Finished reading: Lark Ascending by Silas House 📚Similar to Station Eleven but clumsier.

Finished reading: The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik 📚I found parts tedious and way too much plot was recapitulated from book 1 AND I enjoyed it. Looking forward to book 3.

Finished reading: Zorrie by Laird Hunt 📚A sweet midwestern novel.

Finished reading: The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner by James Hogg 📚I think what’s interesting is the perspective on religion in its time.

Finished reading: Ducks by Kate Beaton 📚a wonderful graphic novel. I used to visit Cape Breton and marveled at the stories of people working in Alberta. She tells the truth.

📺 Slow Horses (2022)

I watched both seasons while sick in bed with COVID two weeks ago. I rarely watch any TV so was surprised at how much I enjoyed Slow Horses. I’m looking forward to Season 3.

One more chart because to me it’s interesting how clearly Heart Rate Variability shows me getting sick and then recovering.

My trackers are telling me I’m through my bout of COVID.

Day 6 of COVID

I’ve been in bed this whole time. It looks like maybe I’m done with the fever, according to Apple Watch, so maybe I can start doing a bit more. Our weather is terrible, so it’s no problem to keep taking it easy.

Finished reading: An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us by Ed Yong 📚a wonderful book, full of interesting science leavened with plenty of heart.

Finished reading: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin 📚I didn’t love it. Seemed overly full of itself.

Here are the books I finished reading in 2022.

Finished Reading 2023: A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik 📚perfect book for a sick-in-bed day. With a well-done lesson on privilege without being cloying.

Ugh, COVID finally caught me. Such a faint line on the antigen test, but I can’t deny that it’s there. Trying to figure out what to do on this holiday weekend as far as accessing care.

@help I got some errors after using the new Book Goal feature in Epilogue on iPhone. I clicked on my Book Goal and used the Post button to automatically create a post. It didn’t post and I received various errors. I’m using your Arabica theme. Fixed it, I think, by deleting the Book Goal plugin.
