It's amazing how much faster reading goes when the book is good. Also when stuck in a car for hours. Have a book roundup.
Cinder House, Freya Marske, 2025 novella. Marske continues to be writing as if aiming for me personally; this is a Cinderella retelling and it is fun and clever and different and well-put-together, definitely recommended if you like that sort of thing.
Don't Sleep With the Dead, Nghi Vo, 2025 novella. Vo wasn't done with Gatsby, or felt Nick wasn't done with Gatsby; I didn't feel like this added much.
This Princess Kills Monsters, Ry Herman, 2025 novel. Back to fairytale retellings. This was so fun and funny and successfully meta, also recommended.
