The next book in my Novella Week celebration is THE FUTURE GOD OF LOVE by Dilman Dila, from Luna Press. While the plot didn't jive with me, the worldbuilding was phenomenal. So much detail in such a short book. 📲 full review at link in profile.

Novella Week continues with DEPART, DEPART! by Sim Kern and published by Stelliform Press. It has a little bit of everything: queer found family, ghosts, and climate crisis. 📲 full review at link in profile.

It's Novella Week over at my blog (link in profile). Today I'm reviewing LOCAL STAR by Aimee Ogden and Interstellar Flight Press. A polyamorous queer space adventure about a framed military captain, a guttergirl with commitment issues, and her stubborn ex.

Had a couple of neat bird experiences last week. I rescued a scrub jay nestling that fell from it's nest. Also, some sparrows (?) built a nest on the lantern above the table in the courtyard where I take lunch, and their babies hatched.
