#books Today's book isn't even fiction…well, I guess there are people who will argue otherwise. Suetonius' 'Lives of the Caesars' translated by Tom Holland, who makes what could've been a tedious book-length listicle engaging. Hey, big surprise: Unchecked dynastic power & wealth are bad. Who knew?
#books Today's read is not genre. Sue me. Mick Herron's 'Clown Town' is the latest in his 'Slow Horses' series. The espionage is just an excuse to delve into the characters thoughts & emotions, and Mick–as usual–puts them through the wringer with unflinching black humor through-out. Read them all.
#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 6/10 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Rejoice! For Kaja will be streaming again tonight on Twitch® (www.twitch.tv/professoress...) at 6 PM PST. She plays games & talks about what's going on in the mighty Studio Foglio industrial complex, atelier, and zoo.
#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 6/8 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) I was planning on doing some solid work in the garden…and I'm told it's going to rain all this week. Guess I'm running out of excuses to not work on those novels. Oh wait! I can clean out the garage!

#scififantasybooks Today's Hugo hopeful book is Emily Tesh's The Incandescent. This is a magical school story that focuses on the teachers & administrators, with an emphasis on just how grueling & miserable their jobs & lives are. Yep, that came through really clearly. I get it. Pay teachers more.
#books Today's Hugo nominee is Nnedi Okorafor's "Death of the Author". Parts of this book were fascinating, and overall the writing was really good. However I started losing patience with the main character pretty quickly, and never regained it. Hard to come back from that. Your mileage may vary.
#scififantasybooks A guilty pleasure break from the Hugo nominated books: Matt Dinniman's 'A Parade of Horribles'. I am envious of Matt's ability to plot out these complex situations, give us character interaction & development, keep everything moving in a humorous manner– while killing millions.
#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 6/5 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) We finally approved all the proofs for the printer for the next 2 books. Now we get to find out when we can expect them to hit our driveway. Don't worry, a bunch will go to our shop as well (topatoco.com/collections/...)
#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 6/12 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Made all our travel arrangements this week. Annoyingly expensive–to the point where there are several shows we'd LIKE to do, but who can afford gallivanting around like that? Not us, even though we DO go for business.
#webcomics #girlgenius #gardening🌱 Girl Genius for 6/3 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) It is that time of year in the garden when you have all your plants in place, the weather is perfect, and the fastest growing thing is the weeds. Those fuckers are healthy and happy and refuse to die.
