Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk

Nice little read. I didn't fully resonate with the main character, but I enjoyed the imagery and some of the philosophical musing. There's a passage about the heavenly sphere's influence on the soul that'll stick with me.

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.
I asked what I should use instead of firefox and someone said “floorp” and I legitimately thought it was a bit for like five minutes. tech has gone beyond making the torment nexus real to making poob real.

Battle Ground by Jim Butcher

This book rules. It's super clunky, but it's got the juice. I feel like I've been reading Butcher my whole life and these books are so special to me. They're cheesy, they're dated, but they've got heart where it counts. Strange to get so much rain in December

Peace Talks by Jim Butcher

Reread in preparation for Twelve Months next year. Enjoyed it much more the second time around, but it's still a really flawed book. It's padded. It's too short. Characters make huge choices that only make sense if you've read all the short stories. Still Dresden tho

Liberty Balboa origin story
saw a roach and sprayed it with the nearest available spray canister, which turned out to be a can of cooking spray

now the roach is extremely lubricated and frictionless and gliding all over

One Piece: Skypiea Vols. 31, 32, 33 by Eiichiro Oda

Got literal chills at least three times while reading this. That scene at the end of the arc that sounds like a Beatles song? Perfection. And, the Davy Back game might be the funniest yet.

The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu

This book's got it all: schemes, romance, betrayal, war, and most importantly GIANT WEIRD ANIMALS. ARMORED NARWHALS TWICE THE SIZE OF A BLUE WHALE. DIRIGIBLE FALCONS WITH A TWENTY FOOT WINGSPAN. WHATEVER THE HELL MATA ZYNDU IS. Book rules; read it.

The Daughters' War by Christopher Buehlman

Buehlman delivers on the promised goblins, betrayal, and revenge, but I didn't expect such a touching and introspective piece. Constraining the scope to a single character is such a smart way to do a prequel, and getting more Galva was such a delight.

Simplicity: A Novel by Mattie Lubchansky

Mattie crushed it with this one. It's grimy dystopia blended with stunningly beautiful surrealism lovingly steeped in raw sexuality. This book made me want to fight a bear. This book made me want to fuck an elk.

Stonewielder by Ian C. Esslemont

Enjoyed the time I spent with this, but I never really felt compelled to keep reading until the last couple chapters. All the story-lines made sense retrospectively, but I wish he'd set the hook more firmly at the outset. Beyond excited for No Life Forsaken tho.

Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi

Picked this up for spooky season, and it delivered a horrifying glimpse into the monsters haunting post-invasion Iraq. Reading translated literature is the best way to broaden your view and build empathy, and everyone should go check out Clevo Books.

I had trouble getting invested in the first volume, but once the dust settled and the magintude of the situation became clear, I really enjoyed the remainder.

Howling Dark by Christopher Ruocchio

Starting in media res was a little jarring, but this ended with a bang. Fully hooked on the series now. It's epic without being overwhelming or padded, but the first person perspective and framing make it so intimate at times.
