My review of When the Angels. TLDR: I *love* it, it might as well have been written for me.

It's great to see that it resonates for a Jewish person who's not in Good Omens fandom. I actually find it pretty cozy, despite the violence ... because the violence isn't as bad as I usually steel myself for, when reading about Jewish life in the period. Not to mention that "queer people get to be happy" is historically a pretty cozy result.

I started Red Scholar's Wake but haven't finished because it felt like too much of a Romance, which isn't what I'm in the market for right now. But I always love her work.

I had forgotten that Keeper's Six is out! You've reminded me to ask for it at the library.

How did you get Artisans in Early Imperial China? Library, interlibrary loan, purchase?

Does it include textile arts/crafts? Do they know if any of the non-textile artisans were women?

Even before cdramas entered our collective lives, I was interested in the history of technology & science in China, so books like this have always drawn me.
