Rated Jago & Litefoot: The Bloodless Soldier 6/10

This was just ok for me, but I'm sure I'll end up listening to more.

A very real, short book of poetry celebrating the messy, the loud, the queer, the black, the up and down mechanics of survival. Enjoyed this and regret taking too long to read it.

Rated A Confederacy of Dumptys: Portraits of American Scoundrels in Verse 8/10

What a fun book about our national embarassments! I've seen Lithgow promoting the two previous books in this series, but they were highly particular to the last presidency's time period. I went ahead and got this one because it covers a wider range of governmental criminals. Lithgow's word choices were great with an expansive vocabulary. And who doesn't love reading history to a Seussian cadence?? Most of these characters I already knew, but still an enjoyable new way to read about them in short verse. The last long poem about January 6 really ended the slim volume strongly, though!

In about three weeks, I'll launch my new novella, about an old woman with social anxiety who finds herself organising the defence of a decentralised nation when colonisers invade to steal the tech that makes her village a #solarpunk utopia. It is available for pre-order in all major stores (I think), but you can also get it from my small press, and there is a sample chapter available.

Rated UNIT: Extinction 8/10

Interesting way of bringing back the Nestene, and Jemma Redgrave is excellent. Took me a bit at first to get into it, but I liked this story a lot better than some other Doctor Who-related audio dramas.
