Hello all! Apologies apologies apologies! It’s been ages since I posted. And I won’t be posting much here, just a quick note to prove I haven’t actually forgotten about this blog. I’ve just been so swamped. Work is kicking my butt, and because its Camp Nano right now, any free time I have lately has been devoted to writing.

What’s especially sad is that I’ve actually read a TON recently, but I just haven’t had the time and/or energy to sit down and write any of the many book reviews I should be doing. Sorry! I will get to them eventually… I hope…

In the meantime, I just wanted to share a few book-adjacent links to things I’ve read lately that I thought were interesting or newsworthy.

First off: Peter S. Beagle finally won his lawsuit! I’ve been following this story since the news first broke in 2015 and I am so so so happy that he has finally won back the rights to his own work. The full article is here at File770 (which, by the way, is one of the best new sites/blogs for SFF news out there): “Peter S. Beagle Regains Control”

Next, this really fascinating (and horrifying) article about Sarah Gruen, author of Water For Elephants among others, and her obsessive crusade to get a man freed from prison, posted on The Marshall Project.

Then, the short story “Badass Moms in the Zombie Apocalype” by Rae Carson, published on Uncanny. I nominated it for the Hugo this year, and it just made the finalists list!

And lastly, of course, the Hugo Finalists list was just announced yesterday, in case you missed it. Sadly, a lot of the things I nominated did not make the cut, though a few things did, but alas. That is often how it goes. There are just so many great things to read every year. You can find the full finalists list here: Hugo Awards 2021.

Okay, that’s all I’ve got in me for the moment folks! Apologies again. I do have a lot of great books to share with you all, as soon as I can find the energy! Bye!
