Book completed

The Cloud Roads, by Martha Wells. This was my reread of the first of the Raksura books. Having recently finished the series, now I'm going back and reading it more carefully so I can enjoy the settings and characters more. I like these very much.

Moon is a young man who has lived in a variety of "groundling" communities, in a world with many such earthbound species. And he can pass for a groundling - but unlike everyone else he's lived with, he can also shapeshift into something rather more like a dragon. And since there's a particularly sociopathic species that look very much like his flying form, this is something he needs to keep quiet. Then one day he finds out what species he really is, and now he has to decide if he can join them - that is, if they want him.

Martha's bachelor's degree in anthropology really shines through in this series. It's quite fun.

Day 759: Catching up

My friend Z. came over today and we spent three hours! catching up. It was nice enough that we could sit outside, which was definitely fun, and great in terms of potential virus exposure, but my allergies are still complaining.

J. had a fine day with his brother's family, and D. worked for three hours in the evening because they needed extra help, and I worked more on my taxes. I was nearly done with the federal part when I realized that I ought to do something differently, so I guess I'll redo it all tomorrow when I have more energy. I hope the state part will go smoothly.
