Astraea, by Kate Kruimink

Gorgeous, poetic historical fiction about a 19th century convict ship, carrying women and children to a penal colony. Perfect novella about liminal space, patriarchy and a little known history - quiet, atmospheric, yet somehow harrowing - I could not put it down.

Yellow-eyed Junco in Madera Canyon, AZ yesterday.
It’s nice when the name makes sense!

Everyone should read Hellions by Julia Elliott, out next month from @tinhouse.bsky.social (thanks for an earlier copy!)
11 short stories, each as engaging, imaginative and perfectly unexpected as the last. Elliott has an incredible way of shifting from the mundane to the magical. I loved this.
