I enjoyed this and was secretly relieved that it wasn't as terrifying a story as The Twisted Ones. Still creepy but much lower key horror than TTO.

Dr Ms Kat finished reading How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu
This was ok but a bit navel-gazey, which is fine if that's what you're after. I read a lot of it before going to sleep and while very tired so I maybe didn't take in as much of that introspection as I should have.

I did quite enjoy this, despite the themes of genocide, cult brainwashing, and rape/domestic violence/coercive control. I think I'm due a good cozy, low stress book next though.

This turned out to be a pretty grim book. It's a lovely story about witches until you reach the genocide.

Dr Ms Kat finished reading The Deluge by Stephen Markley
Look in the end I enjoyed reading this but I don't know if I'd recommend it to anyone. It's long and it's depressing. I enjoyed a lot of the nerd detail, and its very aligned to the sort of work I do (or at least my discipline); your average reader wouldn't get as excited about seeing Integrated Assessment Modelling or Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways mentioned or featured in fiction as me. If you are inclined to climate doomerism, definitely don't read this.

Dr Ms Kat commented on The Deluge by Stephen Markley
72% through what may be the most depressing book I've ever read. It's compelling - I want to finish it - but it cuts a bit too close. And it's very long.

This book is starting to grow on me. Still only a quarter through it but less concerned about whether I'm going to end up finishing it.
