Finished reading: Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett 📚silly but a very fun read. Faeries, the Alps, and a neurodivergent heroine.

Caleb McDaniel 📚Non-fiction about a Black woman, freed in the 1840s but then kidnapped and re-enslaved for 20 years who was then able to receive a pitiably small financial recompense from the enslaver.

@jack One of the ways I justify my SetApp subscription is that it prevents me from buying non-SetApp apps. So I don't waste time checking things out. In addition, like you, the math justifies the subscription for me.

@tracydurnell So true. As though that age gap was OK because they were both guys? I don't think so!

Finished reading: North Woods by Daniel Mason 📚A wonderful novel. I immediately started to read it for a second time, to catch more of the nuance. New England gothic, some elements of horror but only in service to the story.

Quit reading: Wolfsong by TJ Klune 📚 A novel that takes ten times as many words as necessary to say anything.

Finished reading: Escape From Kathmandu by Kim Stanley Robinson 📚A very silly book but I’m a completionist for KSR. If you have visited Kathmandu, then the descriptions of the city feel very true. Brought back good memories of a 1981 trip for me.

Finished reading: Anita de Monte Laughs Last by Xochitl Gonzalez 📚A very fun summer read. A bit indulgent but in a direction that I have to appreciate. Also about artists, art history, and coming of age in the 2000s.

My husband’s son is visiting from the Netherlands. We’re having lovely summer weather. There’s lots of swimming and hiking and eating of summer fruits. Overall, a good time is being had by all.

Finished reading: This Other Eden by Paul Harding 📚An excellent novel. There is child abuse, which normally means I stop reading a novel, but I can see that it was integral to the story and the overall message of the book is both beautiful and sad. A beautiful island Maine setting in early 1900s.

@ChrisJWilson are they technical? People say Basecamp is great for non-technical collaborators. But it’s expensive. Craft is free with SetApp and I hear great things about it.

@alexink thanks for this review so I know to skip it. I hated Slow Horses S3 because it devolved into pointless violence. Who likes this garbage?

@moonmehta in addition, I don’t watch videos or TV, mainly because they tend to give me migraines. So more time to read.

@moonmehta I broke my leg a month ago which has given me a lot of time for reading. Hoping to be reading less as I get back on my feet next week.
