Stayed up way too late reading, slept incompetently again, but at least it’s only 2000000 degrees out today and the air seems a little better. I tried to grocery shop, but Safeway’s apparently doesn’t carry diet Snapple any more.

Read: Every Sky A Grave (Jay Posey): Similar genre to Ninefox Gambit or Blackwing War, SF future with additional magic, but language-based instead of math-based. When the inhabitants of a planet misuse the language that holds the empire together, the planet might get contaminated, and then the protagonist is sent by her mystic order to euthanize it. Or maybe they’ve been lying to everyone the whole time; what are the odds, based on the genre? The author starts his acknowledgements with Jesus, so I can’t help view the whole thing in a Catholic-vs-Protestant light, but I haven’t actually checked.

Read: School Zone Girls vol 2 (Ningiyau): I lost track of the characters a short ways in, so I think that’s it for this series.

Words: Check.
