The Potency of Ungovernable Impulses by Malka Older @m_older @older.bsky.social  @tordotcom @tordotcom.bsky.social

I have really been enjoying the Mossa & Pleiti series with two women normally in an academic setting mystery.   Mossa is an investigator who is good at her work, but very uncertain in social circumstance.  I’d almost say she is autistic but Pleiti also has the hesitation about things in their relationship.  Pleiti is an […]

As usual, Stephanie Burgis has created a charming whimsical story. It took me a little bit to get into the characters.  But Fabian / Felix was so kind and earnest, both Saskia and I appreciated him.  His acceptance of the crows, trolls and goblins was endearing. Saskia seemed scattered at first.  She took so much […]

Blood of the Old Kings is a Korean novel translated to English.  As I’ve found with other writers from other countries there is a distinct type of storytelling/flow that  wasn’t specifically what I’m used to in American novels but might be more prevalent in Korean ones.  I don’t think if you didn’t know the original […]

I love everything about the Murderbot Diaries series.   I just adore the grumpy Murderbot who wants to be left alone to watch its shows.  The straightforward comments on its own situation is fabulous and funny.  I highly recommend this series, and always prefer to read in order. The audio version is stellar and I prefer […]
