The review of Silver Helix in Aurealis has totally made my day!!

Comparing my book to BLADE RUNNER!?!?!?

Meanwhile, in the #BadEconomy.

> Beginning March 24, 2025, Publishers Weekly charges $25 for every book submitted for PW review consideration.

PW is one of those sources #librarians, especially public librarians, often check and rely on for #reviews and acquisition decisions. This, IMHO, seriously taints it.

I read so much on March that it took me the whole day to write a recap. Take a look at what delighted me last month. (Spoiler: it's mostly The Apothecary Diaries.)

Review - The Apothecary Diaries (LN), vol 2, by Natsu Hyuuga: I'm starting to feel sorry for Jinshi, re: Maomao's lack of interest. I love Maomao, though. A fun volume! Rating: 4/5 ("really liked it").

Eat, Poop, Die: How Animals Make Our World is out in paperback today! Fun, fascinating, and always with one eye firmly on the facts, this book shows how animals shape ecosystems through their everyday activities.

The Tomb of Dragons by Katherine Addison

Though feeling adrift after losing his ability to speak with the dead, Thara Celehar remains very much himself. Happily, he has finally realised and accepted that others value and love him. This is helpful when he has to deal with a change of job, a loss of purpose, threats on his life, and political upheaval.

I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as the previous books, but unsure why. Perhaps the too easy resolution of a certain plot point? Also, the (potential?) romance’s slow burn is so mean. Let Thara love and be loved! Still an enjoyable read. ★★★☆☆

#BookReview: Killer Potential by Hannah Deitch @wnbooks #KillerPotential #BookTwitter #booktwt #BookX #BookSky #damppebbles

"Decisions were made: I made them. Violence was done: I did it. Crime scenes were fled: I fled them. People were hurt: I hurt them. Someone was loved: I loved them. Not everything I did was bad. Just most of it. A scholarship kid with straight As and massive potential, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she'd be someone.

Review - A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation, vol 4, by Misaki, Momochi & Sando: introduces Eleven, who is a fun character and adds a bit of fun to the more serious Lizel and Gil. Rating: 4/5 ("really liked it").
