Book 43 of 2026: “The Merge” by Grace Walker. Interesting, intriguing, and shattering. A little too raw and of the moment to truly love, so let’s call it a high ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

The Merge by Grace Walker. A human face, eye closed, is mostly covered in smears of paint or light. The effect is as unsettling as you think.

Book 42 of 2026: “The Names” by @florenceknapp.bsky.social My word, what a debut. I’m so glad the book club found this one. I didn’t know it was a Sliding Doors (it says it on the back, but I try to go in as ignorant as possible), but that was far from the last delightful discovery. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“The Names” by Florence Knapp. A flower with three different blossoms sprouts before a blurry green landscape.
The blurb at top says “The extraordinary novel that asks:
Can a name change the course of a life?”
The blurb at bottom says “Profound… startlingly joyful.” from the Washington Post.

Don't worry, her name is weird too.

From Wikipedia:
Darlene Graham was born in 1964. Graham's mother died when she was twelve years old; her father died fifteen months later. After their deaths, Graham's brother, Lindsey, arranged for her to live with her aunt and uncle in Seneca, South Carolina. Prior to joining the Air Force, he adopted her. Lindsey taught her to spell her name as Darline. She graduated from the College of Charleston with a Bachelor of Science in sociology in 1989.

The couple, who died within a few days of each other, provided needed supplies, like socks and wet wipes, to people living on New York City's streets.

Normal people watching this: “That is so racist.” Me watching this: “WELL FUCKING OF COURSE.”

Extreme closeup showing that Marsha Blackburn’s campaign treasurer is Glenn “Kane” Jacobs, who is exactly the kind of “principled conservative” who has always been exactly as shitty and racist as the world around them allowed them to be.

The absolute Chotining in this moment.

John Roberts plainly does not want to go down as the Chief Justice under whom this Supreme Court became hopelessly divided, with the automatic 6–3, the automatic pro-conservative outcome. And he has gone out of his way to broker outcomes within the Court to wheel and deal.

Aren’t you describing politics?

Yeah, listen, don’t get me wrong,

Book 41 of 2026: "Saevus Corax Gets Away With Murder" by "K.J. Parker" (Tom Holt) (Corax Trilogy #3). Evoked the Engineer Trilogy so much that it almost felt like fanfic. Parker is very much in the "If you like this sort of thing, then this is the sort of thing you'll like" vein. I did. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

The cover of "Saevus Corak Gets Away With Murder" by K.J. Parker (actually Tom Holt). A yellow-brown full-face knight's helmet looks at the reader from behind the title, which is rendered in several different typefaces.

Book 40 of 2026: “A Trail Through Time” by @www.joditaylorbooks.com (St. Mary’s #4). I don’t know how she keeps getting away with having a huge climax in the middle of the book and then just doing it all again in the second half. I love this series more and more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

The cover of “A Trail Through Time” by Jodi Taylor. A clockface spirals into itself in the bottom half. The frozen Thames, with people and tents playing on the ice, is at the top half.

Book 39 of 2026: “All Hail Chaos” by @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social. Different enough from “Long Live Evil” that I can’t necessarily say it’s better, but… maybe my favorite middle-of-a-trilogy entry since “The Empire Strikes Back”. Can’t fucking wait for “Kill Your Darlings”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
