I did get up and did go to the office and do a few works (not as many as I hoped) and eat British Indian food (tasty but not very spicy) and not die, so I guess that was something. Now can I do my writing and Internet chores and go to bed at a more sensible hour?

Read: Nameless Magery (Delia Marshall Turner): I first read this approximately one million years ago and then the author vanished, but now it’s been republished because that can happen on the Internet (which we have now). A young woman of vast magical power escapes the evil interstellar empire by crashlanding on a backwards planet and getting tangled up with the local mages and their licensing board. Entanglements and magic and road trips ensue. I’m not sure why I like this so much, maybe it’s the two sides each being sure they know how magic works, or maybe it’s just Lisane being awesome.

Read: Of Swords and Spells (Delia Marshall Turner): Same setting, different and more prickly young woman of vast magical power, more Enforcers being horrible. We get to see a little of what things are like on civilized planets, or on spaceships, but at the end it does cross over with the climactic finish of the first book and we get to see it from a different angle.

Read: Run Away With Me, Girl vol 1 (Battan): Two women run into each other again ten years after breaking up at the end of high school, with their adult lives that are not as satisfactory as they might like to pretend, and there are Feelings.

Written: 110. I think this might need to be thrown away too.
