Reviews of our books are really important to us for better or worse.

A book has to stand on it's own feet once the assembly has finished and it's out there. We do our best to give it a good life beyond its delivery to market. Once that happens, it's no longer yours anymore. It's everybody's.

Definition of forced irony: I ordered a 12" record.
Record is: MISSING by Everything But The Girl.
The package arrives, however, the seller has packed WRONG by Everything But The Girl instead.
How did I phrase my letter to the seller?

Silver medal from me would go to Lift to the Scaffold OST chiefly for Generique. My most treasure MD jam.

Immediately immersed in the stark, dark world of Eyam 1666. A short but compelling tale with an intriguing lead and setting.

I read it in one train trip and will seek out more from @roadsongbooks.bsky.social

Second time I've seen Gints Zilbalodis's animated feature, FLOW.

I urge everybody to see this spooky, beautiful, very moving feature at all costs.

Your lives will be all the better for it.
