Uncommon Charm
Emily Bergslien
@runalongwomble I finished a book for the first time in a million years! Uncommon Charm by Emily Bergslien and Kat Weaver, a 1920s family comedy with a lot of bite behind the charm. I could go back to something half finished or I could pick up another novella and keep the short fic vibes going?

Light from Uncommon Stars
Ryka Aoki
@ryka_aoki @Kay23807927 Your work is AMAZING regardless of whether it fits a random fantasy bingo square. (And I actually used Light from Uncommon Stars in my bingo chart for last year, for the "first contact" square 😁)

The Spear Cuts Through Water
Simon Jimenez
I think I've found my "how is everyone else not yelling from the rooftops about this book??" read of 2022: The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez is so beautifully layered, intricate and EXCITING. If you like your prose unusual and your stories non linear, READ IT NOW!
