200 pages into House of Sky and Breath and we finally hit the plot point that is going to be the guiding thread for the novel. Also, a character twist I did not see coming. I’ve been sneaking to be early this week to give myself more time to read.

Orb Farm is an online game with old school graphics. You get to build an aquatic ecosystem. It’s oddly fun.
