Characters I'd Follow on Social Media

Silk-Prince Kheldar, by First-Fantasy on DeviantArt
1. Silk (aka Prince Khledar) from the Belgariad and Malloreon, because I wouldn't be able to believe anything but I would have plenty of fun trying to decode it

2. Jasmine, because I want to read all her thoughts on women's rights and the global economy

3. Belle, because I need to hear what happens after chapter three

4. Jo March, because Christopher Columbus! somebody needs to keep Laurie in check and pretend to be the maid

5. Anne of Green Gables, because I need more descriptive names for local landmarks and also romanticized versions of Arthurian legends

6. Jen Lancaster should be more active on social media, because she is hilarious

7. Elizabeth Gilbert, I actually do follow her on all social media, for plenty of feel-good spirituality, do-good campaigns, and travel

8. Gansey from The Raven Boys quartet, because who doesn't need to know more about dead Welsh kings?

9. Temeraire, the eponymous dragon from Naomi Novik's Temeraire series. He's always good for a hot take--why shouldn't dragons get paid?!?

10. Hermione--can't wait to hear the latest on the save the house-elves campaign or the most effective way to pronounce spells

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel *To Be Released from New Door Books on April 10, 2018* Mindy Vogel is haunted by the future. In frequent daydreams, she toggles between her real, wheelchair-bound life and the adventurous life of her fanfic alter ego, SkyLog officer Kat Wanderer. She's haunted by all that Kat can do which she cannot---belong to an organization of comrades, walk, and fall in love---yet. Because at twenty-four, Mindy's future is very much ahead of her, wheelchair notwithstanding. Through Mindy's "SkyLog" fanzine and related emails, Seidel evokes Star Trek fandom around the turn of the millenium, but also creates a new and compelling science fictional universe, similar to what Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl  does for the Harry Potter fandom with "Simon Snow." Mindy is among the pioneers transitioning fandom from print to digital, boldly encountering like-minded individuals from the comfort of her chair behind the monito...

Books with Single-Word Titles

Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 6. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 7. Stoned by Aja Raden (has a subtitle) 8. Educated by Tara Westover 9. Fledgling by Octavia Butler 10. Kindred by Octavia Butler

Books Read in July 2024

 Pitch It by Evie Blum-- Kind of a weirdly suspenseful romcom but I enjoyed the perspective of a woman working in Silicon Valley,  which I don't see a lot. The business jargon was on point. The author is really talented at writing physicality too; be prepared for a lot of spicy scenes.  My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Bro di Ashton, and Jodi Meadows--I'd wanted to read this for a while (Tudor history nerd, hello!), and I just saw and loved the show on Prime and finally got the book from Kindle Unlimited.  Both are so, so good! Very tongue-in-cheek, intrusive narration, and so many riffs on Shakespeare, Tudor history, and more. Plus it's a surprise fantasy world with people who turn into animals instead of Protestants vs. Catholics--totally brilliant. Can't wait to read the rest! An Improper Situation by Sydney Jane Bailey-- On Stuff-Your-Kindle romance day, I took a chance on a lot of different books. This was the first one I tried. I really enjoyed the 19th century Sp...
