“The Gentleman and his Vowsmith” by Rebecca Ide is .. utterly fantastic. This bends back & forth from duty to mystery & love, just constantly! The characters engaged me & I was so relieved my favorite didn’t get murdered 😂 It was recommended by author Melissa Caruso, & I’m so happy I read it!!!

I really enjoyed “The Two Lies of Faven Sythe” ~ by Megan O’Keefe It takes an almost princess character (sheltered, naive, bored) & tosses her into pirates!! 😂 I didn’t see any of the twists coming & constantly laughed at the banter! What well made characters 💖 Deeply enjoyed & will read again!!!

World Health has made a clear & beautiful announcement about autism, vaccines & acetaminophen! Awesome!! www.who.int/news/item/24...

Just finished “The Witch Roads” by Kate Elliott 💜 a fantasy! It has a completely different vibe than her sci-fi “Unconquerable Sun” series. I’d have been impressed by that alone. The main character carving out joy in a difficult world was inspiring 🩷 and the cliffhanger is so good!!

I’ve studied art history & never seen this O.O five generations??

I’ve read the updated “terms of use” that Microsoft has set for the end of this month. The AI Services > Usage Restrictions section is new & it’s got a lot about law enforcement. I’m not an expert, sadly, but found it surprising & sharing. Source: www.microsoft.com/en-us/servic...

Flora and Fauna🌿

Damn. Gorgeous. ~ this is a local mountain, with an old lost-gold-mine legend. A favorite tale, when I was a kid 💛 Amazing to see it “in the wild” like this

Becoming obsessed with this loverly “Orange Tart of the Sun”… I’ve made many tarts, but could I succeed at candied orange slices..? Remember to not let something boil over 10 times..? The odds are against me 😞

Welp. Making my own Kirby board game, cuz the kidz demands it & that’s healthier than buying a video game 😅 #Crafty
