I read a book with a dragon, does that count?

Also National Quinoa Day. Hi Ken!

Went to the office, did a customer call, ate a barbecue pork sandwich, was only minimally functional.

Read (novel): The Hexologists (Josiah Bancroft): A married couple solve mysteries in a quasi-Edwardian world where the Industrial Revolution is powered by feeding wood through a hellish alternate dimension to produce superfuel. Royal intrigue, rich bastard intrigue, necromantic visions, horrible monsters, lost magical arts, tragedy, and marital bliss ensue. I liked it enough that I may go back and try the author’s earlier series that I originally bounced off of.

Read (manga): Dark Gathering vol 1 (Kenichi Kondo): A college student who hid in his room for two years due to a traumatic supernatural encounter starts to socialize again, and ends up tutor to his childhood friend’s small cousin who is extremely creepy and obsessed with hunting evil spirits. Road trips to haunted locations and additional trauma ensue, but the spooky little girl does actually know what she’s doing.

Read (manga): Hello, Melancholic! vol 2 (Yayoi Ohsawa): Trombone Girl and Drums Girl continue to have feelings. Trombone girl finds out about Flute Girl and Bass Girl’s secret relationship and backstory, which is not what I expected from how they’ve been presented so far.

Written: My script says 392 words of changes, but most of that was shuffling stuff around for better(?) organization. Kit says she counts that as half, so I’ll call today 196.
