This discussion thread is pinned.


Just finishing The Feast by Margaret Kennedy. This little masterpiece is so funny, and sad. Amazing to think it was written over 75 years ago.

Listening to An Easy Death, a dark fantasy by Charlaine Harris. "A taut new thriller (2018); the first in the Gunnie Rose series. Set in a fractured United States, in the southwestern country now known as Texoma." Quite entertaining. I always thought the HRE was Holy Roman Empire. Silly me.

I hope you all are safe with ample heat, food, and books. Fortunately for me, I am west of the storm.
