I feel bad that I fell off of my #NovellaNovember / #Novellavember. Thursday I fell victim to what I think was food poisoning, and I can never concentrate on reading, writing, or even television when I don't feel well. Yesterday I finally went to urgent care and ... I have a bowel obstruction.

Officially asking now for author folks (and reader folks) to tell me about the new queer holiday romances coming out this year—I don’t know why I’m having trouble finding them this year, but I am.
Drop 'em here, please.
(Bonus if low-angst; also happy for sapphic—this is not just a dude zone).

Just finished Girl in the Creek by @wnwagner.bsky.social, just loved the setting (small town Oregon, Clackamas Wilderness) and characters (human and animal). Read some PNW PCT missing persons nonfiction this year and here's a speculative addition 💚🌲

Today's #NovellaNovember / #Novellavember book is Crypt of the Moon Spider by Nathan Ballingrud, the first in the Lunar Gothic Trilogy. It delivers exactly what's promised: Gothic horror on the dark side of the Moon.

Day 11 #NovellaNovember / #Novellavember: The Primrose Path by Bram Stoker. Posting about Stoker's birthday a few days ago reminded me that I've fallen off of one of my ongoing reading projects, which is to own and read everything Stoker wrote. So I brought this novella on this week's business trip.

One of my favorite series. Jim's Sgt. Janus books (occult detective) are Also really excellent.
#DCJones and #AdventureCommand: the series I'm likely the most proud of. #Action, #adventure, #thrills, and cool equipment, all in a 1970s landscape. Adventure is yours to command with Jones and his globetrotting team. Please share. #BeckyBooks
