Short mysteries, mostly nice. Somehow, I often like the stories in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine more. Just my taste, I guess.
1. Work assisting with local floods
2. 5‘7”
3. Arkansas, USA for 12 years this past time around
4. Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, Cymbeline by Shakespeare, Wytches: Vol 1, and Salt by Nayyirah Waheed. I‘ve been hitting the branching out pretty hard lately.
