Short Fiction I Enjoyed from June 2022
Hello! I am frighteningly behind on these roundups because from 4 July 2022 to 5 August 2022 I was hospitalised for spine injury (acute exacerbation of prolapsed inverted disc, says the medical report) and was bedridden for nearly that whole time. Then came a lot of grading (in fact, I was grading and supervising even … Continue reading Short Fiction I Enjoyed from June 2022

I managed to finish reading a novella in two nights! That’s Sarah J Maas’s A Court of Frost and Starlight, which I quickly finished after finishing A Court of Wings and Ruin. I want to go to the next book in the series but decided I wouldn’t gobble it down too fast and am reading … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 04/06/2022
Short Fiction I Enjoyed from May 2022
May yielded a fine crop of short stories that I greatly enjoyed. Stories of haunting, of love and belonging — every single story on this list had a strong narrative voice that pulled at me. Highly recommended! A Manual on Different Options To Bring a Loved One To Life by Oyedotun Damilola Muees (Clarkesworld Magazine). … Continue reading Short Fiction I Enjoyed from May 2022

Today’s the last day of my two-week “vacation” at home. Tomorrow, the first working day of the year (`sif I haven’t been working on work stuff at home because academic vacation, amirite) begins, and I thought I’d post in here a little earlier than I’d planned, simply because I have things to share! I’m… a … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 09/01/2022

MA/PHD dissertation chapters? Articles I’m peer-reviewing? Other articles I’m adding to my own articles? *droll look* Apart from that, I finished Brian Jacques’s Outcast of Redwall because I was co-writing an article with my PhD student and fell into a Redwall rabbit hole (ha ha). I also read a couple of extremely smutty books by … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 11/10/2021

I figured I should keep to doing this once a month. Mostly I’ve been reading and grading assignments but when I’m not doing that, I’m reading books for articles I am writing/co-writing/revising. I’ve also read some short fiction I really enjoyed, particularly in the August issue of Clarkesworld Magazine (Check out A Thousand Tiny Gods … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 13/08/2021

It’s been a very busy week, and I’ve been juggling so many things while under the Pfizer side effects. Which, all’s said and done weren’t too bad but this fatigue is something else. Hope it clears by Monday. I didn’t take any leave and in fact have been doing so much supervision, consultation, attending meetings. … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 17/07/2021
