Books and stuff involving kids

[aome]

I'm starting to feel overwhelmed by passwords and log-in info for too many different things. Do any of you use any particular means to keep track of that stuff without risking it being found by the wrong people?

I finished reading Moon Over Soho (Rivers of London) yesterday.

Glad to hear you liked Moon Over Soho! Soho is probably my least favortie of the four, but I still loved it a lot, and one of the things I really liked was precisely the things you mentioned -- the continuity with Lesley clawing her way back up to functional, and Nightingale still being weak from his wound.

Yep, the Faceless One continues to be around, though that plot is back-burnered in book 3. The Rivers continue hanging out in, I think, just about every book, but are not really major in any of the current ones except the first one, but it sounds like Beverley is going to be a major player in book 5, coming out in a couple of months. I actually prefer the books that are light on the rivers, also -- that's not what I read this series for. :P (I actually don't think "Rivers of London" is the official title of the series -- and I've seen some people call it the Peter Grant series, too, which is certainly more accurate -- but I do think of it as RoL, and I think that's a more descriptive title, so I stick with it.)

(P.S. I'm not sure if you're interested in fic in this universe, but there are a couple of post-Soho fics that I feel complement the book very nicely. Let me know if you'd like a link :)

Passwords: I do the thing you're not supposed to do where multiple of my accounts share the same password, so that I have about five different ones in rotation, which a website will generally let you try before locking you out.

Glad the school ID card name issue worked out!

Congratulations to MiniPlu on her report card (L's looks similar -- down to the A- in science), and to Two on the last tooth (wow, that's pretty early! O still has a couple to go, and I think L did, too, at Two's age). (We continue to give rodents $ -- although not the little toys anymore -- even pas the point of them knowing there was no Tooth Fairy.)

The parade sounds mostly fun, though sorry about the chilly weather.

And, wow, I can't help feeling impressed with Two's breakfast ambitious, but, yeesh, don't envy you and Will having to clean up the resulting mess.

Amazon does actually seem to refer to the series as Rivers of London in addition to "Peter Grant". But I also noticed that for this particular cover editions (not the black silhouettes you've been getting me), the first book seems to come with the duel title - you can get it as "Midnight Riot" AND as "Rivers of London" - they seem to be the same book. Which might explain why then the series is referred to as "RoL" - in reference only to the first book, much like Seraphina's sequel might be called "Seraphina trilogy" or something.

Two is coming up on 11, and I think I lost my last tooth when I was 11, so he's only a bit ahead of things. One thing I noticed when I went to collect the tooth last night - the last time he had dental xrays, they saw both molars were already missing their roots as the adult teeth came down, so I expected them both to come loose much faster than they did. In fact, this one held on so long, without being very wiggly, that the adult tooth not only wore away the root, but also much of the INTERIOR of the tooth, to the point that there was an actual HOLE right through the tooth. I would have called it a cavity - it's a pretty small hole - but it's clear that the tooth wore away from the inside, not the outside. Cool, but freaky!

I have a handful of passwords that get used for multiple sites, but then I can't remember which website has which password, or if I've had to use a variation because, like, the website required passwords longer than my usual assortment, or they need to have at least one non-letter/non-number character, or something. Gah!
