Huh. #Lichen (🇩🇪 »Flechte«) was one of those #English words i knew from reading, but didn’t know it was pronounst /ˈlaɪ.kən/.
Only, in the Annihilation Score audiobook: »The alley /ˈmɛə.ɹi/ ducked into is slimy with /ˈlɪ.tʃən/
«.
What. So that is allowed. Chiefly British, according to sources.

#TIL that Londoners, maybe most British, know what »the fourth plinth« is.

Just finished reading #DeliriumBrief A much, much better read than either #NightmareStacks or #AnnihilationScore Even though it has multiple narrators just like those other novels. Think it's because it goes back to the original narrator from the first, what, five novels.

Anyway, definitely looking forward to the ninth novel in the #LaundryFiles series. Let's hope it sticks with the formula from this one rather than going back to that from six and seven.
