[This post has been living in my saved draft for a year, so I'm going to finish it up mostly as is.]
At the beginning of February [of 2019], one of our two cats passed away after struggling with suspected lymphoma. It was a sad and stressful time, and I decided that I was going to need to take a sharp turn away from the horror stories I'd been reading. I never put any restrictions on what kind of books to read, so in February I reread one book (Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett), read a nonfiction book (the core rulebook for Dungeon Crawl Classics, a role-playing game from Goodman Games), and read a new-to-me novel (Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson).
