Books Read June 2024
Direct Sunlight by Christine Sneed
I fell in love with Sneed's writing after reading The Virginity of Famous Men earlier this year. This is another strong collection with her trademark subtle shifting glances into people's delicate lives and emotional states. Excellent work.
Cocktail by Lisa Alward
This was the final of the 2024 Danuta Gleed nominees I had to read. The funny thing is this is a lot like Sneed's work; literary fiction about relationships, but this didn't resonate. Probably found it the least engaging of the nominees but what do I know? It won the Danuta Gleed.
The Doll's Alphabet by Camilla Grudova.
Also a Danuta Gleed nominee but from a previous year. I saw this mentioned in a Twitter thread about best short story collections. Lived up to the hype. Eerie speculative fiction.
The Dance of the Demons by Esther Singer Kreitman
I heard someone mention Kreitman in the context of being Isaac Bashevis Singer's neglected and forgotten older literary sister. Was she an undiscovered amazing author buried by the patriarchy? Well, not in English she wasn't. I found the novel quite sad and a bit of a slog. An interesting read in the way it captures a way of European Jewry about to be completely obliterated but not a great read on its own. The edition I read included essays and notes on the translation which were very interesting though.
Things That Cause Inappropriate Happiness by Danila Botha
I wanted to like this so much. I found it incredibly mid. Also not the author's fault but there was an insane amount of typos in my copy, like 20+ which I've never had in a book before.
Bear by Julia Phillips
Went in and out of like with this one but I thought it stuck the landing incredibly well.
Annie Bot by Sierra Greer
Quick and heartbreaking look at a sex bot who gains sentience. I thought this was incredibly heartbreaking and wonderful.

When I first saw efellana_illustrations beautiful, whimsical artwork, I knew I needed to see Elain in their style. They were so wonderful to work with, and I’m so happy with how this piece turned out💕 I think that this poem by Mary Oliver goes so well with this artwork, and Elain as a character in general, so I had to include it. Personally, I think Elain deserves to spend more time frolicking through the woods, getting up to all sorts of witchy business, talking with the birds, and gazing into mysterious golden orbs.

#elain archeron#acotar#acotar fanart#if I could just direct your attention to the autumn leaves and the beams of sunlight streaming down on her and the golden glowing orb#it’s still elucien even when its not elucien is what I’m saying#the golden ball turned out kind of Lucien’s eye coded imo and tbh that might be my new headcanon for his eye#out with the mechanical looking swirls and in the the flowery vines honestly that would be so pretty for him#my commissions

Ninth baby blanket in this round of blankets! This one is cabybaras
#sewing#handmade#baby blankets#capybara baby blanket#I used contrast stitching this time because I did not have the right shade of brown#orange. brown? sort of a light rust color??? whatever it is I did not have matching thread#I had a bit of a stress-related health flare up that kept me from sewing for a bit#nothing major I was just panicking about the MRI and then about the shared birthday outing with family#it ended up being fun (we went mini golfing! thank you people who suggested it)#but it was pretty physically exhausting for me#standing still and direct sunlight: not two of my better skills lol
