I had to re-read the entire NewsFlesh trilogy when this pandemic hit, it's just so spot-on. Can't wait until we have quick viral testing devices like in that series. I also loved the Parasite/Symbiosis series, but not quite as much as the NewsFlesh series.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The next Wayward Children will be Book 6. Her output is really quite implausible.

That was #5, you may be all caught up until January. Not exactly a read them in order sort of series, necessarily, or a keep them in order in my head sort of series, certainly...even my phone is confused, it won't file In An Absent Dream with the rest for reasons of its own...

I just got offered a free ebook of a paranormal gay romance novel about a helicopter pilot and a were-seal. The first in a series!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
What's the difference between a were-seal and a selkie?

I would guess selkies are more in control of which form they take than were-seals but I am unfamiliar with Matt's series so I could be very wrong. I am enjoying the thought of were-seals baying at the full moon, though.

There's a short story in "Otherwere: Stories of Transformation" about a guy who turns into a were-guppy. "Going too far" by Doris Egan. Fun.
