Then, in unison, they brought their heavy tools down upon her foot. Agatha shrieked and began hopping about, swearing like a professor with tenure.

I remember liking the first book several years ago, but wasn't in the headspace to pick up a book about a necromancer protagonist.
Glad I waited until I was ready. This book is a more tight tale than the first one. The first is more a series of happenings to set up the worldbuilding, but this was largely one solid tail.
The cover can tell you more about the story, but female protagonist, necromancer, one woman arm of the government and a surgeon, interesting misfit cast, and sapphic romance.
Good books.

Aelis is full of herself, but in a charming way.
@klara@wandering.shop I've felt the same way. Been able to put uBlock and DuckDuckGo's tracking filter on my Dad's tablet, but still.

So, "widdershins" I've heard as a British term for counterclockwise. (Largely thanks to the enjoyable widdershinscomic.com ) But sunwise is a new one. looks it up Apparently real too.

If you're looking for sapphic fantasy, this is a series for you. There's a lot more in this sequel than the first, but still.

*Onoma, I don't speak to you much unless it is to invoke your name in a curse. I don't know if you hear that, or this, and I don't know that you care. But I do think you care about the perversion and elision of death that the animated corpses represent. Grant us your favor as we destroy them.

This book series is interesting in that not only is the main character a necromancer, but one opposed to the reanimation of the dead. In this world by this point, necromancers are more surgeons and healers than letting people know about their body's extended warranty.
It's also gay, but not mentioned here.
"The last place Lana Lee thought she would ever end up is back at her …
A cozy mystery set in the suburbs of Cleveland, a mall owner is killed and there are a bunch of suspects. Lana Lee, a waitress at her parent's implicated noodle shop, starts investigating.

I don't read a lot of cozies, but I did enjoy this one. There is some flair of locale, but not too much that I had to constantly look things up. The mystery wasn't too hardboiled, but wasn't super obvious either. No scooby-doo ending, which is good. The romantic subplot, if it was rated by spiciness, would be a packet of pepper from a fast food joint. Which is fine by me.
I don't think it was anything revolutionary, but I enjoyed it.
Hopefully there's enough meat on it for a two hour discussion for the book club I arranged this around Monday.

Content warning I guess I have a PS4 now? What's good on it that isn't on the Switch?
@klara@wandering.shop Hmm...trying to think of things exclusive to the playstation.
FF VII R 1 might be on Steam now? But it's a good game. FF VII R 2 is PS5 only sadly.
Death Stranding is a unique one. I think also on steam now. Kojima breaks free of Konami's rails and goes completely off them. The walking and story I really enjoy, the stealth/horror less so.
Gravity Rush 1/2. Oddball action RPG that the main character can control which direction is Down. Originally for the Vita
Anything from Studio Japan (RIP) I don't know if Ico is on PS4, but The Last Guardian and Shadow of the Colossus are. Very unique and largely contemplative.
Knack 1/2: Not the best action platformers, but were made to show off the hardware at the time.
The Unfinished Swan: is more of indie fare. Explore a minimalist world following a swan. light platforming mechanics, puzzle solving, etc.
Of these, I'd most recomend Death Stranding, The Last Guardian, and the Unfinished Swan.
This book makes fun of birds by giving accurate descriptions in the negative. Tongue in cheek, you learn a lot by taking it as scarcasm.
Worth a listen, though a book with pictures might be better.
Fun book.
