Normally I will be in the office Wed/Thu/Fri, but this week it’s Mon-Tue-Fri due to appointments scheduled before the capitalist classes randomly changed the structure of a work week, and because Boss A is on spawning leave (and just spawned today!), Monday is also a day when I have to do the thing at 18:30, which means I didn’t get home until 210239 o’clock. This is not okay.

Read: Demon Slayer vol 1 (Koyoharu Gotouge): Generic shōnen adventure about getting stronger to defend the weak, which I guess explains why it’s so popular. Would almost certainly be better if the demon-infected sister was the protagonist instead of a comatose motivator for the male hero.

Read: Lord Loss (Darren Shan): A teenaged git is traumatized by his family being eaten by demons, but eventually finds out what is up with that, and other mysteries of his ancient and weird lineage. The first of a series, but the preview of the next seems to be about someone else, so who knows.

Read: Pillar of Heaven (Kitty Shields): A barista gets a job offer she can’t refuse which draws her into the underworld of magic, psionics, and really obnoxious rich people. She must save the day.

Read: The Library of the Dead (TL Huchu): A young medium tries to make a living and also do the right thing in near-future, post-collapse Edinburgh. Lots of creepy magic and hustling and poverty and the occasional high-speed wheelchair chase.

Words: FAIL.
