Title: The Mystery at Dunvegan Castle | Author: T. L. Huchu | Publisher: Tor (2023)

Latest haul...

Well, as you can guess, I made another run at the bookstore. Today I actually got to visit two different bookstores….came home with 10 more books to add to the collection. My hubby and I didn’t really get to do anything for Valentine’s Day because we were both working. So much hubby took the day off from work today so that we could spend the day doing fun stuff.

"Get ready, because there are new must-read science fiction and fantasy books hitting the shelves this month! It’s time to trek to the bookstores and the beach, the library and the lake, or any combination of the four. After all, reading outside is a bit of a seasonal requirement.

Personally, I love reading sci-fi and fantasy books in the summer. When I have a few hours on a back deck or a beach or in a park, falling into a new magic system or sci-fi what-if is so appealing. I’ve always found it so much easier to disconnect from distractions when it’s nice out. It must be a holdover from the New Englander urge to appreciate good weather when it comes. Nevertheless, if it helps me settle into a good book, I’m not complaining. With August coming at the tail end of the summer season, it has the greatest potential for reading."

While fantasy authors often cite such iconic fantasy stories as "Lord Of The Rings" and "Harry Potter" as influences, in my new interview with author T.L. Huchu about his urban fantasy novel "The Legacy Of Arniston House," the fourth book in his "Edinburgh Nights" series, he also cites a video game-inspired TV show of the bloody battle persuasion. https://paulsemel.com/exclusive-interview-the-legacy-of-arniston-house-author-t-l-huchu/ 📖🪄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Last song: ok well it's sidi monsour NOW. before that it was overflow by een glish, which i don't know anything abt. z put on a group playlist during our cabin-in-the-woods vacation a couple weeks ago! it's rly fun im a big fan

Currently reading: just just started (like today) the library of the dead by t. l. huchu which i got from a used bookstore, even tho it's fairly new. it's set in edinburgh and is abt a tween who can talk to ghosts, so we'll see where that goes! ive been in more of a read-a-graphic-novel-in-one sitting for months, but then i read a book on vacation and im like hm maybe this happening for me.

Currently watching: also what we do in the shadows. love u weekly shows. agree that it's past its prime, but having a little crush is fun. otherwise i chewed thru drawtectives s2 while catsitting last week, which is drawfee's youtube detective series -- the season was kind of adventure train-y which i really appreciated.

Current obsession: video game!!!! story of seasons: a wonderful life!!!! it's the sos remake of harvest moon: awl, which was one of my top three video games as a kid. it's fascinating revisiting this after stardew valley and other contemporary farming sims -- there's way less to do and time passes way quicker, i got thru year one in under a week. also, the aesthetics are a really jarring mix of the modern sos style and character/setting design from the gamecube days.

"The Library of the Dead" by T. L. Huchu

I finished reading this and thought I’d share. I have to admit, Ropa got on my nerves for the first couple of chapters. I don’t know what it was but I didn’t exactly like her at first. But that quickly changed and I ended up liking her. She’s a tough cookie but she has to be given her circumstances. However, she’s human enough to make her seem believable (if that makes any sense at all). I…

Priya's fiddling with her wheelchair, popping it open again. She places it on the ground, perpendicular to the cart. 'Hold it steady,' she says, and I place my hand on the chair. She reaches out with her right hand, places it on my shoulder, and using the left, lifts herself off the cart, then swings over, plonking herself in the chair with a wee grunt. She removes the brake on it and rides over my foot. 'Feel free to break my toes anytime,' I say. 'Sorry, biped,' she replies.

“Masterful . . . Tsamaase has created a disturbing techno dystopia in a future Botswana that terrifies with its echoes of our own increasingly authoritarian cyber-policed world. This beautifully written work haunts and upends expectations with its resurrected ghosts and gods and ancestors of Motswana cosmology. What an accomplished debut!” —T. L. Huchu, Caine Prize finalist and author of The Library of the Dead
