Today I have read the programme of performances for the winter season at the Sam Wannamaker playhouse, which is the Globe's indoor theatre.

Also much twitter.

I read the labels that listed the empanada fillings at a stall on Borough Market, to stock up before the play.

Lots of spreadsheets and technical documents. The Economist "Espresso". Some Guardian articles. A bit of the most recent issue of Private Eye (in the bath).

I'm reading The Stone Sky by NK Jemisin. It's fantastic.

Almost through The Total Package by Stephanie Evanovich and Spark Joy by Marie Kondo.

I think there was more, but the list is in the other room.

Half a King (Joe Abercrombie) -- mildly disabled younger son accidentally becomes king on the death of his father and older brother, is betrayed, has to survive. The disability is a malformation of the hand; it is relevant to the story, but this is not inspiration porn. Well written, good world building, interesting (and varied) characters, and yet I was a bit bored. Highly recommended for those who like quest/high fantasy, or those who want a quiet afternoon.

Thanks for this; have downloaded a sample since it sounds like good dropping-off-to-sleep reading.

Yes, I think it would work for dropping-off-to-sleep reading, the story flows logically, and was easy to follow in increments (plus, written in set pieces, as so much high fantasy is).
