Most Anticipated Scifi & Fantasy: May – July 2018

I'm back! The good news is that the anxiety has subsided with the help of good books, sun, and my decision to start drawing art again.

Book Haul – March 2018

My March book haul was the biggest so far this year, mostly because the Canadian customs is annoyingly slow and inconsistent, so books I'd ordered months ago from the UK just now arrived. A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers I confess I haven't read The Long Way to A Small Angry Planet yet, …
