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
