Finished Scott Alexander Howard's The Other Valley the other day. A lovely speculative story that seeps into you like a morning mist and asks you to consider what you would do if your past and future were only a hike away. #CanLit

Every once in a while my printer will randomly run a short feed cycle or something... and I've started thinking of it as the printer sighing. Never has its ennui been more relatable. I get why you refuse to connect. I see you.

Good read. "I think that both conservatives and progressives see the library, and especially the school library, as a microcosm of society. They think [...] that they can reshape society by transforming the library." #canlit #bookbans

Having watched the various TV adaptations and visited Green Gables in PEI, it's a wonder it's taken this long, but I've finally started reading Anne of Green Gables for the first time. Still early pages, but enjoying it so far. #canlit

Part 1 of my (this never happens) weekly reading roundup. Finished my first-ever romance novel, The Kiss Quotient. About as formulaic as I expected (not a negative, I wanted to learn the genre tropes). Spicier than I expected 👀. Not rushing for another but I liked it.

Both bits of Ken Whyte's new post are good reads. The first on silliness of Amzn and "The 38 Letters from J.D. Rockefeller to his son" and the second on why Simon & Schuster publisher Sean Manning is doing away with book blurbs.

Re-reading Huck Finn in prep for reading Percival Everett's James and came across this. Did Twain inspire Lee and Ditko?

It's so cold that the outside of my garage fridge is colder than the inside of my garage fridge. This means I have a garage fridge with a garage fridge.

My daughter (8yo) and I watched Roman Holiday for the first time this weekend. I think we're now fully on a classics kick.

If you haven’t already purged yourself of Meta accounts and are like me, just leaving the accounts open and not going to use them anymore, then this info may be relevant for you. Very detailed step by step instructions for how to lock down your privacy settings.

Diane, 12:23 PM, January 17th. Entering The Town Of Twin Peaks. I don't think there's a film of his I haven't seen, but I always put off Twin Peaks. The death of David Lynch has me on a binge this weekend. I'm 4 episodes in and kicking myself for having waited this long.

Started Renée Bondy's [non]disclosure today. I believe that puts my "currently reading" list at 7. I need to stop starting books like it's my only hobby. This is untenable. Xmas break can't come soon enough.
