A chill day in Ashland. Took a bit of time to go through some familiar shops, and read in Lithia. Finished Network Effect by Martha Wells, when it was good it was really good. I’ve enjoyed her earlier novellas and this novel. I suppose I really enjoyed the pacing of the other books. This one lingered a bit, when I was used to a different tempo. But overall, very satisfying. We got some good character interactions, a bit of a mystery, and plenty of action.

Another Day and a little bit of anxiety over the next book I want to read. While not complete, it reflect a number of books I’ve started but never finished, and books I’ve wanted to read but never started. I’m enjoying the Murderbot Diaries, but would also be happy to relax in Nathan Lowell’s Golden Age of the Solar Clipper again, but I’m happy to wait. I really should add a column that asks why I want to read such and such book.
