I'm reviewing XX by Rian Hughes.
I read it for a book club I'm in, enjoyed it at first, then developed increasing misgivings as I went on...

Very recent postapocalyptic novella where rainwater causes amnesia.
Enjoyed some aspects of it, but others I found frustrating -

Middle grade time travel fantasy from a Palestinian author, set in Palestine.
An interesting, fast-paced adventure that shows a lot in a short book, but be aware it ends on a cliffhanger! Looking forward to book 2.

April, the month of autism awareness and poetry, might be a good time to do a subscription drive?
Subscribe and get Very Aware of Autism and Poetry 😆
There are also book reviews, stories, more poetry, running around like a headless chicken.

Fascinating new anthology focusing on authors of color (mostly diasporic) - easy to miss because it was published by an academic press, but you don't want to miss it because it's really good.

Debut short story collection! Mostly fantasy with a fabulistic / mythic tone, some science fiction elements. Cohesive, gentle, resonant.

Epistolary novella about two art dealers and the rise of Nazism in Germany. Reads as fresh and unexpected even today (despite the very familiar subject matter). A surprise!
