I've enjoyed this cozy, slice of life series, and was happy that it didn't drag out the relationship milestones like so many similar books do. The many meat-based meals discussed throughout were an unwelcome distraction but I enjoyed the character interactions.

There were definitely more moments in this novel where I was dismayed by unpleasant old attitudes. That distracted from what was an otherwise fun read. Anne continued to be a character it was rewarding to see grow up.

@knizer I'm about two thirds through the book and loving it. It's probably going to my favourite of Huff's urban fantasies. It's available on Hoopla as an audiobook already, which surprised me since it came out this week.

Monáe and collaborators have produced an excellent sci fi short story collection, fleshing out a dystopian but hopeful future world that was first expressed in Monáe's music.

Doctorow is in fine form here, delivering a thrilling story set in the early days of personal computers. There's more emotional impact here than I expected, and the retro technology involved makes it a fascinating look at early hardware hacking.
