Paris is burning

Bookworm Beat 12/3/18 — the “Paris is burning” edition and open thread

The Bookworm Beat 9/8/17 — the Hurricanes Are Normal edition

If there were a speed-blogging competition, my goal would be to win it with this round-up post. I’d meant to blog at length and at leisure today, but life caught up, including a glitch with the bank, which lost the signatures that would enable me to liquidate my mother’s trust.
