Facts are useful in emergencies

Rabbit, rabbit! Forget the Sleepless Shores made the 2018 Locus Recommended Reading List! It looks as though this makes the collection eligible for voting in the Locus Awards, so, you know, if you liked it, go tell the magazine.

I slept very little and very badly: from about midnight until sometime around four o'clock when I woke up coughing and fever-sweating and stayed that way. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon.

I greatly enjoyed this Twitter thread of U.S. presidents as snack foods.

I didn't even know there was an award to be had! I think the big thrill for me is just seeing people's names, yours and others. But hell, if there's an award to be had, then fingers crossed!

It is a thrill! And an honor in its own right. But it is my understanding that the recommended reading list serves as the ballot for the Locus Awards, which both subscribers and non-subscribers to the magazine can vote in. I'm not going to win. I'm in the same category as Caitlín R. Kiernan and N.K. Jemisin and Jane Yolen and KJ Parker and Michael Bishop and Jo Walton and George R.R. Martin, all right? But I still hope someone votes for me. It would be fun.
