Not a lot of Fallcon loot this time around, but it was great to see @mangamavericks.bsky.social with a booth, as well as a chance to get some more @ryankelly.bsky.social art.
Hauling around to the various used bookstores across town with mom after, however, landed some long-elusive scores for me.

![Photo of a passage from Single & Single:
There is no hand-carried mail this time. Oliver brings the two messages in his head. On the flight home he is so excited by them that he has half a mind to propose marriage to Nina. The date is August 18, 1991.
It is two nights later and Nina is weeping in Georgian. She is weeping on the telephone, she is weeping when she arrives at Oliver's flat, weeping as they sit like an old couple side by side on the sofa watching in horror [continuing cropped off "as the new Russia..."]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ih7tzh5narwksgzys422j7vo/bafkreidjm4rxhojegfzxry7kaev5tsqoagmplnc4msaisfawbf5binz37i)
