Everyone here seems to be doing better, though I'm still behind as I only read a couple of pages today. (And falling even further behind on comments as I spent tonight doing the work I didn't do while acting as tech support for remote schooling child today.) But I will get caught up eventually, so feel free to read more! :)
Fingers crossed for you and your family. Come back to us soon!
And unlike selenak, this probably doesn't mean I'm going to have lots of amazing reading comments posted
Also, this. Whenever she's like, "I have insomnia, so here's a write-up of a book I just read," I'm like, "I wish my insomnia worked like that." With me, it's like, "I have insomnia, so I'm temporarily illiterate, expect nothing." :P
Detective work I can do on minimal sleep, though; it's kind of amazing the difference between reading and googling. That's exactly why I've been detective and not reader the last year. (I'm having some luck beating my sleep into submission, but it's going to be a ongoing process with fluctuations, we're not there yet.)
All of which is to say, selenak is an international treasure. <3 And also, magical alchemy is the best.
OK! Still behind on reading, but I did some today so I'm hopeful that I can start the catching-up process, and let's see if I can at least bang out a comment or two before bed.

Ha! Both of you are amazing on minimal sleep :) Whereas when I'm on minimal sleep I can read fiction just fine, and ramble on about it, and while that's useful for DW it's not very useful for salon. Oh, but that reminds me: tomorrow I can check out the second Dark Quartet book :D

Yay!! Not just for salon, that sounds like it will just improve your quality of life in a ton of different ways.

Another 18 or so pages. The Margrave has just died, and Wilhelmine and her husband are trying to figure out how to run a principality.
Totally unrelated to anything, but I ran across this today and couldn't resist sharing with you guys. It's a comment exchange from the only fic on AO3 tagged Peter Keith that wasn't written by or for me:
Commenter: Actually it is the first time that I read a Friedrich II von Preußen's fic and I truly enjoy it, you let such a powerful and talented man become more colorful and adorable. And there is a funny thing that the way we translate his name(腓特烈) into Chinese is different from other Friedrichs(弗里德里希) haha,as he was of high authority, maybe.😂
Author: wow, this is interesting. I mean, he's not the only king named Friedrich in history xD but I guess he's still considered kinda Special nowadays <3 and well, he's my Baby xD so I appreciate it
