Hammered by Kevin Hearne My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow. This book has a non-stop pace, for reasons that will be obvious to the reader but cannot be explained to others without spoilers. I’ll just say “clear your calendar” because…
Book Review: Places to Be, People to Kill edited by Brittiany A. Koren & Martin H. Greenberg
Places To Be, People To Kill by Brittiany A. Koren My rating: 3 of 5 stars I enjoyed this anthology more than one might expect from a collection of stories about killers, but then I’ve read a couple of volumes edited by…
Book Review: Hounded by Kevin Hearne
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 have the…
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…

Academy Caritas: Learning to Code, Part 5
Y’all are tired of me doing this, aren’t you? Learning to Code, Part 5. Well, I had some fun away from the computer when my oldest nephew visited today. He’s a non-stop bundle of energy! We got the air hockey…
Sleepy, Sleepy
I stayed up WAY too late last night studying programming. Yes, for fun. That’s my idea of fun, anyway. I’ve been yawning all day as a result, and I should already be in bed tonight because I need to be…
Last Library Visit
Plinky asked, “When was the last time you visited a library?” About a month ago, when I renewed my Gwinnett County library card so I could check out digital items from that library. Dekalb County’s library doesn’t have e‑books yet,…
