Coronavirus Log: Day 2

Twitter has been full of coronavirus content. I’m officially burnt out on toilet paper jokes. But here’s my favorite tweet so far:

That’s gold, Jerry. Gold!

Stuff that Got Done today:

  • Finished reading this year’s Nebula-nominated short stories. Some good stuff there, but I’ve narrowed it down to my top two. Going to have to sit with them for a few days. Mostly I read in-between parenting duties and…
  • Working on some home-improvement projects. Namely, I finally put the finishing touches on the DIY kitchen remodel we did five years ago. You know how these things go.
  • Tonight I started working through the Nebula finalists from the novelette category. Figured out how to get them all onto my Kindle for easier reading at the longer length. If your interested, here’s the list:
    • “A Strange Uncertain Light”, G.V. Anderson (F&SF 7-8/19)
    • “For He Can Creep”, Siobhan Carroll (Tor.com 7/10/19)
    • “His Footsteps, Through Darkness and Light”, Mimi Mondal (Tor.com 1/23/19)
    • “The Blur in the Corner of Your Eye”, Sarah Pinsker (Uncanny 7-8/19)
    • Carpe Glitter, Cat Rambo (Meerkat)
    • “The Archronology of Love”, Caroline M. Yoachim (Lightspeed 4/19)

Happy reading (and social distancing)!
