#JustFinised the first book in the Skulldugery Pleasant series. Well, after the prequel that is... It's shaping up to be a pretty decent fantasy/adventure series with some under- or over- stated humour. I haven't decided which, maybe both.
I'm listening to it as an audiobook, which works well since it's a young adult series and there's no issue keeping up with what's going on.

Inspired by
having the Niven biography "The Other Side of the Moon' for 2024, I've decided to honour my Dad by adding to my 2024 TBR bios of 3 comics he introduced me to when I was FAR too young to really get them. Recs please for the best bios of
Sellers
Secombe

I don't exactly know how to work ARC copies for a sequel, but okay. If you're interested in an ARC copy of Old Time Religion, click here: https://forms.gle/qnE9go4kM8Z1ZubJA

None of these are disqualifying questions. If you haven't read Dionysus in Wisconsin yet, I can give you a copy of that too. I expect to have ARCs ready to go around 1/1.

Old Time Religion is an urban fantasy/queer historical romance set in 1970 in Wisconsin.

Recently finished "Not A Good Fit At this Time" by Adam Hulse and had a blast with it. Check out my Goodreads review for details but fans of horror, science fiction, and dark fantasy should absolutely give it a read!

The last book I read for literally ended with a murderer smugly smiling & accepting plaudits for his courage and cleverness in shooting a man in the back as he tried to run away. Personally, I find this MUCH more my kind of entertaining.😀
