While I have read all but one Discworld novel, as well as most of the graphic novels and ancillary books, I have never read the books in publication order and, early in the year this year, needing to revisit some of my favorite comfort fiction, I decided to do just that.

I am still not quite sure why I have decided to participate in #Blaugust this year, or whether I’ll manage to keep going with it, but I thought I would make the attempt, at least. And since, looking back, I realize that I haven’t blogged since 2021, I suspect a reintroduction is in order. I Read more

Book Cover for Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman Sweet Reads: Norse Mythology Vol. 1

Cover of Thor: Daughter of Asgard Sweet Reads: Thor: Daughter of Asgard
Thor: Daughter of Asgard should have been an easy like for me. I like cute dorky lesbians. I like Norse mythology. I love urban fantasy. But, try as I might, I couldn’t find much to like.

It’s hard to write when anxious. I was already having issues with anxiety before the word “pandemic” became a daily concern, before I started to worry if my day job would exist six months down the line, after the repercussions from a near-total shutdown of the economy hits us. I dissociate into books. They have Read more
