I really loved "The Witch Roads" by @kateelliottsff.bsky.social Can't wait to get my hands on the next in the series.

Just finished "The Grimoire Grammer School Parent Teacher Association" by @caitlinrozakis.bsky.social and it was wonderful. I love it when books make you smile.

The Scholomance series by @naominovik.bsky.social is a ton of fun. Just finished devouring "The Last Graduate". Can't wait to start on the third book.

The universe of Murderbot just keeps getting better each time. "Platform Decay" by @marthawells.com is fab.

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

My review of "Automatic Noodle" by @annaleen.bsky.social

Just finished the delightful "Dreadful" by @caitlinrozakis.bsky.social . Nice tongue-in-cheek tale of Dark Wizards, redemption, and garlic.

Made up a shirt for Victoria Day. #cyantype

Really enjoyed "The Geomagician" by @jennifermandula.bsky.social. Lots of magical fossil hunting fun.

I have a deep dislike for people that finish an ebook and hang onto it until the hold expires instead of returning it to the library. That's top level dog-in-a-manger stuff.

Just finished "The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart" by @stephanieburgis.bsky.social . Had a perma-smile on my face for most of the book. Great story for young and old.

Really enjoyed "The Faraway Inn" by @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social . Cozy magical Inn. Cake and Tea. Can't go wrong with that.

Hey @midtoad.bsky.social, seems to me that today might be one of those days of note for you. Enjoy your day of note.

More top-notch banter between Veronica and Stoker in "A Ghastly Catastrophe" by @deannaraybourn.bsky.social Hanging out in their world is always a treat.

I would go watch this every day.

Red breasted nuthatch is still pecking away making a home in my mountain ash. He's been at it half heartedly for a couple of weeks. Seems to be working in earnest now though. Getting things done before the next dump of snow. #yyc

Today's gem from "The Cat Who Saved The Library" by Sosuke Natsukawa: "The most important things always reside in the heart."

Finished "The Cat Who Saved Books" by Sosuke Natsukawa. #1 takeaway is Books Teach Empathy. 100% true.

Just finished Sujata Massey's latest Perveen Mistry book "The Star From Calcutta". Such a great series.

Catching up on my backlog and I’m literally yelling “no fucking way!” like a twelve year old watching the final Avengers Endgame battle. Just banger after science banger. How could you NOT want your country doing cool future shit like this? www.volts.wtf/p/whats-the-...

What's My JND? 0.0046 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

Also, just finished "Murder on Harley Street" by @cjarcher.bsky.social. Always a good time hanging out with Cleo. Now onto CJ's new series "Laws of Witchcraft".

Just finished "The Tomb of Dragons" by @pennyvixen.bsky.social . The whole "The Cemeteries of Amalo Trilogy" is an absolute joy.

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

Frieren stopped by my newest terrarium to catch up on some grimoire reading. #terrarium #frieren #polkadotplant #anubiasnana #maidenheadfern #sphagnummoss #sheetmoss #turtlevine #redfittonia #whitefittonia

OMG how I enjoyed "A Drop of Corruption" by Robert Jackson Bennett. And a lot of that joy comes from the fantastic narration by Andrew Fallaize. His Ana is so bonkers that it brings me joy.

@devinheroux.bsky.social what is up with the abysmal coverage of the opening ceremonies? Commercials every 5 min or less? NBC didn't go to commercial during the first 40 minutes. No excuse for our public broadcaster to do such a poor job.

What the hell CBC? Commercials every 5 min? It's hard to believe NBC's coverage is better than yours. #olympics

Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I'm surprised I haven't seen any headlines reading "Trump's Bored of Peace"

The Temeraire series by @naominovik.bsky.social is a fantastical reimagining of the time around the Napoleonic war...with dragons. Great fun from start to finish.

Really enjoyed Isabella Nagg and the Pot of Basil by @deathbybadger.bsky.social. Great story full of humour and the occasional corpse.

Happy Festivus everyone. For this year's airing of grievances please simply refer to the internet.

Compost bin is happy today.

There are tufts of dog hair that have been stuck in the back of this chair leg forever. Why don't I remove them? They are from dogs I have known.

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult. But not impossible. Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

Celebrating the Day of the Dead in one of the best ways possible. Watching The Book of Life...again.

Good series Blue Jays. You should be proud.
