Happy "you know what" day.


I'm still reading The Last Mandarin by Louise Penny and Melissa Fung. It kind of drags on in the middle. First it was hard to put down, now it's hard to pick up.

Listened to The Tree of Light and Flowers by Thomas Perry. Jane Whitefield has spent over a decade rescuing and sheltering people from dangerous foes, taking them to new locations, and teaching them to live under new identities. Now she has to do the same for herself and her new family.

Now I'm listening to the extremely funny So Far Gone by Jess Walter. "...a hilarious, empathetic, and brilliantly provocative adventure through life in modern America, about a reclusive journalist forced back into the world to rescue his kidnapped grandchildren." Just came out last year so it's very spot-on.

Stay safe out there.
