Also, as another endorsement of The Collector, happened to mention to a friend of mine that I thought she might like it, and turned out she'd recently bought a copy but not got around to reading it yet, and then was gripped enough to read the entire thing yesterday.

1/50 The State of Capitalism by Costas Lapavitsas and the EReNSEP Writing Collective 2/50 The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
Collection of short stories, mostly not that great. The incredibly dry, detached tone worked a couple of times but felt like diminishing results from it the more I read.
1. Glass and Gardens. A Solarpunk Anthology.
2. Made to Order - Robots and Revolution.
3. Frames of Mind - Howard Gardner.
4.The Social Brain - Camilleri, Rockey, Dunbar
5. Mercedes Lackey - The Serpent's Shadow - entertaining piece of victorian magical romance fantasy
6. T.J. Klune - The House in the Cerulean Sea - it's got orphanages, queer romance, and magic. Made me happy and made me cry.
7. Melissa Yi - The Italian School for Assassins - it was in an "Assassins and Rogues" storybundle. Probably won't look for book 2.

1/45 Connie Willis - The Best of...
2/45 Margaret Atwood - The Edible Woman
3/45 Tony Horwitz - Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War
Knew nothing about Brown, apart from the song. What a fella, considering he was a conservative christian.
A good continuation to the series. I kind of wish the were longer but then I guess there would be less of them. This one continues to more of a story about the family they are building rather than exploring the political situation of the world or some new element of the world.

I knew I had read a bunch of manga but i didn't think it was over 700 chapters. I guess it show how much I go through.
On a side note while for manga the approximation of 5 to 7 chapters per volume is about right this is not true for the Chinese and Korean manhwa listed above as those are specifically designed to be read on a phone and not published physically.

6. T.J. Klune - The House in the Cerulean Sea
7. Melissa Yi - The Italian School for Assassins
8. Matthew Hughes - The Other - Jack Vance style planetary adventure with a classic rogue. Weirdly been sitting on my shelf for a decade unread...
9. KJ Parker - Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City - amusing pseudo-Roman siege engineering.
I read all the time and can read a chapter of manga pretty darn fast. Since I posted earlier I've read about 10 more chapters of Goblins Night and 22 chapters of Warrior Grandpa and Grandmaster daughter.
And yes it is odd as a graduate of the witchcraft institute can easily get a high ranking government job instead of picking herbs and killing Goblins for a few copper coins which I'd all an E rank adventurer is going to get. Even high ranking adventurers end up camping out and doing messy jobs for most of their career.
2/45 Margaret Atwood - The Edible Woman
3/45 Tony Horwitz - Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War
4/45 Abbie Hoffman - Steal This Urine Test
I've always had a soft spot for Abbie and I think this is the only book of his I hadn't read. Written in the mid 80s, it's a bit dated, but still a good riposte to Reagans war on drugs.
