The air quality alert continues but today didn't rain, so I went out to the library for a hold and to Sushi on Bloor for their lunch special. Which may help the current wanhope induced by mug, isolation, and (waves hand) All That.
Returned two of my books, one unread, and debated returning The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door as well. I never read The Secret History-- I think I quit after three pages-- but this is giving me serious Secret History With Magic vibes. I suppose I could look at reviews but if it turns out not to be that, I shall be annoyed at myself. The trouble is that my experience of Parry is that she never surprises: you know where things are going and they go there. But of course she may have changed: as Chakraborty, whose City of Brass was such a downer that I had to abandon it half-way if that, has apparently just come out with a swashbuckling Muslim pirate tale-- which was the hold I picked up today.
Though all I want to (re)read is Murderbot, Brust, and Ancillary Sword.
Meanwhile I need to get to the laundromat some time, and out of the house tomorrow, because it's Open Tuning again, when people who can't sing demonstrate that fact, mic'd and amped to the max.
