April Wrap-up
Normally, I try to write some opening thoughts at the start of these. But I'm posting this while my baby is squirming and whining, so I gotta make it quick.
What I’ve Enjoyed
Books
Sweetest Kulu by Celina Kalluk
I can’t handle how adorable this book is. If you have a little one and are looking for new story time books, I highly recommend this one.
A Universe of Wishes: A We Need Diverse Books Anthology by Dhonielle Clayton et al.
Incredible collection of short stories – some are heartbreaking, some are hopeful, and some are a mix of both. I’ve really been enjoying reading more short story collections, and this one in particular is absolutely top tier.
Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger
This was a wonderful book. I loved how magic and the supernatural were presented as a part of every day life, the inclusions of stories from Six-Great’s time were fantastic, and the plot was expertly paced and unfolded. I wish I could’ve stayed in this world with Ellie and Kirby a little longer, but the ending was perfect.
Articles
Adopting a Dinosaur
This is honestly a really interesting, funny little article, complete with photos of the author’s wonderful tortoise through the years.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Henrietta Lacks and her (unknowing) contributions to medical science have long been uncredited. It demonstrates how racism, sexism, and health inequality intersect and the long-term ramifications that can have over generations, and how the privileged stand to benefit and profit directly from this inequality. Always glad to see someone shedding light on issues like this.
Because You Like Him
I’m always happy when I can find some good quality ace rep, and this little story ticks that bill.

How to Write a Book Series as a Pantser
Writing a book series is hard enough already, but not being one to plan or outline in advance only makes it more complicated. If that’s something you’re struggling with, this article has some strategies you can try out.
How to Make Meal Planning and Meal Prepping Work For You
Definitely a lot different from what I usually write, but sometimes it’s nice to switch things up. Especially if it can potentially help other people!
Sugar Bush and King’s Head Inn
Sugar Bush is one of those local traditions that people from away probably think is absurd, and King’s Landing is a wonderful place to experience it for the first time. Maybe this will entice you to visit there once the world is a little more normal?
