Currently reading: The Last Colony by John Scalzi 📚
Started last night. Thought I’d take a break from the Old Man’s War series, but was feeling a light fun novel last night so keeping on!

I figured out how to post my year end book wrap up in micro.blog, evidence: this.
Yes that’s right, 2022. Using micro.blog to track my reading is great. It has a nice feature to generate a year in review post like this one. Unfortunately, it doesn’t give me 2023, only 2022. I wasn’t tracking my books last year (seemingly) so this is not representative of everything I’ve read, but I’m hoping that posting this will let the software handle 2023 next. Here’s hoping.

Did not finish: Where it Rains in Color by Denise Crittendon 📚
Coming late to Clare Dederer’s The Art of Monstrous Men, tackling how you and I handle art we love from awful people. It is so incisive, dare I say brilliant, not shrinking from any angle. Added her new book Monsters to my reading list. 📚

What a fantastic novella. Beautifully rendered, dripping with character, and not a wasted page.
