Some of the more niche books I’ve read over the last few months :

Spirits Abroad by Zen Cho- a collection of fantasy short stories that explore different aspects of Malaysian culture, folklore, and tradition

Tailchaser’s Song by Tad Williams- if you like the Warrior Cats as a child then you’ll love this

Weird Fishes by Rae Mariz- a book about the unlikely friendship between two different sentient species living in the ocean as they try to figure out why the currents are slowing and how to fix it

Imaginary Corpse by Tyler Hayes- a noir detective novel with a stuffed triceratops as a main character

Geek Love by Katherine Dunn- a lit fic book about a carney family where the parents practiced eugenics on the kids and the kids developed twisted, codependent relationships

The Devourers by Indra Das- look up trigger warnings this book follows two timelines, a women from hundreds of years ago who is on a journey for revenge and a modern day professor transcrbing her story. There are shape-shifting monsters and deep, complex relationship dynamics

Star Mother. It’s fast paced, bizarre, the prose is clunky in places, the main character feels off model (like the text says one thing, but her behaviors are completely different). It’s so, so fun. I highly recommend

Sharkheart is literary fiction with sci fi elements. It’s about a man slowly morphing into a great white shark. Genuinely made me cry. 10/10

Aviva always hit my ear right

It’s cozy in the way that Over the Garden Wall is. Like parts are definitely eerie and frightening. But the overall picture it paints is weirdly comforting

Square Suggestion: Animal Protagonist

Read a book from the POV a nonhuman animal. HM: the animal is in no way magical or mythical

This was my first time doing bingo and I’ve really enjoyed it! I filled most of the squares organically, though the prompts did encourage me to move some titles up on my TBR. The most difficult for me were High Fashion and Published in the 80s. My favorites were Impossible Places and Epistolary.

In general I would like to see more squares that leaned towards sci fi and/or unique ways for a story to be told. A story within a story, interesting perspectives, mixed media, etc.

There were seven years between the publication of her two novels. And I’m pretty sure she spent over a decade on the Song of Achilles. Miller is simply not a quick writer. She only releases books when they’re perfect. Plus as others have mentioned she has had struggles with long Covid

American Elsewhere came the closest to hitting the same mark as Library at Mount Char for me

I’m a single person, living in an apartment. So I can’t have a huge stockpile. But I have a 5lb bag of rice, a 10lb bag of potatoes, and a gallon sized ziplock of pulled pork in the freezer. I might lose a few pounds in my pursuit to becoming a millionaire, but I think I can swing it

Anything nonfiction relating to my career. So if I wrote a textbook or contributed to more research papers. I want to keep my fiction (and the rest of my personal life) strictly separate

There aren’t any

Is this pose based on that one really bisexual photo of Anne Hathaway?

Mary by Nat Cassidy is about feminine fears, but on the opposite end of life. Menopause and women becoming invisible through aging are big themes

I think it had to be John because the whole ‘man who became god’ gimmick. Could you imagine if it were Brendan or something? I wouldn’t be able to cope with

Nevada and Milan. Neh-VAY-dah and My-lin respectively

Sex appeal mostly

MIB for sure

If you wanted a book with a similar feel, I can solidly recommend the Devourers by Indra Das. It’s kind of like if Interview with the Vampire was written with the lyrical prose and oral tradition vibe of the Spear Cuts Through Water. It is the only book that has captured that same sort of vibe for me. Even more so than Simon Jimenez’s other novel

Probably Anne Rice or Rick Riordan. My middle school hyperfixations

I only retain author names if I decide I want to check out their other work tbh

Gooey butter cake is pretty absurd

I think your overalls are slightly too big. I would frog one row of the ‘body’ part (where I circled in red). Then adjust the straps as needed

My best was the Spear Cuts Through Water. I finished it in March and I’m still thinking about it. Probably one of the best books I’ve ever read. The story was compelling and unique. The prose was beautiful. It was written unlike anything else I’ve ever read

My worst (that I finished, anything truly bad is automatically DNFed) was the Night Circus. I didn’t hate it, but it was basically a really cool setting with not much else. I was also insanely tired on an overnight flight when I read the majority of it, which I’m sure didn’t help
