Offloaded all my cases to coworker L who just came back from leave, did some stuff on the project with the exciting new deadline, and now it’s vacation time!
Played: Eclipse Phase 2. After derailing (SWIDT?) the plot to explode the 24:12 express to Olympus Mons, the intrepid Firewall agents meet up with the charismatic Barsoomian leader who is certain she can control TITAN nanotech well enough to make the Planetary Consortium knuckle under. Chi knows perfectly well that their sister is a narcissistic megalomaniac who definitely underestimates the rest of the solar system, and tries to talk her down from this without mentioning Firewall. Project Ozma is not shown, but is described, as something Nadine obviously has to go deal with before she can liberate Mars. Next week, we’ll find out whether this works at all.
Read: That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Demon (Kimberly Lemming): What it says on the tin. Farmer girl rescues a demon, discovers that literally everything she thought about demons and gods is wrong, grows increasingly attached to demon, has wild sex with demon, marries demon. There’s a plot where other characters are also surprisingly quick to completely reverse their worldview and help the hot demon boys, but the spicy romance is definitely the point of the book.
