The Forbidden Book

The Forbidden Book, Sacha Lamb, 2024 novel. This was an instant top-priority add to my reading list when I heard about it, after how much I loved When the Angels Left the Old Country. I ended up really liking some things about it, but I don't think it's as strong a book as Angels. I definitely think Lamb is doing stuff I'm interested in and I'll want to read all the next things they write, but I don't have that "everyone needs to reeeead this" feeling.

Disadvent 5 & 6

Did a bunch of work yesterday sorting and repacking some boxes in the basement and finding things that could go. Jb's college psych textbook. My childhood easter basket. Some Christmas cards. Some old calendars and a couple of magazine issues that I have no idea now why I had. Today I used my disadventing energy driving some bins and boxes to the storage unit. I guess that's not really disadventing because they're going to readvent someday post-basement-improvement.
