That site has more stuff, too -- links to related articles, some notes about how I researched it, and a contact form in case you want to talk about the fediverse with me! (I'd be happy to chat with journalists about it!)

finished reading The End and Everything Before It 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
by Finegan Kruckemeyer.
A tangled weave of lives lived for love, community, place & simple pleasures. Beautifully written. I didn't quite grasp the ending, worth a revisit.

A moving novel told in two timelines as one teen searches for her biological mother and the other copes with giving up her baby. From the acclaimed author of Slay.

Over at Netflix's Tundum blog, they announce the complete casting of P+P. Rufus Sewell is Mr. Bennet! And my heart will not protest, nor lie, but I will be throwing Mr. Bennet a bit of my female gaze.

The two-party system collapsed, finally leading to a sixty-year civil war, even though the periodic government change worked well initially to compete to improve the governance system. This isn’t a story about our modern political situation.
On a late spring night in 1353, a ghost woman appeared before ex-Emperor Kōgon, who had been captured by the Southern Court...
Want some interesting historical fiction in translation? About the later years of a deposed dictator? ON THE BACK OF THE TIGER isn't quite what you'd be expecting but that's all the more reason to give it a look.

finished reading Akarnae 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
by Lynette Noni.
Fairly derivative YA fantasy: teenage girl crosses into a parallel world, where she becomes a fish-out-of-water at a school for talented students, and discovers she's the only one who can prevent the obliteration of humanity. Some ingrained patriarchy - why do female heroes always have to be hot? Totally needless. Nice enough but nothing special.

I mean it does make a certain kind of sense, an evil facist wouldn't consider happy people civilized 🤔
The kind of people who don't let cause strife both for themselves and others in the name of ambition have no use to a Dark Lord 😁

finished reading Sleeping Giants 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
by Sylvain Neuval.
An alien artifact triggers a race to harness its immense power. Told mostly via interview transcripts, which kinda works (I liked how the interviewer gradually becomes more of a protagonist, and more invested in the interviewees) but doesn't do justice to the action sequences. Smoking Man X-Files vibes.

NYC, 1919: Perched on a towering pile of donated books, a librarian calls from a megaphone to request more book donations for American troops stationed in France. The American Library Association’s campaign sent up to 55,000 books each month to military camp libraries.

finished reading The Erratics 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
by Vicki Laveau-Harvie.
Two sisters deal with the aging of their estranged parents, the mother psychopathically unhinged and the father cowed & abused. Morbidly fascinating but scattered and purposeless.
