What I've Read
Master and Commander – Patrick O’Brian – Why was this so comforting and nice? Did any of it actually stick in my brain?

Death sent the bridegroom by blackkat - https://archiveofourown.org/works/46352779 - Star Wars AU - Mace Windu is the leader of the Jedi, who have been hidden from the Sith Empire for thousands of years. But on a planet in Mandalorian Empire space, multiple Jedi have gone missing, and the actual Mandalor shows up to complicate this. Marriage of convenience and adventure!

What I'm Reading
Memory Library – Janelle Monae – Short stories for my book club, interesting world building around art and music and creativity and memory, but the sentence by sentence writing lacks a sense of cadence. Nothing shocks; nothing stops you in your tracks. This seems like it could have used another editorial pass, but it might just be a matter of taste.

My Favorite Thing is Monsters -Emil Ferris - A comic book I am reading so that I can read the sequel piece for the hugos. Slow going.

The Antarctica Conspiracy Derin Edala – slightly on hold.
