Started Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson 📚
Okay, it has been 8 years since the last time I attempted Malazan. This time I bought a paper copy which I hope will be easier to handle than the audio of my previous attempt.
Finished House of the Rain King 📚

When I was 16 I went on a 2 week trip to Thailand and Hong Kong. It was life-changing. I really hope she has an excellent time in Quebec studying French.
Midnight at YVR seeing off my daughter who will be spending the next 5 weeks in Quebec! 🛫 First big trip on her own! 🥲
Catching up on my @mekongreview.com backlog and damn this is a great review of Cher Tan’s book Peripathetic by Ruby Thiagarajan. I love the meta-meta-analysis. Gonna buy the book and follow the reviewer 👏 mekongreview.com/we-are-go…
Been reading a lot of AI critique so needed something light to fall back on for a bit… 😅
Globalists by Quinn Slobodian 📚
‘Twas the first day of summer break, when all through the house
Not a child was stirring, not even a mouse.
They all slept in soundly without worldly cares,
While poor Daddy continued to work in his home office downstairs.

Looking through the photos of my time in Iran. Beautiful country. Lovely people. 💔
Me hugging her: “I love you!”
Her hugging back: “I love money!”

Happy Father’s Day! 👔 Family got me a nice hand grinder ☕️ so I was up this morning and cracked open my new Joan Vergara Java Variety from Luna Roasters. Very fruity and full-bodied! Looking forward to dialing this in.
