What I’ve Been Reading:
The newest October Daye book by Seanan McGuire.
Sleep No More (#17)
October is very happy with her life as the second daughter of her pureblood parents, Amandine and Simon Torquill. Born to be the changeling handmaid to her beloved sister August, she spends her days working in her family’s tower, serving as August’s companion, and waiting for the day when her sister sets up a household of her own. Everything is right in October’s Faerie. Everything is perfect.
Everything is a lie.
October has been pulled from her own reality and thrown into a twisted reinterpretation of Faerie where nothing is as it should be and everything has been distorted to support Titania’s ideals. Bound by the Summer Queen’s magic and thrust into a world turned upside down, October has no way of knowing who she can trust, where she can turn, or even who she really is. As strangers who claim to know her begin to appear and the edges of Titania’s paradise begin to unravel, Toby will have to decide whether she can risk everything she knows based on only their stories of another world.
But first she’ll have to survive this one, as Titania demonstrates why she needed to be banished in the first place—and this time, much more than Toby’s own life is at stake.
New Works By Previous Guests:
A new novella from J.E. Taylor:
Ancient Goddess (#1)
A soldier. A war. An ungodly order.
My name, Kara Mist, means wild, stormy one. I once was a battle-ready warrior, an elite member of Odin’s Valkyrie force. But the centuries of peace have softened the Valkyrie to the point our battle practice consists more of cajoling than sparring to keep our skills sharp.
Although the other Valkyrie are complacent, I am unsettled. My bones ache for adventure. When peace between the realms crumbles, bringing with it a bloody and world-altering war, I am ready. But Odin’s order to reap an innocent soul from Earth is not the adventure I signed up for. Refusing Odin is not something any Valkyrie has done before, and the consequences of disobeying are deadly.
Do I blindly follow orders, or do I rebel and face my own demise?

Picture(s) of the Week:
I met this cute little stray cat this week on an evening walk. She meowed at me, then meowed her way into the storm drain. I checked, but didn’t see any kittens or dangers inside. She managed to jump in and out easily. After a little bit, I brought her food and water. I’m keeping an eye out and posted to my local facebook and Nextdoor group to see if she’s missing.
