The Miles Grant and Stewart Grant detective novels are interesting, in that they seem to be doing a "case worthy of a book" per year, and after 24 years, Miles retires and Stewart takes over as detective.

The number of novels per month is going up. It used to hover around nine: two per week, with one in the partial week. But I've been reading some shorter books lately, which has boosted the number. Novellas remain rare.

Finally finished all the stories in Pioneering Women of Science Fiction, Christopher Broschell's collection of stories from the 1940s and 1950s.

I'm an absolute sucker for #TieIn #cookbooks, which is a market that is rapidly filling with some really neat ones (and surprisingly few real stinkers, as long as you stick to the branded ones; Off that things are, as usual, all over the place), but so far one of my favourites has remained mostly elusive: #cyberpunk.

Sure, there's the "#Edgeramen" (https://cdn-l-cyberpunk.cdprojektred.com/edgerunners/co-streaming/recipe_en.pdf), which I really like; And, of course the cocktails by "#HowToDrink" (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0Ve02cCRWLayA40updExvOKlIqdjXwQf) and a handful others (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bl26AbEtYY), a few I consider #inspirational (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itu_oBoTIbM), and, of course, I have tried my hand at creating a few myself (Locust-Peperoni-Pizza is surprisingly very edible!).

So, dear #Fediverse, any good links, #recipes, etc.?

Kind of wild that the original comic, which was adapted into Netflix’s mini-series Bodies, is out of print. DC seem to have rushed out a reprint but even that disappeared off the shelves and it’s unavailable again (or rather it’s unavailable again at a reasonable price).
