I was reading a review of the book and seemingly the genre was (sarcastically) referred to as "lust in the loam". Obviously, Seth would fit right in.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I picked a hell of a time to reread the Imperial Radch novels, particularly Ancillary Mercy

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I read them last year and yeah, they are a hell of a thing, especially in the current environment! But I couldn't put them down once I got going.

Cold Comfort Farm is particularly interesting because it was SF when it was written: it was written in the 30s and set in the near future--there are videocalls!--but in a world where WWII never happened.
it's a great read though. So fun.

Our wings are not tired.
Silliest reason to appreciate Alexis Hall. Mysterious Letter has 54 chapters. My habit of snatching a few minutes here and there to read, along with my completist desire to stop at chapter's end are both served with short chapters.
