Read: Flashlight by Susan Choi ★★★★★ 📚

Louisa's parents were people for whom things went wrong. The car got lost in the lot, or the driving directions were bad, of the check to the gas company never arrived and the stove was turned off. They misplaced things, or forgot facts, or disagreed on the facts, with each other or with other people.

Louisa is walking with her father Serk on the beach at night. Next day she if found had ground and he has vanished. The book follows various family members across the generations. It took me a while to get started, then I could not put it down.

I saw a note from Sarah Honeychurch in an email thread about a problem with FeedWordPress, the plugin that makes the ScotEdublogs Aggregation work. This alerted Alan Levine who raised an issue and simplified the solution. Alan also had blogged about the problem, with his usual speed!

I’ve applied the fix and this post should test it out. Thanks Alan!

Read: The Memory of Animals by Claire Fuller ★★★★ 📚

The satellites will probably remain in the sky for years, circling the earth, taking their power from the sun, continuing to transmit their messages with nobody listening.

A pandemic. A teased out back story via memory & letters to a mystery character both strangely contrived kept me inthralled & thinking.
