The Library of the Dead – T. L. Huchu
Ropa lives in Edinburgh, and makes a living a messenger for the dead – bringing messages back to their loved ones. While it’s clearly a fantasy, it starts out in what could be our world, but very quickly, clues start to come in that Ropa’s world is not at all like ours. The people of

The Widow Queen – Elzbieta Cherezinska
I started this book back on September 15th. It’s in translation from Polish, and I’d be curious to see if it’s as dense in that language as in English. I had to take long pauses between readings. Honestly, I usually dump a book by now with pauses this long in between, but I really did

The Found and the Lost – Ursula K. LeGuin

The Six Deaths of the Saint – Alix E. Harrow
I picked up the Into Shadow short story collection from Amazon because it has stories from several authors I’ve read before, and definitely looked like the subject matter was in my wheelhouse. This is the third I’ve read – I liked the prior two, but this one really spoke to me. This is the story

Pemberley: Mr. Darcy’s Dragon – Maria Grace
This was an interesting twist on Pride and Prejudice. Only some people can hear dragons, and in the past, the nobility of England made a treaty with them, where some dragons would have keepers appointed from the nobility, and would be attached as caretakers to their estates. So Longbourn is a dragon, and Elizabeth and
