(She/her) once and future editor-criric at Hugo and Ignyte winning SFF fanzine NERDS OF A FEATHER, FLOCK TOGETHER. Dog person, ocean enjoyer, I like being elsewhere.
Palate cleansing after yesterday's reading with IN THE HEART OF HIDDEN THINGS by Kit Whitfield. I read the second book in this series first so I know what I'm in for: brilliant small scale fantasy with meaningful stakes and excellent, (mostly) lovely characters (mostly) doing their best.

Wow I have not even clicked through to see who this is, but "we invented the idea of a romance series" is the boldest claim I've seen since that time someone claimed a book had invented oral sex in romance. 😂
I’ll say this much: This reads exactly like what it is: people who discovered romance five years ago and decided they had all kinds of amazing new ideas to “fix” it. Connections between books? That feel kind of cozy to the reader? How did no one ever think of that?? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/b...

Subtweeting the obvious book: it's a real capital-C Choice to write a hell/afterlife book full of academic digressions but with no apparent interest in theological implications?
Maybe it comes up more seriously in the last 150 pages but the library book is due today and I'm losing the will to live

As we approach the end of the year, it's a great time to record things you love! Not just for the Hugo Awards, but in general. The rec sheet is a handy resource for nomination, but also at its heart a rec resource in a loud, busy media environment.

Project Hanuman is here. I hope you'll take a look as I think it's a pretty good space opera - no hero's journey here - this is about community, how we build back better and, of course, mind bending space battles in sentient ships.

While reorganizing my bookshelves, I somehow found the strength to not open books and start reading them, but I compromised by making a list of the ones I wish I could read again for the first time!

I have heard more than one report of Toilet Policing at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social , whether by con attendees, hotel guests or staff is unclear. Just wanna say, if you're pro toilet policing fuck off before I block you.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful
