Happy New Year, Everyone!

Surely 2019 has to be better than 2018 because, I mean.

I've been dealing with a number of realspace distractions, and haven't checked in here as much as I ought. But here it is, 2019! Did you all have a good holiday season? Read/seen anything good? Got a cool recipe? Hot gossip?

highly reccommend (esp. to fans of baru cormorant) a. martine: a memory called empire (tbr in march - i read an arc), which you know about because your blurb is on the cover, but others here may not.
the spiderverse movie is an art film, very poetic, in the tradition of the matrix really, and worth seeing.

p.s. don't tempt fate. it can always get worse.

So... is A Memory Called Empire also going to rip my heart out of my chest and kick it over the floor? I could use a bit of forewarning after Baru did precisely that.

I am not elbren... and I have not read Arkady Martine's book, but I know the author online a bit, and she is perfectly capable of that, so I wouldn't rule it out.

Still looking forward to it!

[elbren]

no, it's a much nicer baru. same themes, different story.

[silveredeye]

Thank you very much. :)

I do like the Masquerade books a lot, but I sort of have to mentally prepare myself for them, they get heavy.

I had a lovely holiday, and I have to go back to work tomorrow. Boo-hiss.

I saw BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, which I loved. And I'm reading the latest in the Rivers of London series - LIES SLEEPING. It's wonderful.

Happy Calendar New Year!

I've had a blissful week off work, during which I took three young adults to see Into the Spiderverse. I thoroughly enjoyed it, which was far beyond my expectations.
