On my reading blog, I review Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett. The second book in the alt-history fantasy is as delightful and cozy as the first.

"Turton is also a novelist who manages to put fun back at the heart of the mystery novel ... by remembering that the appeal of the crime genre can lie not in confronting the raw darkness of police investigation or serial killers, but rather in the sheer fun that a clever mystery can provide." I was so glad to be reminded of this reading experience by this #BookReview . (publ as 7½ Deaths in the U.S.) #bookstodon #reading

Times are tough, but they get a little easier when we have something to relate to. Be it a time, a place, a character...
Rowan reflects the fear and hedonistic apathy that resides within all of us.

You meet Ogdan Kostan at the beginning of this book. But who is Ogdan Kostan? #BookReview https://medium.com/feedium/book-review-fx-26-by-steven-vucak-bca75cfca9df?sk=7ac10fbf2cd39486a112fa2063554c56
In the Prologue Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov’s letter immerses you into where this book is headed. If you jump ahead immediately to Chapter One without reading it, you will miss a key thought to consider. #BookReview https://medium.com/feedium/book-review-identity-crisis-by-t-k-kanwar-132d3ed54504?sk=57aab372b9bc025fc7e097e00180feff

First you are in Gheorgheni, Romania in 1578. After knowing this back story, you will find yourself in Chapter one in 2017 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. #BookReview https://medium.com/feedium/book-review-the-lonely-vampire-by-ann-greyson-45162325e45e?sk=7819b4f253398922a63a1ab38618f5a6
Read CELESTIAL MONSTERS by Aiden Thomas if you love the aftermath, road trips, dysfunctional pantheons, delightful anarchists, dismantling systems of oppression, queer love, questioning authority, baking, cryptids, cenotes,vengeance, forgiveness, tiny birds & new beginnings.
ALSO: if you need a reminder that trans people are strong, joyful, brilliant, messy & beautiful, ALL of Aiden Thomas' books are a must read, but this duology in particular.
This collection of thirty-three stories originally published in Boston Literary Magazine, SFWP Quarterly, Toasted Cheese, and twenty other publications is one you will enjoy. While the titles or versions of some of these stories may be different, the compassion remains the same. #BookReview https://medium.com/feedium/book-review-crossing-the-lines-stories-by-tony-press-8b24b0277f?sk=bf06e3856e86bf6e091d3e2f63a8487f
