2nd book I read in 2022 was THE SINGING SANDS, completing my in-order reread of the mysteries of Josephine Tey. My favorites: THE FRANCHISE AFFAIR and MISS PYM DISPOSES. I love DAUGHTER OF TIME, but I've reread it many times and this was the first reread of the whole set. https://t.co/Ed8kAyOVaY

just finished reading @kylebuchanan 's excellent BLOOD, SWEAT, & CHROME, the fascinating and wild account of the making of MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. One of the best books I've read on creative vision, process, and adaptation to creative challenges.

Begged my mom to buy me paperback of Interview with the Vampire when i was 13 -- and saw it in grocery store line. That font! I loved it. Anne Rice told us it was ok to understand darkness. Her novels about vampires were about what it was to be human. May she rest in peace.
