Tales of an Unwieldy Library, pt. 2

Finished Reading Deal Me In 7♥️: “Carbo” by Nick WolvenFrom The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Nov–Dec 2017 What if you mashed up browser history, predictive text, deep learning AI, and self-driving vehicles?

Finished Reading “The Abbot’s Ghost” by Louisa May Alcott ended up being a DNF for me. I wasn’t following along with everyone’s machinations and Alcott wasn’t helping me out by leaving out the majority of dialog tags.
