Oona Out Of Order by Margarita Montimore Now, Then and Everywhen was and turned out to be a kind of a spin-off of a different series of books and I ended up reading those books, the CHRONOS trilogy, plus a few related novellas and short stories, the whole of which was fine, but much more YA than the book I initially read. I wish I could talk to the author of the series and see why she wrote it/broke it up the way she did, because there's a world where instead of three shorter novels and various side stories she writes it all as three longer books and all the characters are more three-dimensional, or at least less two-dimensional. To be fair, that's usually my issue with anything YA, so it is what it is.

The Power by Naomi Alderman In Five Years by Rebecca Serle was fine. I can see why it's so popular, and also feel like I've seen half a dozen movie versions of the same type of story.

The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas I forgot to come by for a little while so here's what I've read since I last updated in September. Warrior of The Altaii by Robert Jordan , The Future of Another Timeline by Analee Newitz , Grey Sister by Mark Lawrence , Holy Sister by Mark Lawrence (and a for this whole trilogy, btw), Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid , Worldshaper by Edward Willett , Trinity Sight by Jennifer Givhan , Empire of Lies by Raymond Khoury , The Loosening Skin by Aliya Whiteley , The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter

I work at a grocery store, doing customer service and bookkeeping. As you can imagine, business is booming. That also means I work in a petri dish since everybody who may have the virus but hasn't been diagnosed yet is going to come through. We get people coming through in masks and gloves all day every day, and to get in the store you have to use hand sanitizer, but everybody at the store is waiting for the first person who works there to be diagnosed. It's a when, not if, situation. We'll see what happens. The Governor of Texas, who's all kinds of problematic regardless of the pandemic, said today that he won't put into effect a shelter in place order in Texas because only 50ish of 254 counties have confirmed cases. That's exactly why it should be put in place. You don't wait for something to go wrong and then try to prevent it. You put policies into place to prevent it spreading to people in more counties. I don't understand why this is hard for people to process. If you take drastic measures in the present you prevent disaster in the future. This is going to cause more people to get sick, more strain (and potential overload) on the medical system and ultimately more death. And then people in the state government will claim there was no way to prevent something like this. Unfortunately, the most infuriating part of all this is my dad refuses to accept the seriousness of the situation. My dad is one of the smartest people I know and pragmatic about everything, and I cannot seem to convince him that this situation is as serious as it is. I really don't understand it. It's like the concept of worldwide pandemic affecting the US the same as it does everywhere else just will not work in his head. I'm fairly certain that the only thing that will convince him this is serious is if somebody he knows is diagnosed and hospitalized, and because of this, I'm really afraid that the person who ends up sick and hospitalized is him. Is this a generational thing? So many in the older generation here in America seem to not understand how serious this is or are in denial that things can get as bad here as they did in parts of China or are in Northern Italy. Their grandparents lived through the Influenza epidemic of 1918 so you'd think perhaps at some point in their youth it would have been impressed upon them about how bad this can get. I know they had history books, so they should have learned about it. Yet here we are. People are dying and leaders in America are shrugging, as if to say, "It's just a few sick people." I just don't get it. I really don't.

Dark - really interesting show, liking the way it uses time travel. Three episodes into its second season.

Red Sister by Mark Lawrence

Red Sparrow - Solid, but it was a twist short of being a high quality spy thriller

When I said day or two, I meant day or two-ish, but it's complete!

Oops >_> I'll have something up in a day or two. Completely forgot about this.

Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey

Evanescence - Going Under

Tool - Lateralus

Wu Assassins

Chernobyl was outstanding. Depressing as hell, but so well written and acted. The Boys was really good. I knocked out all eight episodes over a couple days and now I'm counting the days until season two. Just finished up season two of GLOW, which is still hilarious, and just started a new Netflix show called Wu Assassins, which has been good so far.

Right now: Sealed by Naomi Booth Over the past couple months: The Heavens by Sandra Newman, This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone and California by Edan Lepucki Amazing how much easier it is to read when you cut back from watching an obscene amount of TV to only a silly amount.

Tool - Fear Inoculum So kind of them to be releasing a new album for my birthday at the end of the month. Very thoughtful.
