Hinrich finds his wife Doro dead at her desk, with an annotated manuscript of his in front of her. She had things to say about his embryonic novel, about him and about their life together, and it's not pleasant. It's also at odds with his view of himself and his own memories (although those are unreliable too). This definitely wasn't a feel-good novella, but it made me think.

pickThis audio was only an hour, so I think this would be considered a short story probably.
The story of a girl who spends a summer helping relatives on their farm. It‘s scary at first, but she finds them kind and more caring than her own parents, and thrives in their care. It‘s not all sunshine though, as there is a secret that overshadows.
Beautiful writing, I will put one of Keegan‘s books on hold.
pickA group of bandits takes in a nun and gets more than they bargained for... This was a fast-paced story with interesting characters. I would have liked to read more of their adventures by the end, the world had a fascinating history. And the writing was funnier than I expected

pickBack to my rereads of this series! I'd sort-of-mostly remembered how this worked out, except for one thing. It's still very fun, and perhaps even more so now I've read more martial arts stories and know some of the xianxia/wuxia/etc type tropes, re: the character Wei Jintai. I wish there'd been a little more about her and Sang.
pickWhile I was initially horrified to learn that Henry & Tobias had parted ways - they did need the time apart. I didn‘t have to wait too long until Henry‘s mum manages to reunite the band - and these two idiots slowly work their way back to each other (adding a new folklorist to the found family along the way! I could read stories of their future exploits forever. Poor Tobias is locked into being the [ignored] voice of reason forever).

pickA book I wouldn't have read without #QueerBC and it's a soft pick. The characters were interesting enough, but I've lost track of who's who at some point. I did like the nun a lot though. Sadly, I don't think this will stay with me for a longer period. I can't even remember the title right 😅

pickAs much as I enjoyed this novella and want to read more about the world and the characters I feel like the size was just right. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out it's a trilogy so I do get to read more without being weighed down by a filler arc.
