Thanks for the recommendations! I've enjoyed N. K. Jemisin's books this last year -- wonderful world building and complex characters. 

Yes, I also enjoy her work. And maybe I should try the NYC one, having spent many years there.

I've hesitated to read that one. Might be too close to real life. Reading, like gardening, is an escape.

Let me know what you think of it.
 

Happy Birthday Roci!

Glad to hear his home is safe for now, and hope it remains so. Climate change has impacted so much of the world. My fear is we've tipped too far over the edge of global warming, so extreme winds, unaccustomed fluctuations in temperatures and too much rainfall in too little time is the new norm.

A very Happy (if belated) Birthday to BarleysMama!
The local weather is celebratory and partly cake-ish! 

This one sat in the to-be-read file for a year, but once I powered through the introductory bits which WERE a slog, the rest of the story was engaging and I couldn't put it down. Eri-Guy isn't generally interested in what I'm reading, but I had to share the events with him as they unfolded, and I'm looking forward to the series.
