I recently and randomly switched my VPN to England for no particular reason. I was later looking for a recipe when I realized: Oh no, all the recipes results are British! TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!!

First Monday Book Day: Seasonal
I've mentioned before that I have been on a very slowly progressing odyssey to acquire the entire Seasonal Quartet by Ali Smith. To recap: in 2017 I read Autumn and loved it. I noted that she was writing additional books as follow ups to that and resolved to read those other books as well.
Time passed.
In 2019, I bought Winter, the second book in the series, I noted that Spring was coming later that year and that Summer would be out shortly after that. I resolved to read all three books once they were out and available.
Time passed.
In 2021, I was in a bookshop in White Bear Lake and noticed that they had all four books of the Seasonal Quartet available. Being unprepared, I misremembered my previous purchases and bought Winter and Summer. Upon returning home I discovered that I now had two copies of Winter and zero copies of Spring. I resolved to buy the missing book and start reading the series.
Time passed.
In 2024, I was in a used bookshop and found a copy of Spring! The series, now complete, I just needed to set aside some time to read all four books. In September, I posted, "Now I just have to get around to reading these."
Between September and now, I listened to a podcast episode of Across the Pond with an interview of Ali Smith about her new book, Gliff, It is a wonderful interview and it reminded me of everything I loved about Autumn and so I resolved two things.
- March of 2025 would be the month that I read the entire Seasonal Quartet (I started re-reading Autumn on March 1, and I still love it)
- I went out and bought Gliff, and I resolved to read that one and its companion novel Glyph when that one comes out, I'll just have to keep an eye out for it, hopefully it takes less than 8 years to follow through on this one.
All the books I read in February:
WgOmRDLE et al. Results: 3/3 – 3/16
Something something. This one ends a day before the green day celebration so I get two weeks to think of jokes for that.
