And omg the weather is horrid. So far we haven't gotten any of the freezing rain/wintry mix the weather guys talked about, but it is COLD and dark and drizzly. It's supposed to be nice again by the weekend. I hope so, because I really need a haircut.

There were a lot of birds at the feeders this morning -- goldfinches, chickadees, a wren, a woodpecker -- and about a half-dozen juncos on the ground.

Anyway. The last book I read in 2018 was Naomi Novik's Spinning Silver, and I thought it was GREAT. Seriously, I am in awe of Novik's world-building and how she managed to juggle and coordinate SO MANY separate narrative voices. This is a long read (400+ pages) but wow it is really good. Currently reading Andy Duncan's An Agent of Utopia: New and Selected Stories, and so far I am enjoying it.
