This is a reread for me. I’m glad to continue my MG collection.

This was a fun discovery for me! If you enjoy storytelling, check this out.

A comic book gifted to me by my brother for Christmas. This was a gory comic but still really fun! A master warrior likes to cut off monster heads! He does it a lot!

This was a slim volume that I read in one day while taking a break from Alan Watts. It was packed full of info about Loki–lots of little tidbits I’d never even heard of before. Great stuff. Absolute must-read for a beginner Norse pagan.

Doughty calls her Youtube fans ‘deathlings’. I’m happy to be a fan. This book is as hilarious as the title.

This book! Oh my gosh! So many people have recommended it to me. This book is about a crew of sapients, human and non-human, tunneling holes in space. They have to live with each other for long lengths of time. What does that do to a group? This crew becomes really close, except for, as you may guess, the one asshole in the group. I love the incredibly detailed and thoughtfully written aliens. I love that the ship’s crew, including the AI, are basically chosen family. It reminds me of Cedar McCloud’s writing in that the novel keeps subverting the dramatic directions I think it’s going to go. One friend described this book as a comfort read and I think he’s right. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

I read one of her short stories in my pandemic short story club. Given that I want to read more Irish authors, I decided to buy the whole (e)book. I love how meditative this book is. Keegan really plumbs the depths of human nature here. I would definitely read more by her.

What a well-researched, well-written book. I am so into this. I will definitely be using this as I study Irish divination more in-depth.

This tracks the trends of globalization in medieval times across a multitude of countries. And it doesn’t only focus on Europe, which was great. I did find I had to push myself through this book a bit. I’m still not used to reading history books.

A well-written and deeply researched book on the Dagda. It’s a short primer, but packed with info. It was great for a beginner like me.

This was advertised to me by many people as “lesbian necromancers in space.” Yes, it’s as EPIC as it sounds. This book is heartbreaking. I would’ve cried while reading it had I not been at work. I really wanna read the sequel.

A historical fiction of two generations of a small northern village. Set in the time of the Romans invading Britain for the third time? Boudicca’s era basically. This was a great book! Very realistic, well-written, and tense. My own personal hangup was that there was a character debating between two love interests and I usually dislike that trope. I kept reading and was delighted that the character’s choice had very long term consequences throughout the whole book. The book centers around a mother and daughter and their respective coming-of-age in the village. The daughter is physically disabled, and this also has consequences in the book. I think it was respectfully done.
