Books of the Month: March 2024
A look back! I read more books in March than I thought I had, but it's getting busy in my world of finishing the academic semester/prepping for summer camp, so the reading-for-pleasure pace is slowing considerably. Here's some books from my March that I liked and would recommend!
Raven Black, by Ann Cleeves: First in the Shetland mystery series (I think there is a TV show based on these; from what I can tell there are several differences between show and book series). I've been reading a lot of mysteries that are a little shorter, and feel more quickly written? or something - they aren't bad, but don't take time with the narration. Cleeves writes thoughtfully about people and place and plot. I enjoyed it.
The Seas, by Samantha Hunt: What a funky little book. Is the young woman narrator psychotic, or is she actually a mermaid? Don't go in expecting a solid answer to that question. The book keeps you guessing.
Point of Honour, by Madeleine E. Robins: Not quite like other Regency mysteries, this is set in an alternate historical world where the Queen is regent (but her health declining). Meanwhile, Sarah Tolerance is a Fallen Woman who lives at her aunt's brothel, but prefers to earn her keep by being an inquiry agent who dresses in men's clothes regularly and is very very good with a sword (thanks to her deceased lover). Maybe you can see why I liked this book. Now I just need to get my hands on the third in the series (not at my library! or available through ILL!)
Nona the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir: I guess if you haven't read this yet I can't convince you to? I will say that I don't have the same exact kind of brain rot over the characters in the lesbian space necromancer books as some tumblrites (this is not an insult, I get brain rot over other characters, it's just very subjective) but I do find myself thinking almost obsessively about the plot threads and reveals and everything whenever I read these books. And tearing up occasionally. It's just good writing. And plot ideas/setting concepts that no one else has ever had in the history of the world.

Raven Black hosted The Black Hallows Tour, which we attended in Akron. From the two times that I have seen the band, it seems that they always put on an entertaining show. They describe themselves as a “dark, metal carnival” and that is 100% accurate.
Shout out to their merch guy who is literally the nicest guy on the planet! If you see him at the merch table, put some tip money in his cute…
