Our Bingo for 2026 is Live! You can check Official Bingo Challenge Post and the accompanying Recommendations Post.

Big thanks to @JaymesRS@literature.cafe and @misericordiae@literature.cafe for all the work they do to arrange these!

As for books, reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series). Didn't get much time, but slowly making progress.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

It took me 2 tries to read it, I knew there was something beautiful there the first time but I wasn’t in the right place mentally.

That’s understandable. I’m glad you gave it a second try.

Such a good book. I love the epistolary format.

If you love epistolary things, give Ella Minnow Pea a try.

(Also I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention DraculaDaily.com)
