Rapport: Friendship, Solidarity, Communion, Empathy by Martha Wells

by 1 Comment

OK, I’m going for a Martha Wells two-fer today. And I’m going to start of with the shorter story. I have to give mu thanks to  faintingviolet here because if I hadn’t read their review, I would not have known this had been released.  And I thought I kept up pretty well with most things related to Murderbot But even though this short story is, well, short, (a fragment of a story even)  it made me very happy because it focuses of Peri/ART. Told from […]

The Earl of Beresford isn’t expecting to get accosted by a naked woman on the beach, but the selkie cares little for propriety and demands help in finding her kidnapped brother, the High Prince of Skerry.  Beresford reluctantly agrees and sets out with his crew, a selkie princess, and a case of Beresford Plum Jam in order to find the missing prince. This is a delightful little novella, though it does raise more questions than answers.  It’s the prequel to a mystery series that I’m […]

The Cutting Edge and Daisy Jones with edge

The Favorites by Layne Fargo

by Leave a Comment

Bingo: Play (for the sports angle since ice dancing, though everyone is very serious about it) (Bingo #6, 2nd row complete) This novel came on my radar last year on one of those anticipated novels of 2025 because of the description, and I checked out the author’s They Never Learn as a result while waiting for this one – I liked that one quite a bit but didn’t love it. Finally picked this one up – if you love The Cutting Edge, Daisy Jones and […]

Portions for Foxes

Nine Tailed by Jayci Lee

Bingo Square – N – and 3 bingos, making for 5 total (1. middle row – BINGO, 2. middle column, and 3. diagonal bottom left to top right) I got this one sometime last year as a Prime First choice (I usually don’t bother because I have enough books I want to read that I haven’t gotten to without adding random free stuff but every once in a while they’ll have an option that sounds like something I would have picked up on my own), […]
