My father is very good at finding fun excursions in the area for our annual up to camp summer visits. This year was a tour of the Waukeag Neck Oyster farm, in the upper reaches of Frenchman Bay. (It does help that the owner’s mother is a long time friend of my father and C.)

The Witness for the Dead – Katherine Addison

Leave a Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

This book is set in the world of The Goblin Emperor. Thara Celehar, who helped the titular emperor discover who had killed the old emperor, has been granted a living in Amalo. He’s in a bit of a weird place – directly reporting to the Arch-Prelate, but not really part of the local hierarchy. So
