You can find me on StoryGraph!

November was a fantastic month for reading. I didn’t pick up a single book I didn’t love or learn something from, and I began my goal to read more nonfiction books. I’d been in a reading slump for something like two years before this — feels so good to be back.

Grey Dog by @elliottgish.bsky.social was honestly one of the best sapphic folk horror / feminine rage books I’ve ever read. We follow an early 20th century spinster schoolteacher to her new posting following A Scandal, and through the book examine the cost of femininity and freedom from it.
Elliott Gish and Grey Dog are in white text on a red background. In between them is an image of a fused together creature, a wolf on one side and a doe on the other, drawn in black.
