Watching: I am completely up-to-date on Agents of SHIELD, including the six-episode web-mini-series that sits between seasons 3 and 4. Except for the episode which aired last night in the US, which I'll see later today. The next thing I want to catch up on is The Magicians; I think I got to the end of Season 3, but I couldn't swear to it.
Reading: I finished out The Root, and found it good; the two separate plotlines don't quite connect, which feels strange, but I assume they'll do so in the second book, which I'll acquire soon. I suppose this is a thing now, in the wake of GRRM.
I ran through Jools Sinclair's Girl on the Ghost Train in about an hour, which was mildly entertaining, but mostly just a bit odd, in all of writing style, world-building and characters. I keep thinking that if things like that can get published, I should have no problem, but I'd also need to finish some of my fiction to make that argument.
Currently on Zen Cho's The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water (another confirmation of my prediction that long titles like those of Becky Chambers would be in in 2020), and finding it good. There's a very fine lingual detail there of using the words "brother" and "sister" as pronouns, which I'll need to look up and see if it's a real thing.
