Kat: I’m working my way through Poul Anderson’s Time Patrol. It’s a new audio edition that collects all the TIME PATROL stories. I’ve had company all week — my boys are home from college — but that’s not the only reason it’s taking me a while to get through this book…

Bill: This week I read David Mitchell’s Utopia Avenue, which I absolutely loved; The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant, which was enjoyable but flawed;

Jana: This week, with much gratitude to the Santaman, I received and have been leafing through Unicorns, Dragons, and More Fantasy Amigurumi, collating several fantasy-creature patterns from contributors to amigurumipatterns.net, and Star Wars Crochet, by Lucy Collin, which promises to teach me how to make a teeny Master Yoda and some weird teenagers no one’s ever heard of (a moisture farmer and a space princess?? I dunno).

Bill: This week thanks to being on vacation I read:
Lent  by Jo Walton
Exhalation by Ted Chiang
The Quantum Garden by Derek Künsken
Radicalized by Cory Doctorow
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E.

Jana: This week I’ve been trying to catch up on a few books in my meagre free time — Charles Soule’s Anyone, Keith Ammann’s The Monsters Know What They’re Doing, and Seanan McGuire’s Laughter at the Academy. I’ve made good progress in all of them, but just haven’t had the time/energy to finish them up. Next week: hopefully more time to read!

Bill: This week was mostly grading final papers.  

Jana: This week I dug my way out of a hefty snowfall and made snow forts for me and my pup to play in, cooked a few pans of lasagne, and finished crocheting a blanket. I also began reading Charles Soule’s Anyone, a near-future novel in which people can body-hop for all kinds of reasons (and which, naturally, has zero terrible unintended consequences, yep-yep-yep) and continued working with Ray on our review of Philip Pullman’s The Secret Commonwealth.

Bill: This week I read Jeff Vandermeer’s ambitious and highly rewarding The Dead Astronauts and Bill Bryson’s chock-full-of-neat-facts The Body.
