Someday I hope I'll inspire other people to be creative too. I fantasize about meeting someone at a con dressed like a Pilell, or hearing someone write music to the lyrics I wrote in a novel.(less)

The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris by Evie  Woods

It started out so promising. A young woman starts a modest adventure by taking a job in France, as she'd always dreamed of. Then there are quirky characters in her neighborhood, a handsome suitor, a new friend, and lots of sensory details of deliciou ...more

A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher

Like her other books, this awesome novel puts a likeable character into a situation where she and her loved ones have to fight sinister supernatural forces. Kingfisher manages, once again, to make benign things (roses and ladybugs, in this book) turn ...more

The Wendigo by Algernon Blackwood

I liked Algernon Blackwood’s “The Willows” and thought another horror short about a super creepy Native American monster would be just the thing. And, uh, wow. This did not deliver. It has so many potentially great elements, and it just didn’t really

Network Effect by Martha Wells

This is the fifth book in the Murderbot series, and it’s easily as long as the others put together. The story is longer, more complex, and involves some characters from the previous works as well as new humans and new bots. It hits differently than t ...more

Exit Strategy by Martha Wells

This is the fourth in the Murderbot series, just as short as the first three, with a simple plot arc and tight pacing. In this one, Murderbot revisits the plotline of Dr. Mensah, from the first book, and re-engages with the characters from All System ...more

Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells

This book is the third in the charming Murderbot series, and it keeps up the pace with a short but perfectly-sized story in which the dry and darkly hilarious sec unit looks for ways to grind the gears of the evil corporation GreyCris. I listened to ...more

This is the second of the Murderbot series and I was happy to say that it has a complete plot arc and a satisfying ending in a 3 hour (give or take) audiobook. The plot in this book is that Murderbot has gone back to the planet where it got hacked an ...more

L.A. Coroner by Anne Soon Choi
Rate this book
Clear rating
This book implies it’s about celebrities for true crime fans, and I kind of thought it might be, since the titular L.A. Coroner who was involved with so many famous cases and autopsies. But it’s not a memoir, it’s a biography, and there’s an importan ...more

Unicorn Mountain by Michael  Bishop
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is a fantasy book that doesn’t fit neatly into categorizations. It feels less like a fantasy book than a character-driven literary novel that happens to have unicorns and spirits in it. We have Bo, who’s dying of AIDS and has been ostracized by ...more

This is technically more of a short story than a novel, but someone had mentioned it was the inspiration for The Hollow Places, which is a book I adored, so I thought I’d check it out. Actually, the critique of The Hollow Places asserted that T. King ...more
