Sorry, another late one. Baby has thrown everyone’s schedule out of alignment.

Nothing new for Goodreads this week again, because I carried on with a bit of a Heinlein Binge. Specifically Farnham's Freehold, The Door Into Summer and I Will Fear No Evil, which all have their own set of weird things (Main character in Door marries his Goddaughter who was just a kid when he was in his 30s for example). TO cheer myself up after that, I went back to a few of the really good ones for the teen market, Between Planets and Tunnel in the Sky.

I am still really struggling to work out how life will slip back into its slot with baby. I have to remind myself that he’s only a month old yet, though.
