Current read, ‘All We Have Is Time’ by Amy Tordoff. About 70% in and I can’t stop reading this book about an immortal woman and a time traveler, but I also have no idea how this is going to play out and I’m hella nervous!

Loved this! If you haven’t read ‘The Stars Over Bittergate Bay’, I recommend that first.

Lessons in Magic and Disaster comes out in less than two months!

See what people are saying about this fantastical mother-daughter story and check out my pinned post for more info — including how to get a signed/personalized copy *and* receive some excellent pre-order rewards!
"Lessons in Magic and Disaster has everything I like: an utterly absorbing story, a huge heart, emotional intelligence, the real problems and delights of queer families and communities, a book-within-a-book, a couple of graduate students, and legit queer magick. -- Andrea Lawlor" The background is a picture of a schoolhouse in the woods "a breathtaking work of magic, grief, and love. The vulnerable depiction of relationships and challenges within queer and trans communities is heart-wrenching but still reflects hope and optimism throughout." -- Library Journal. Background is pink sparkles, and there's a dandelion and the cover of Lessons in Magic and Disaster "With a lovably messy trans protagonist and a deep, tender-hearted exploration of grief, guilt, and the difficulty of asking for the things one wants, this is perfect for seasoned readers of queer feminist speculative fiction looking for a cozy escape that still challenges." Publishers Weekly. Background is daisies against a light purple backdrop. "This compact novel is about many things: a literary treasure hunt that strongly recalls A.S. Byatt’s Possession; the struggle to negotiate obligations to parents, spouses, and oneself; moving forward from grief; and a self-taught witch’s fraught journey toward understanding her own magic." -- Kirkus. Background is a field of flowers

While living in Japan from 2010-2014, a close friend gifted me with several kimono! I had them in a storage box that I moved with from Japan to Vermont to California and to Maryland, but had no real way to display or wear them. A friend’s daughter made them into a quilt for me!

Finished on the flight home to Maryland! WOW! What an absolutely beautiful story about complicated family dynamics. I gasped out loud at one point! Serena’s perspective from the past allowed a deeper story.

In the air, flying to San Francisco seemed like a good time to read ‘Lessons in Magic and Disaster’ by Charlie Jane Anders. About a third of the way through and Jamie is expressing so many things I feel are capital T True. Wanting for yourself is so important.

Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove was so delightful! I thought the description not-so-cozy was apt! It was definitely full of monsters, and there were several gory deaths, but also uplifting? Highly recommend!

Amused at my breakfast’s expression this morning 😐
Photo of plate with a bagel with guacamole and two breakfast sausages. The effect of the combination looks like a face tired eyes and with a mouth in a flat line.
