What does "&c" mean? It's an old-fashioned abbreviation for et cetera.

And how are you liking it?

I'm working my way through Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett and it's solid so far, lots of fun, very compelling. I'm not the fastest reader but I'm already halfway done after just a few days.

Rereading Lockwood and Co. I like reading YA books when I'm stressed and Stroud is quite clever.

Not familiar with that one but I read the first few Bartimaeus books when I was younger and thought they were great.

If you like teens fighting ghosts, with a little bit of interpersonal drama tossed in, it's a fun romp. There's a little of Stroud's typical subtext about social class in there too.

Netflix had a show based on it a few years ago but of course they dropped it after one season, even though it was quite good IMHO.
