First, a bit of an update on how I’m doing and why this blog has been pretty dead lately. Apart from a brief period in the summer, I’ve been suffering from increasingly worse depression and fatigue for most of the year, and while I’ve been making some progress on figuring out what treatment I need recently (it’s all tangled up with some recurring health issues, so I really want to go through the checklist first), I expect I still have some time to go before I’ll be better.
But I’ve been trying to ease myself back into reading and there might be some more mini review posts soon. We’ll see. Still, there will be no monthly wrap-ups until I’m better, and no yearly wrap-up either (aside from a short list of 2023 favourites, probably) because looking at the stats of how much less of my favourite hobby did I get to do this year would only make me feel worse.
Now, the reviews! This post is half standard mini review fare, a novella and a short story collection, and half an attempt to deal with my review backlog. And all of them books I quite enjoyed 🙂
