Date: 2015-08-07 11:50 am (UTC)I've been slowly working my way through The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman. It's about everything leading up to the first month of WWI, and so far I'm finding it fascinating.
Planned reading for the weekend is the webcomic Stand Still, Stay Silent, which I'm already partway through and absolutely loving so far. Post-apocalyptic northern Europe is totally my jam.

Date: 2015-08-07 03:49 pm (UTC)I skimmed a lot of The Handy Nutrition Answer Book yesterday. It didn't tell me much useful that I didn't already know, but it did (earlier in the week, when I was first reading through it) give me the push to get whole grains back in my diet. Which is making me feel better and more capable of doing things, so, win all around.
I plan to read my draft of a story I thought I'd finished writing months ago and then work on writing the new draft that expands on the backstory explicit and implicit in the old draft.
