What I’m Listening to now: All the Feels by Olivia Dade
I try not to have more than one audiobook going at a time so I don’t have to deal with decision paralysis about what to pick up. However, this became available at the library while I was still reading Renegades and I need to know about the characters in the B plot of Spoiler Alert and I’m told we find out what happened to them. I am so excited.

What I’m reading now: the Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
My nook didn’t have any batteries so I had to start a new book. So far I’m really enjoying it.

What I'm Reading Now: Immortal Longings by Chloe Gong
Chloe Gong’s last series was a reworking of Romeo and Juliet. This time she takes on Shakespeare Cleopatra and Antony. Now I am not as familiar with this play but I’m willing to give it a shot.

Review: The Sun and The Star by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro
I have a lot of respect for Rick Riordan. He became famous for writing stories based on Greek and Roman mythologies. In 2010, he published the first of the Kane Chronicles which was based on Egyptian mythology. The series is not bad but it was pretty obvious that he was a little out of his depth. I believe this is what made him decide to start his own imprint where he would publish authors of…

Do y’all think siblings in medieval times would look at the little beasts in illuminated manuscripts and point at each other like ‘ha! ‘Tis thou!’
Quick Review: Book 1 of the Sydney Rye Mysteries
The tiktok that introduced me to these books promised me a main character who was smart, capable, and interesting. And so far I’m sold. The book opens with Joy Humboldt, barista, at work until a run in with a customer leads her to becoming Joy Humboldt, ex-barista. From here, she gets a new job as a dog-walker and is dropped into a murder investigation when one of her clients turns up dead. She…

What I’m Listening to Now: Julie Clark
I joined a knitting group last summer and many of us like to listen to audio books while we knit, so now we’re also a book club! Our first book is Julie Clark’s The Last Flight. And my knit right now is a pair of socks. The beginning of a pair of Paint bricks socks (pattern by Stephen West)

What I'm Reading Now: Babel by R.F. Kuang
I remember this being big on Booktok last summer and how many men did not like it and and that just made it more interesting to me. After starting this, I feel like this is also up Kate’s alley too.

What I’m Reading Now: The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring
Cover of the Tenth Girl by Sara Faring Set on the very edge of Patagonia, there is a girl school where there had previously been a tragedy. A mysterious illness once overtook the school. It is now reopening and in 1970s Argentina with a looming military dictatorship, Mavi can’t say no to a job that’ll take her out of Buenos Aires. I’m looking forward to this!

honestly i think there needs to be more pushback from generally underrepresented groups e.g. gay people re: being marketed “relatable” stories at the expense of craft and complexity and skill, certainly there’s something important about seeing parts of yourself reflected in fiction but there’s a difference b/w that and asking for what are essentially empty self-inserts who tick all of your identity boxes who can do no wrong and who behave exactly the way you want them to behave or the way you would behave in their shoes. that’s not a story that’s a vacant mirror
