> Just finished **The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate**. Very good book. Another literary best friend for her would be Molly, from **Castle Hangnail** by Ursula Vernon. Molly’s also interested in botany.

Thanks to you and **DZedNConfused** who recommended this book last month, I’m reading it to my 8yo at bedtime and in car trips, and we’re loving it. It’s the most Terry Pratchett book that he didn’t write.

I just finished **Phantom Pains** , the second in a series about a borderline-personality-disorder woman who joins a secret police force that deals with faerie. I continue to find the faerie stuff a lot more plausible than the BPD stuff, which seems tacked on and too much like therapy records or something. But I quite enjoy the faerie stuff; it’s fluffy and fun.

Now I’m reading **The Bear and the Nightingale** , which is off to a great start.
