A hyperpolyglot! Flexible ethics! A ton of stalking! Learn more about Brooke Robinson's messy thriller, The Interpreter, in my review at https://abookishtype.wordpress.com/2023/12/14/the-interpreter-by-brooke-robinson/

Five stars: Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher (2023) is a novella retelling of Sleeping Beauty. The story was inspired in the process of writing a different retelling, namely, Hamster Princess: Harriet the Invincible (2016), written under the actual name, Ursula Vernon

Finished this yesterday...a helpful presentation of Jefferson's religious beliefs and views and how he came to them. I think the basic point Kidd makes is that for Jefferson faith was a private choice. @bookstodon

Where is Blue Mars?

@Gords @bookstodon I have no idea where Blue Mars is, though I noticed it has gone missing too.

I'm posting for a used books shop, that's what an Antikvariat is in Swedish.
One of our semi-regular customers often comes with stuff like this to sell, and since I like Science fiction and fantasy I'm always having lots of fun going through it.

I loved The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections by Eva Jurczyk and I'm reading an ARC of her second rare-books-library mystery, That Night in the Library (June 2024). It started off a little slow but now it's getting gooooooood.

Hi, I'm an as-of-yet unpublished YA/fantasy author and high school math teacher who just moved to wandering.shop from mastodon.social

I'm currently in the editing process of my second book after striking out on the querying process for my first one.

It’s a fine line between a healthy obsession, and toxicity. Between frustration, drive, spite, desperation, and apathy. Between giving up, falling apart, figuring it out, breaking through, and continually spinning. Relapse, recovery, and sobriety, one or all of the above I’m told comes into play. But, maybe that’s just me...

@lonelyboy1977 @bookstodon I’ve used one trademark name in a non-fiction book because it describes how the people use it in real life.
