What I've Read
Finished The Past is Red by Catherynne M. Valente - A Hugo Best Novella Nominee- this really stuck the landing. I have bounced off of Space Opera because it was so dense but this was really great and the shorter length really worked for me. Tetley is really kind of fascinating because she lives in the absolute worst possible timeline and yet she's convinced that here world and her life really matter.
What I'm Reading
The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry - CM Waggoner - book club - I'm just past the halfway point and I'm delighted by how much plot this book has decided to lean into. Delly is making such interesting mistakes! The cast is basically just all women, which I kind of love for an adventure, and the world building is fascinating. My book group had some interesting question about the details of the world building.
What I'll Read Next
Far Sector, Master of Djinn, Elder Race - all hugo nominations, all physical library books.
Also out from the library, I have the Bedlam Stacks, For the Wold, and Golden Age by Naomi Novik, a Worthy Opponent by Katee Robert (more Captain Hook), the Return of the Thief as an audiobook.
