Finished Ramage at Trafalgar, #16 in the Lord Nicholas Ramage series by Dudley Pope. If O'Brian is grad school for Age of Sail military fiction, then Pope's Ramage is a great undergrad elective. I enjoy both a great deal. www.mcbooks.com/978159013022... #booksky

Finished "The Apothecary Rose," the first of the Owen Archer mysteries set in 14th century York, partially due to the author's (@candacerobbauthor.bsky.social) presence here. I like mystery novels with a strong sense of time and place; this one satisfied enormously. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

At the Railroad Ha hobby Show in Springfield Massachusetts. Vast. Picked yo some N scale laser structure kits #modeltrains

Made myself a big ol’ carpenter’s bench pencil. Wood (Ashe) from the lot we built our house on. #turning #woodworking

Just finished "The Dead Cat Tail Assassins" by @pdjeliclark.bsky.social. As always, deftly executed world-building and compelling characters. He has a knack for taking characteristics of our mundane villains and adapting them for his more colorful ones. "The Three Beards" indeed. #booksky

I'm working through Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga (internal chronology) on audiobook. First up: Falling Free, which takes place several hundred years before the Vorkosigans. SF where people of skill, good intention, and good faith use science and technology to work their way out of difficulties.

I'm going to try logging my reading here. I've been rationing @marthawells.com Murderbot Diaries because otherwise, I'd read them all in a week. I just enjoyed Fugitive Telemetry, which is more or less a SecUnit procedural as Murderbot solves a murder on Preservation Station.
