My kid had to explain "the cake is a lie" to me.

Between Christmas and work and attempted coups, my reading has been nonexistent for weeks, but I'm still living The Monsters of Templeton. Undecided on my next read, although maybe the Immortalists? I'm like 76th in line at the library for The Once and Future Witches.

I'm reading a longish series in Kindle Unlimited that I don't care very much about - I want to find out what happens next enough to keep reading but I have no emotional investment in any of the characters - and that might be the best thing for me right now

The Once and Future Witches is so good.

I read this children's book at work this morning and started SOBBING out loud at the desk.

Years ago, I got a Hitchhikers Guide computer game. It came with a "don't panic" button and danger-sensitive glasses (solid black cardboard).

I just started The Secrets We Kept, for my book group. It’s pretty good so far. It’s about women spies during the Cold War.

I had that game! I Loved that game.

Simultaneous tea and no tea!

Does anyone know if there are going to be any more books in the Dublin Murder Squad books by Tana French? I finished the last one recently, and I want more. Her last two books have been stand alones, and I can't find any info when I try to google it.

I'd also love to know the answer to that question, sj.

sj, all the interviews and reviews that I've read about The Searcher indicated that she has been really shaken up by the state of the world, and exploring the stand-a-lone books have been the result of that. She has given no indication that she is working on another one.

The success of The Searcher may not be much of an incentive for her to return to the series, but who knows.
