Revisiting my 2018 Reading List
Feb. 5th, 2026 08:38 amJuliana Horatia Ewing - the university library has Mrs. Overtheway’s Remembrances (memories of early nineteenth-century England), The Story of a Short Life (unclear, but I think a child soldier dies valiantly?), and Lob Lie-by-the-fire ; Jackanapes ; Daddy Darwin's dovecot (three short stories, possibly fantasy). Any preferences?
Ngaio Marsh
Jerry Pinkney
Rosemary Sutcliff - We Lived at Drumfyvie, on the basis of
Frances Hodgson Burnett - The Head of the House of Coombe
Roald Dahl - I’ve read the most famous ones (Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), plus his memoirs Boy and Going Solo. But I’ve barely skimmed the surface otherwise. Recs?
Caroline Dale Snedeker
M. T. Anderson - Nicked. Recced by multiple people!
D. E. Stevenson - Mrs. Tim Flies Home. The last of the Mrs. Tim quartet.
E. M. Delafield - technically The Provincial Lady in America is next, but I’d have to get it through ILL, whereas the library has The Provincial Lady in Wartime. Will probably get Wartime unless someone feels strongly the books must be read in order and/or the America is wonderful and I simply mustn’t risk missing it.
Elizabeth Enright - Spiderweb for Two. Wrapping up the Melendys!
Rick Bragg - I really liked his food memoir The Best Cook in the World: Tales from My Momma’s Table, so I meant to try some of his other books, but… I have not. Any suggestions?
Daphne Du Maurier
Edward Eager - Playing Possum (the last of his little-known picture books)
Deborah Ellis - One More Mountain, the newest Breadwinner novel, published in 2022
Fyodor Dosteovsky - The Brothers Karamazov. Thoughts which translation I should get?
Jacqueline Woodson
Eliza Orne White - I, the Autobiography of a Cat. I am including White on this list solely because the archive has this book, and how am I supposed to resist a title like that?
Zilpha Keatley Snyder
C. S. Lewis
Elizabeth Gaskell - Mary Barton or Ruth, probably.
Dorothy Gilman
E. Nesbit - The Wouldbegoods
Thanhha Lai - When Clouds Touch Us, the sequel to Inside Out and Back Again. Always nervous about sequels but going to give this a try.
Vera Brittain - Testament of Youth. Another book I’ve meant to read for AGES.

Behind the cut, this entry contains smut and homophobic language.

Backdoor in Notepad++
Feb. 5th, 2026 12:00 pmHackers associated with the Chinese government used a Trojaned version of Notepad++ to deliver malware to selected users.
Notepad++ said that officials with the unnamed provider hosting the update infrastructure consulted with incident responders and found that it remained compromised until September 2. Even then, the attackers maintained credentials to the internal services until December 2, a capability that allowed them to continue redirecting selected update traffic to malicious servers. The threat actor “specifically targeted Notepad++ domain with the goal of exploiting insufficient update verification controls that existed in older versions of Notepad++.” Event logs indicate that the hackers tried to re-exploit one of the weaknesses after it was fixed but that the attempt failed.
Make sure you’re running at least version 8.9.1.
