Lock In Series | John Scalzi
This crime scifi story details a person with Haden's syndrome--someone who has contracted a virus that leaves 1% of the population paralyzed but conscious, and is attempting to solve a crime. Scalzi is a great writer and the topic of "Lock In" is so inventive and creative.

2023 Gävle Goat!
Well it’s getting to that time of year again, and our watch of the Gävle Goat approaches.
Our thirteen-meter tall straw friend will be inaugurated on December 3rd, and will stand for the holiday season (or until it burns).
Watch the live stream of the goat here!
Looking forward to another burn watch this year!

At Night All Blood is Black | David Diop
This story takes place during World War 1, with our main character Alfa Ndiaye, a Senegalese man, part of the 'Chocolate' Army fighting for the French. Unable to mercy kill a badly wounded friend, he descends into madness and starts murdering his enemies in increasingly gruesome ways. I loved this, finding the prose nasty but detailing such a fascinating perspective of a part of history of which I know very little.
Format: Physical copy
Read in: 2023
High recommend for fans of historical fiction/horror.

i am so unwell over this scene you have no idea
the fact that we can tell EXACTLY what eric is thinking, how he goes from realizing ariel is a mermaid to recognizing that there's a bigger thing to focus on and he'll process the reveal later, when the woman he loves isn't in danger.
how he immediately looks down at ariel and sees her expression, he sees how terrified she is, because for the past three days he's done nothing BUT learn how to read her expressions, so he knows her fears without her having to say anything, and his only thought goes to "keep her safe, keep her here, keep her close"
and can we please talk about the physical affection between these two???? how ariel's hand goes from laying on eric's chest to holding onto his shoulder, how eric goes from just kind of holding ariel up to pulling her as close as he possibly can, curling himself around her and surrounding her in his arms, fully prepared to take the brunt of ursula's power if it comes down to it. because she's his world, and he refuses to lose her again.
and eric's GLARE??? HELLO???? the man just realized that the silent girl he's fallen in love with and the girl who saved his life is the same person and he just wanted to kiss her and celebrate that but now he is PISSED and he just wants to live happily ever after so he can and will do everything he can to get that ending for him and ariel.
