Books and comics, Doctor Who, some political stuff (sorry). he/him
Sky Daddy by Kate Folk

Sky Daddy is a surprisingly sweet story about a woman who is sexually attracted to airplanes. This book has great characters and is full of smart, unexpected storytelling choices.

Spin by Robert Charles Wilson

Spin has a fascinating premise. Wilson uses it to tell a story about a trio of characters navigating the changed Earth over several decades. I admit, I wanted much more fleshing out of the premise and much less of the psychodrama between the main characters.

I would watch a full length movie of Nina Ye wandering thru the night market charming everyone she meets, but the rest of Left-Handed Girl was a bit meh. The Human Condition, on the other hand, was absolutely incredible. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday

"The Test" by Billy Nomates from her record Metalhorse. Billy Nomates entire discography is rad.

A Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmhirst

The true story of a couple who survived at sea for 118 days focusing on the differences in personality between the two and how they worked together to survive. The story is fascinating but the focus on character makes it really special. Recommended.

Doctor Strange: A Decade of Dark Magic by Stuart Moore

This is mostly a recap of early Doctor Strange comics, without much in the way of commentary or bts info. It's like having someone tell you about their dreams. If I want to know what happens in a comic, I'll just read the comic, thanks.

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

This is *the* high school reading assignment book for US teens. I never read it then, but students apparently loathe it. I hoped I would enjoy the book, reading as an adult, but didn't really. I thought the last third of it was pretty great, though.

The Mighty Avengers vs The 1970s by Paul Cornell

The Marvel Age of Comics is series of short books on specific topics, like the 33 1/3 series. This one is an overview of how the Avengers comic reflected the changes of the 70s. Obviously, I will be reading all of these.
