    1. Thank you! I finished it last night and I wish we knew for sure. The not knowing and having no closure is hard. But no way in hell would I follow the same path!

  2. I *think* I have 'Rival Queens' and I can see why the swearing book appealed... [grin]

    The weather has improved here (3 dry days IN A ROW!) so I've been shopping.... Which means... BOOKS! But I think you'll only be interested in 2 or possibly 3 of them. So:

    Fiction:

    The Last Unicorn by Peter S Beagle
    This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone
    Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
    Napoleon's Spy by Ben Kane

    Non-Fiction:

    Post Wall, Post Square - Rebuilding the World After 1989 by Kristina Spohr
    Roaring Girls - The Extraordinary Lives of History's Unsung Heroines by Holly Kyte
    All the Lives We Ever Lived - Seeking Solace in Virginia Woolf by Katharine Smyth
    The Wordhord - Daily Life in Old English by Hana Videen
    Diary of an Invasion by Andrey Kurkov

    1. What are you trying to imply? That I fucking swear too much? lol

      Roaring Girls and The Wordhord for sure. Possibly Hey Hi Hello and Rigged. Library has Wordhord so I put it on hold, but no luck on Roaring Girls. But I will find it!
