My Bookish Year (2024)
WRITING

In 2024, I finished the first draft of Little Mansion in the Jurassic, which came in at a whopping 140K. Most of my focus during Read more of this blog post »

| Cozy horror, if that's a thing. I feel like only the author could have written this concept and pulled it off so well. I was intrigued by the slightly future-SF setting, mostly off in the background but useful to explain certain things. ...more | |

Nice to see librarians as heroes. As always anthologies are a bit up and down with some hits and misses and most in the middle. My personal picks were: Inscription by JR Campbell, The Revolution will not be Fertilized by JW Scharr, and Librarian's Ass ...more |

| Very cool magic, and I was so happy to see Jester get some character development. Some good reveals and the ending (meaning the epilogue) was great. The book as a whole is very nuanced which means long drawn out discussions and slow pacing at times. | |

"I have to." A regretful sigh. "And it's best if you don't remember any mermen." He tucked a strand of wet hair behind her ear. His voice stroked her skin like velvet. "Forget me."
And she did.”
