Reading Thursday
The result of several days of mug and a week of no alcohol, no rice, no pastry, and minimal bread every other day is a drop of 3 lbs and change. It's doubtless mostly water weight but I am very happy to be relieved of bloat, which hurts my everything in the hot humid weather. Humidity has eased off a bit but of course rain is forecast for the next two days. If it falls Saturday my grief will be consolable, because that's the infamous neighbourhood Open Mic two doors down and maybe they won't hold it outdoors. Except they'll probably do it on the porch which will reverberate even more. Shall take me out to lunch and the library in any case.
Heat melts the brain so I spent the last few days reading Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands, a limited loan, and undemanding ebook detective novels: the historic Devil in Music and a couple of almost historic by now E. X. Ferrars' Andrew Bassett mysteries. Published in the Felony and Mayhem series, whose ebooks have the bad habit of suggesting other books, with previews. There were a couple of intriguing Toronto set ones but the library only has them at the non-circulating Reference Library. Fast reads, but even if I was minded to spend a day there, the transit is probably going on strike tomorrow and taxis will be very much at a premium.
So I shall continue on with Elusive, and possibly Tengoku Ryokou, which fails to hold my attention. Should probably reread all my Rainy Willow tanks instead.
