What I’ve Just Finished Reading
Reread Behind a Mask by Louisa May Alcott, in which a seemingly innocent governess schemes her way to the top of the social ladder. Perfect for that rainy weekend.
Air Logic by Laurie J. Marks, the long-awaited final book in the Elemental Logic series. This series starts out with a war, the Shaftali against the Sainnites who invaded them, but most of it is about ending the war and rebuilding the country after it. It's very queer and very found family - the best kind where the narrative has the characters earn the moniker. Most of our main characters have an elemental "talent" that influences how they think and act. The way the plot unfolds also relates to the element that titles each book, which I didn't realize until I read Air Logic.

What I'm Reading Now
The Mysterious Key, which is the same volume as Behind a Mask. I recall thinking this one was just okay.
It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas, the second book in the Wallflowers series. The first book has too long a waiting list so I started it.
TV
I finished season 7 of MASH on Sunday, so now I've seen the whole thing except for the first 5 episodes of season 8.
