night, I got pulled over for not having my headlights on. The police officer asked me to show him that I knew how to turn them on.

I turned on the windshield wipers instead.

He took my license and made me walk home.

Early this morning, I was driving along a rural road when I hit a turkey! It flew over my car and landed on the windshield of the police car behind me.

He pulled me over and wrote me a ticket for flipping him the bird.

Finished 'Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil' by V.E. Schwab last night. I loved it. Couldn't help but picture Florence Welch as Sabine.

Reading keeps me sane in a world bent on insanity! 💙📚
