Rules: tag nine people you want to get to know better or catch up with, then answer these questions.

Three ships:

Jaime x Brienne (ASoIaF/GoT)

CJ x Danny (TWW)

Lila x Smimf (A Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom, see currently reading below, as this is my rec for a fantastic trilogy and it’s being read aloud in my house for a second time)

Last song: Depeche Mode: Personal Jesus -- it’s in the 80s Spotify playlist I made for Elder Small, having observed that the local 80s station (owned by the I Heart Radio people) only plays the same damn set over and over again, as though we’re trapped in some weird 80s time warp where the radio was stuck like a record needle. WE LISTENED TO MORE THAN JUST THOSE SONGS. Eesh. And, once a week, I catch up on The New Abnormal podcast.

Last movie: About a Boy and I still have the music in my head (not Roberta Flack, thank goodness, but Badly Drawn Boy)

Currently craving: Someone to cook for me (for a change -- just one meal would be fine)

Currently reading: Mainly fic and news, though I’m also diving into Dig by A.S. King (ALASC 2020 Michael L. Printz Award for YA) and Unpresidented by Martha Brockenbrough (now in paperback with a new epilogue; it won the Washington State Book Award for young people’s non-fiction. I’ve followed Martha on Twitter for years and she’s awesome.). I read a lot of mglit and YA because I am a habitual book slinger, mainly at teachers and kids (including my own) who are looking for something new and interesting vs. the milquetoast selection at Target or what they (teachers) read when they were kids themselves. THERE ARE GREAT NEW BOOKS OUT THERE. READ THEM.

Something extraordinary is happening in the world of indie comics
