— Meoraq Uyane, The Last Hour of Gann by R. Lee Smith
March 2025 Wrap-Up
I’m a little more on top of things than last month — I’m only three days late! What a resounding blogging success I am. Books Read: 1. The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka: This had been on my to-read list for a while (possibly since it was published), and I’ve been keeping an eye out for it as I trawl used bookstores because that cover is gorgeous.

Featuring in this picture is Amber, our main girl and the best lizardman Meoraq. Though I haven’t done him justice. I’m not familiar with drawing aliens, much less lizard aliens but it definitely was fun, even if I gave up pretty early.

January 2025 Wrap-Up
Look at me, updating twice in the same year! Maybe 2025 is the year that blogging sticks. One can hope! In any case, January 2025 was something of a lackluster month, in terms of both reading and writing. Back in 2023, to ease some of the stress I was putting on myself regarding my writing (and oh, that’s a blog post in and of itself; possibly a whole series!), I brought my daily writing goal…
black and white
something something keema, jun, and the third terror, all boys that were never taught any way of interaction other than violence (keema and jun playfighting, jun offering to let the fisherwoman(?) kill him after he's done his quest, the third terror killing that entire village for keema), the only difference being how much kindness they each received and the point at which they received godlike power
Tana French really just picks the least likeable character from each book and writes the next book from their POV, and every time you think you're going to hate it, but it's FUCKING BRILLIANT.
