Recent additions to my TBR pile. Never Whistle At Night, Interzone 295, Moccasin Square Gardens (Richard Van Camp), The Supply Chain (Aaron Schneider), The Pump (Sydney Hegele), Augur volume 5 Collected Edition, The Marigold (Andrew F Sullivan), and Truth Telling (Michelle Good). I leave anthologies scattered around the house so I can read a short story whenever I see one. I’m especially partial to horror stories written by Inuit authors. That’s some scary shit. @InterzoneMag@indigenousauthors@augurmag#horror#anthologies#CanLit#Indigedon#IndigenousMastodon#IndigenousFuturism#Bookstodon

In this solo TTRPG, we are a tiny wizard!
We MUST conquer the mountain of old DVDs at the end of the Valley of Unfolded Laundry in the lands of My Bedroom.
Hey, @premeesaurus's NO ONE WILL COME BACK FOR US is back on the Edmonton Bestseller list! Sweet! Don't sleep on this one, folks. Baby is 2 months old and growing. Just look at those tentacles!
Resisting the annoyingly Canadian urge to say sorry about the fires. Channelling energy into calling my MPPs. Still not enough. Last year we published Rebecca Campbell's ARBOREALITY about Canadian wildfires. Such a beautifully written but intensely scary book which hands local communities back some agency for what they can look like in the future. That (and this) is not the future anyone wants. We all deserve the one possible if we act boldly now.
Ali Blythe is one of the most astonishing poets writing in Canada today, and this is the book I'm waiting for in 2023. His new poetry book 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘥𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵 is out Sept 5. It takes place over one night, lying next to a sleeping lover. Formally, he breaks Keats's "Last Sonnet" into 28 titles, from "Bright Star" to the swoon "To death".
The Aurora Awards ballot is out! This has become an unofficial start of summer for me. Getting to read through some of the best #scifi and #fantasy that Canada has to offer is always a treat - and this year's ballot is STACKED with great authors. We're eating good. #canlit https://www.csffa.ca/awards-information/current-ballot/
