Review – Old Moon Quarterly Issues 1 and 2
I was particularly happy to stumble across Old Moon Quarterly recently, as it helps fills a niche that could always use new outlets in the spec-fic magazine landscape. Old Moon Quarterly publishes “weird sword-and-sorcery fiction set in a historical paranormal setting or a secondary-world, with a focus on well-rounded characters driving strange action.” While I…

What I read in February 2022
I’m back after a short break from reviewing! In February I checked out Issue 1 of Archive of the Odd. The magazine presents itself as an archive of found documents, and all the stories within are some form of realistic artifact, be that notes on a PhD dissertation, text logs, NDAS, forums, or scientific reports…

What I read in October 2021
I had such high hopes for my reading this month, even foolishly tweeting out my book plans for all to see. I read exactly one book in October, and it was absolutely none of the ones pictured above. But not all was lost! While I didn’t quite read as many books as I wanted this…

What I read in September 2021
This month I took a break to chill out and read some Star Trek novels. I also read at turns gripping and charming short stories at Lit Up, Starward Shadows Quarterly, and Flash Point Science Fiction. I am switching up my formatting for this post so the short stories come first. I read some great…

What I read in September 2020
I was worried I wouldn’t have anything to write about this month. For some reason I thought I hadn’t read a lot this month. But I did, I read a whole lot! So here’s my thoughts on what I read in September, a wonderful assortment of books, webcomics, short stories, and a dissertation, for fun.

What I read in August 2020
All the books I read this month in some way touched on the formation and tensions of the United States, and the way people travel through it physically. This was partially on purpose, as I decided to read Twenty Thousand Roads: Women, Movement and The West this month in the hopes that it would in…

What I read in July 2020
Books: The Ocean at Home: An Illustrated History of the Aquarium by Bernd Brunner, which is what the title says. This one’s a weird recommend for me. This book is a fun, breezy read, while being super informative, highlighting the development of the aquarium from at-home scientific observations to the educational institution of the Aquarium,…
