Finished reading: The Last Druid by Terry Brooks. I’ll confess to reading this only to finish off the entire Shannara collection. This is the fourth book in the The Fall of Shannara series and much better than the middle two, which seemed far too rote. The original series is still my favourite, though I also quite liked The Genesis of Shannara trilogy. 📚

Lucy is done for the day 💤
Finished reading: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is really good. I enjoyed the characters, world building, and narrative structure. I’m curious to read the next book, once I’ve finished a few other books in the reading queue📚
I found a new favourite Tequila at a tasting last night: El Tesoro Añejo
I’m looking forward to another season of The Joy of Why podcast. Great science content and Steven Strogatz is an enthusiastic host
Finished reading: The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal is a fantastic alternative history of the space race. The sexism and racism in the story is infuriating (which is exactly the point). I’m looking forward to reading the next book📚
📺 Shining Girls (2022) - ★★★☆☆
A good mix of mystery and suspense with time travel and multiverse plot
Never a circle, but always delicious
Finished reading: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir was great fun. We should have more enthusiastic high school science teachers as heros in our stories📚
Well, guess I had a good sleep! Today is a rest day. So, peak performance includes sitting around and catching up on some TV 😀
🎶 After a last scrobble on Dec 4 2007, I’ve resurrected my Last FM account and connected it to the Albums app. This should encourage me to listen to more complete albums, while also tracking what I’m listening to. I’ll keep using the Apple Music app for those “in between moments” when I don’t have an album queued up
