Hope you are over your malaise and feeling more on top of things again. I had intended to start Question 7 but haven't yet got hold of a copy. Must do so, especially as I'm not reading anything at the moment! Deep in edits, though, and reading often goes sideways at such times.
Just ordered Question 7 from the library! Hope you're feeling better :( Being sick with kids is tough. On the Sympathy Tower, I haven't read it, but I know that some Japanese/Korean books for me I can both love and be confused by and sometimes not finish. I gave up on the Dallergut Dream Department Store, even though it was short and I was enjoying it. It felt almost like reading poetry, like I didn't have to finish it.
Thanks for showing your notes; it's nice to have the reminder that writing-around is still writing. Sending everyone healthy thoughts!!
I hope you enjoy it, Laura! It's a really artfully woven piece of storytelling so far. You're right that being sick with the kids around is tough--they've been so lovely but I wish I had a bit more energy!

I hope the edits are going well! I'm slowly getting better but would be really happy to be DONE with this ;-) Books are a lovely companion.

Aw, thanks for the love, dear Alice! I'm glad I could keep you company and help distract through the cold :)
