More content of Sylvester and her ex "soulmate" Moniz (note: this term isn't romantic in hell, they act more as ride or die buddies, or, if you're familiar with homestuck, moirails).

They used to be part of an anarchist group trying to get rid of the social and economy hierarchy, but things ended quite badly, and Sylvester is to blame for the obvious betrayal. Moniz isn't much better knowing how he himself is actually part of said hierarchy since he comes from a well off Prinmon family, nevermind how his great-great-great-great grandfather is Leviathan, the prince of Incithan (aka Envy if you want to get technical). Leviathan had a lot of redesigns, but I'm happy with the strange tentacle/serpentine/jellyfish look. It's said that, having lost his sight after falling from heaven, Lucifer removed one of his many eyes and gave it him, which now dangles above his head. It's said Lucifer can still see through it, but even Leviathan isn't sure.

Researching the darkness, or why I hope no one is reviewing my library loan list...

I’ve been doing some research for my upcoming sequel to Spit & Polish. In it, I send my struggling nursing student Ruth to the psychiatric hospital for her rotation. Back in that time period, 1947, treatments were few, but care had started to be humanized (somewhat). It has been a while since my own psychiatric nursing training, so I’ve been digging into nursing textbooks and guides for…

Do you have any book recs for someone in a reading slump? I always had a book out from the library when I was at school, but fell out of the habit and want to get back into it!

Personally when I find myself in a slump I tend to go for short books and novellas to try and avoid that mid-book slog that can happen when I'm not feeling motivated lol

Some excellent fast reads for me were

- Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix E Harrow it's only 33 pages and it is legitimately one of the best stories I've ever read lol

- This Is How You Lose The Time War by Max Gladstone and Amal El-Mohtar is less than 200 pages and has some of the most romantic language I've ever read if, like me, you live for the yearning lol

- Milk Blood Heat by Dantiel W Moniz is a collection of short stories that comes in around 200 pages and has some of my favourite contemporary lit fic stories I've ever read mostly surrounding the Black female experience in Florida. Just the range and quality of writing are just *perfect*

- The Singing Hills Cycle by Nghi Vo currently has 5 or 6 books around 120 pages each and are all excellent examples of Asian inspired high fantasy and are real love letters to storytelling in all its forms (the second one is my favourite though I love the tigers lol)

- Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells are a great choice if you like Sci-Fi, the first one All Systems Red is 150 pages and surprisingly funny and heartwarming considering the name lol. I think a couple of the books are full length novels but the first one at least definitely isn't

- or, if you're more of a horror girlie, Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones, Helpmeet by Naben Ruthnum, The Country Will Bring Us No Peace by Matthieu Simard, and Green Fuse Burning by Tiffany Morris are all dark weird little 100 page stories that I ate up in one sitting

Hopefully there's something on this list that appeals to you because slumps are so tough to be in and push through so I hope you you find something that helps soon 😩❤️

All You Need Is Love: a Seasonal Trip Down Memory Lane with "Love Actually"

I feel it in my fingers. I feel it in my toes. We're finishing out my picks for this year's Nostalgia November and ringing in the holiday season with the Christmas classic, "Love Actually."

Content Warning: Love Actually contains depictions of workplace sexual harassment, womanizing, infidelity, annoying early 2000s fatphobia, low-key stalking, and parental/spousal death. Also, it’s very early 2000s, so it hasn’t aged perfectly but it’s still fun. Viewer discretion is suggested.  If you’re under the age of 18, stay in a child’s place. There’s nothing for you here.  Note: I’m…
