Spiky

Yesterday I spun more grey Gotland, did the laundry and hung it out on the
line, knit a dishcloth, and finished reading The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice
and Virtue, a work of queer historical fiction set in 1700s Britain &
Europe. It was entertaining, but not world-shatteringly so, in spite of
brigands and royal balls and alchemy and catacombs and Muslim pirates and a
slightly unreliable narrator and everything else. If you lack a mild
allergy to self-centered assholes you may like it better. I refreshed my
wishlist with Nebula nominees (congrats NKJemisin on The Stone Sky!) and am
now reading The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter.
