Quarantine: Thurs. 6/4

Felt like summer. The girls are begging to put up the pool, but we leave for PA on Saturday so it'll have to wait till we get back. They did their schoolwork (not much today, TBH) and then played outside the rest of the day. Farrah insists on being outside with them at all times now. It's pretty cute.

Lucia's long-awaited book STILL hasn't come. Stupid covid shipping delays. I'm going to have to order another one that will be delivered in PA. We haven't gotten any mail for two days. Not a sign of the mailman.

I have a live virtual reading tomorrow, part of Hidden Timber Books's Small Press Author Reading Series. I'm not promoting it too widely right now, with the world being on fire (I tried to postpone it, but the organizer wanted to move forward), but if you'd like to listen in (it's on Zoom), you can register here (it's free): https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEld--upjsoGNTTwdI7XBgFIDeiPFPc5YAv

What We're Reading:

Margo: The Ancestor by Danielle Trussoni (I hadn't expected cryptozoology when I picked this up, but there we are)
Andrew: Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead (definitely not snoozy, for once!)
Lucia: nothing; she just mournfully waits by the door for the mail to show up
Greta: School for Good and Evil #4
