Reading Wednesday

[sabotabby]

Just finished: Spotlight on Labour History by Cy Morris. This is a comic about (mainly North American and British) labour history. I mean, or a bunch of illustrated facts. Comic-adjacent. It's exactly what it says on the package, which if you like that thing (and I do), it's good. Partner found it in a rare bookshop so don't count on being able to find it if you're intrigued by that description.

Slow Horses by Mick Herron. This was SO GOOD. Even though I knew every plot twist and turn because of the show, I couldn't really put it down. Catherine remains my favourite and I will not be taking questions at this time. (j/k ask me whatever you want)

Currently reading: Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich. No real progress this week b/c I had to do too much work at work.

Sorry, this was a short entry; I've mainly been doomscrolling and/or touching grass. Snow.

I experienced at least four different types of weather today and they were all bad. Tomorrow it's supposed to go up to 17.

Snow, thundersnow, hail, rain/slush.

Catherine is 100% my favourite too. <3

[sabotabby]

A lot is coloured by what we learn about her later (and also Saskia Reeves' masterful performance) but even objectively in the few bits we see of her in this book, she's such an excellent character.

Just don't eat yellow snow. Maybe maple syrup snow but not yellow. :P I am still on The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. :D

[sabotabby]

Oh noooo. Nah, we had like 3 seconds of perfect white fluffy snow, followed by slush as per usual in Toronto.

Dang woman. Gotta be quick!! XD

Apparently it is called "wintry mix". My first year here is just constantly learning there is more weather than I thought.

[sabotabby]

There really is.
