Hounded by Kevin Hearne My rating: 4 of 5 stars I just can’t say enough good things about this book. It’s well-plotted. There’s an excellent cast of characters, and they develop in interesting ways. The world-building is wonderfully rich. I…
Watching Telly
I have spent most of today screwing off shamelessly. It felt good to do that for a change, after studying every day for weeks. I watched Sherlock, Harry’s Law and Wallander. I finished reading Hounded by Kevin Hearne, then started…

Fight Brain Fog!
