The Burton Barr Central Library in Phoenix, AZ

Listening to Shadow of the Solstice by Anne Hillerman. From 2025, this one is a bit of a change from the usual. Same characters and a dead body, but it doesn't get much attention. Instead they go off the rez and out of state to Phoenix to investigate a massive fraud, which is based on actual events from the recent past. It's quite good. They spend some time in the library pictured above.

Reading Get In Trouble by Kelly Link. She has been hailed by Michael Chabon as “the most darkly playful voice in American fiction” and by Neil Gaiman as “a national treasure.” This book of 9 fantastical short stories is full of sly humor and a generosity of feeling for the frailty of humans. It is quite amazing.

In case you hadn't heard, April Fool's Day is cancelled this year because every day is a freaking joke.
