Lowland Sea by Suzu Mckee Charnas is quite a grimly satisfying modern riff on Poe's mask of the red death. The Horrid Glory of its Wings by Elizabeth Bear is about a girl and a harpy and manages pathos without sentimentality. Sea Hearts by Margo Lanagan is delicious, rich poetic language and the story of the men who stole the selkies to be their wives, and the boys who loved their mams.

Got suckered into trying Spotify premium audio books but they want more money to add enough minutes so this'll be my last time using that "service"

Trash. Can't believe this has been this popular and influential. Dresden is a lecherous buffoon and I'm not convinced that Butcher is much better. And as hardboiled fiction it sucks, the equivalent of a fedora over a Hawaiian shirt.

It's okay.

I've read stories so far about rescuing an abused donkey to avoid visiting a parent with dementia, a small-time lawyer causing a scene at the dog races, and a young autistic child with a special interest struggling to share it with others.

It's good but I think I might be biased.

Oh lol whoops didn't realise I had gotten through book one already.

I continue to dip back into this work, so I've hardly "finished" reading it, but might as well put it back on the shelf.
