Still don't know where the ice came from: must have been very localized freezing rain.
Finished
Burton, The Miniaturist
-- left a bad taste in the mouth, for no good reason
Brust, Teckla
-- to have it over with. When Vlad is a jerk, he jerks in spades, but still- I've read worse. Like all of Amber.
Ima Ichiko, Hyakki Yakousho 26
-- as always, time in another world, is why I dragged feet on reading the last story. Well, also because second last story was the usual confusion requiring several readings. Finally a mention of the war- Grandma saying that most of her relatives died in it. And a new branch: Kagyuu's sister's multiple offspring's descendants seem to have produced at least one person who inherited the same youkai-seeing gene as Kagyuu himself. Of course, Ritsu wants nothing to do with that branch of the family, and I wait to see if that's just *him* being a jerk or if he's showing common sense again.
Reading now?
Brust's Phoenix and, desultorily, The Paths of the Dead.
Next?
Oh, shall continue with Vlad, no doubt. Path of least resistance
