The Spine Collector For years, a mysterious figure has been stealing books before their release. Is it espionage? Revenge? Or a complete waste of time?

OH. Cool!
1 - I indulged on Friday and the house is full of fresh flowers. It really does feel like spring.2 - Catching up a bunch of little things, which somehow has the cumulative effect of making me feel like I accomplished a big thing. ;-)
3 - Happy experiments in cooking. Not all my experiments turn out, so...
4 - Rain. I mean, I'm ready for spring, but it's wonderful having all this rain we so desperately need.
5 - The early planning stages of a new book. This time it's Corpse at Captain's Seat.

I'm fine with any of them, honestly.

This could be fun! I haven't read KJ since the last time she was a book of the month here.
OR maybe something by Cat Sebastian? I've got several of her books on my kindle, but (the story of my reading life) haven't found the time to dive in yet.
Busy busy week last week. The Italian translation of the Fatal Shadows Collector's Edition came out. In addition to all those goodies--art, codas, interviews, chapters from Jake's POV--it contains the final exclusive AE short story.

Then the now-legendary LAMENT FOR LOON LANDING (Secrets and Scrabble 6) came out.

THEN the print edition of 44. 1644 NORTH came out.

AND THEN I remembered I never bothered to mention I put together a second box set collection of my novellas.

It is a very deep, very old rabbit hole...

Ije the Devourer of Books wrote: "I don’t understand US politics but we have something similar with the way the UK government is determined to make things difficult for asylum seekers and refugees."It's ironic really. I spent the majority of my life frustrated we weren't changing things fast enough--and now I'm watching a horrifying number of things we did change, get rolled back in the space of six years.
Which is a thought that's a bit grim for a Sunday morning. I'm going to make coffee and brioche breakfast sandwiches for the SO. :-)
That's

It's a actually a relief to be reminded it's not bad news all the time.

Good Lord. That doesn't sound particularly anti-semitic to me. Clearly many Israelis themselves are not thrilled with their government at the moment.

Ije the Devourer of Books wrote: "Thanks for this update Antonella. It is a shame that Italy wanted to do this in the first place."That's a relief. It's exhausting that so many hardwon protections are being rolled back so fast. For example, Arkansas just loosened restrictions on child labor laws. We won't even get into the ongoing assault on a woman's right to any kind of autonomy. Half the time, I feel like I'm suddenly living on another planet.
Karen wrote: "Jordan wrote: "...I'm not sure where I'm going on my vacation. Part of me wants to stay home so I can finally catch up on the cleaning I need to do. And yet, you're right, that's not a real vacatio..."The perfect vacation is a combination of both. A couple of days to catch-up and do some long-planning projects, but also a few days of just rest and relaxation--and hopefully a change of view.

Oh, Karen! So much great stuff happening there!
I love the Huntington so much. I haven't been in years.
