I Finished A House With Good Bones By T Kingfisher Yesterday. I Loved It! More To Come, But Suffice To
I finished A House With Good Bones by T Kingfisher yesterday. I loved it! More to come, but suffice to say that if you like insects & arthropods and have some enjoyment of gothic-y horror-ness, you might like this book.

My searching indicates that the release date is April 21,2023!!!
SOON
Anyone remember a post from Tumblr past, where somebody said something about being tired of having teenage chosen ones and they wish someone would write one that's older? Because my older sister did that and it's getting published in April.
TORTALL MAP BLANKET I'M TORTALLY NORMAL ABOUT THIS
State of the bookshelf 3/10/23
(I’m so frustrated! I have to remember not to compose posts in Tumblr’s stupid post editor since it keeps eating my posts. Gr…)
Anyway. State of the bookshelf: I’m canceling March. March books will be postponed until April. That includes
On Teaching Children
The Black Tides of Heaven
Whatever else I was planning for March, idk
In the meantime, here’s what I’ve been doing instead
Finished rereading (for the umpteenth time) I Shall Wear Midnight (Pratchett), Network Effect (Martha Wells), and Fugitive Telemetry (Wells again)
From the library, being resolutely ignored: Wintersmith and A Hat Full of Sky (Pratchett) and an America’s Test Kitchen cookbook
Rereading The Last Continent (Pratchett) and Maskarade (Pratchett)
Reading Hamilton by Chernow again (I didn’t finish it the last time, so it isn’t a proper reread)
Reading Over the Woodward Wall by Seanan McGuire
Rereading Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie (this is only my first re-read, and it’s been so long, it’s almost like I’m re-discovering it)
Other projects planned

I'm toying with a post about YA fantasy series that do fun things with gender roles, but we'll see if I get the spoons
Next week we have our kids camp, and I’m still in a box kingdom, so I guess I might be MIA for a hot second. Happy reading!
And let us not forget

Excited to start this book, but ...
