Very little surfing (or, when writers do it, research) got done this week...
Books
In a recent post about books that did and didn't need sequels, I described a sequel to Romeo and Juliet I don't think anybody needs. I was not aware at the time that Melinda Taub wrote a "sequel" to R&J, an independent romance/adventure/fantasy about Rosaline and Benvolio, back in 2013. It was called Still Star-Crossed and might be entertaining. Blurbs and purchase links were, at the time, posted on Barb Taub's blog, which I had not yet discovered...
E-Mail, Appearing Hopeless
So I had e-mail open for a real-world conversation. During that conversation, in three hours, SIX e-mails came in offering me free review copies of new books. Six in three hours and the pace does not slow down much during the other 15 hours of the day. I'm trying to read (1) the books that are only in Kindle-for-the-computer, not in Kindle-in-the-cloud, because they may not open after the Transition to Linux, and (2) the books that people might use as inspiration for Halloween costumes or parties. I'm also trying to do as much paid work as possible, which is not leaving enough time to read even the blog roll. I may recover some sort of control of the e-mail but it's not likely to happen this month. Bar the doors--they're coming in the windows--bar the windows...
Glyphosate (and Other Things) Awareness
This series of news reports does not pinpoint one single cause of cancer. As youall know, although some TV news watchers may not know, it's impossible to pinpoint one single cause of cancer. There probably is not one single cause of cancer.
