Like we went straight from spring directly into fall. We have a freaking frost alert for tonight. I feel cheated.

Jan.

A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens. Every so often, I get an urge to read a classic novel. Normally, they turn out to be awful. I'll let you know how this oft-filmed one goes (I have a theory that every actor gets to play Scrooge once in a film).
The Scarlet Gospels - Clive Barker. Pinhead returns with a plan to take over hell. Or earth, or maybe both. Not long started this one.
Tigers in the Mud - Otto Carius. WW2 through the eyes of a German Tiger commander.
Meddling Kids - Edgar Cantero. A thinly veiled Scooby Gang return to the scene of an investigation that broke the team. Fred is dead (suicide), but keeps in touch with Shaggy and the story leans into Lovecraftian territory. Not finished this one yet.
The Crypt of Atan-Thu - Mario Scaffari. An old school adventure for AD&D where the party investigates the lair of an ancient liche.
Shadow of the Giant - Ian Livingstone. Every decade or so they seem to reissue a lot of the old Fighting Fantasy books along with a few new titles. Kristi picked this up for me as an anniversary present. Had a quick diceless playthrough. Over the years Livingstone seems to have lost his habit of putting in puzzles that adults struggle to solve, never mind the target audience of kids, but it still hinges on finding one specific magic item or you die. There are more magic items in this one book than all the others I've played combined, including up to 6 magic swords.

Feb.

The Egyptian Book of the Dead. Funeral rites of the ancient Egyptians.

March.
Polar Horrors. Various old short stories set in either the Arctic or Antarctic. Part of a series of books aimed at bringing forgotten authors back into public consciousness.
Spores of Doom. Same as above, but mushroom-based horrors.

April.
Armies of Italy.
Armies of Japan.

May.
Attack of the Killer Octopus. Early birthday present from Kristi that I've just started.

It's wild how every time the temperature rises lately, it immediately breaks a record. It seems like it can't just be 'warm' anymore without hitting a new historic high. It's clearly way too hot for this time of year.

It hit 24°C in my area today, and even 26°C in other parts. Next week looks a bit cooler, with highs between 17°C and 22°C and plenty of rain on the way.
