Switching gears, I just started reading _Here's the Plan: your practical, tactical guide to advancing your career during pregnancy and parenthood_. This is probably a little late since my oldest is now 8. However, it was suggested on a mom's group forum as having great resources on dividing up household responsibilities.
I just started but am already having to resist the compulsion to highlight vast swaths of the book and then press it on every person considering children.
_River of Teeth_, a novella by Sarah Gailey, ended up on my list of books to read to prep for Hugo nominations next year. I just finished it today and I see the appeal. Cowboys riding hippopotamuses in an alternate US is certainly an interesting setup and it is a well written story.
However, _All Systems Red_, by Martha Wells, is still my favorite novella of the year.
I just finished reading _Jane, Unlimited_ by Kristin Cashore and it was quite an experience. I put the book on hold at the library but had forgotten the reviews (if I read them?) by the time it came in so the setup caught me by surprise.
It's an excellent book but quite different than Cashore's prior series.
