Book Review: Skylark in the Fog by Helyna L. Clove
So when the universe falls to pieces, it doesn’t mean your life has to, right? That comes later. Jeane Blake, captain of the spaceship Skylark, makes her living by looting dead worlds, planets fallen prey to naturally occurring wormhole-like rifts plaguing the cosmos. She survives the only way she knows avoiding commitment and arguing with her dead foster father's ghost. But when her crew stumbles upon an alien device that could collapse the wormhole network and wipe out all sentient life, they catch the hungry eyes of the Union, a tyrannical empire hunting the sinister tech. As she flees the Union’s brainwashed agents, Jeane is forced to take on a shady mission and gets stuck assisting the runaway monarch of a technocrat planet. Queen Maura Tholis is seeking the aid of an interstellar resistance to reclaim her war-torn world, with another trouble-magnet device as her bargaining a glove that allows her to command AI systems. Jeane couldn’t care less about the whole deal, but things become personal when the Union annexes the place she calls home. And it might be her fault. Reluctant to become weapons in the hands of power-hungry militants and desperate rebels, smuggler and queen join forces. But to save their homes, they must redefine themselves, work with the enemy, and face personal traumas they’d buried long ago—and only stars know which challenge might break them in the end.

The Best, The Worst, & Everything In Between
2024 in my books could be defined as: a circus in need of a dictionary. But despite all of that I still managed to read 45 books! After last year, when I surpassed my reading goal in June, I said that I was going to try and read bigger (longer) books this year to, in a way, slow myself down. Did I really read bigger books? Not really. Did it slow me down? Also no, not really. But I read some big books, I read some small books; I loved a few books, and hated some others. Without further ado, my 2024 reading wrap-up.

Book Review: Glunda The Veg Witch by Keith W. Dickinson
“A witch’s boots told the story of her life. They showed you where she’d been, where she was going, and what kind of a witch she would be when she got there. And, most importantly, they were proof that said witch was not someone to be trifled with. She was to be listened to, and obeyed, and yes sometimes even feared, because her wisdom was hard earned and her wrath swift and mighty. They would have to be, for her to have lived in such boots for so many a year. No one trusted a witch in brand new boots, and rightly so as far as Glunda was concerned.” Glunda Ashwillow is on top of the world. About to become head witch, and the youngest ever Guardian of the Golden Key, the only thing standing in her way is her old enemy, the Drupe Mages. They have the key, and they're not willing to give it up without a fight. With a coven of quarrelsome witches to contend with, and a fief full of farmers on the verge of revolt, can Glunda beat the mages and get the key before she runs out of veg? Or is there a cold, hard, carrot-less winter ahead for all concerned? A tale of heroism and hotpots, Glunda The Veg Witch is a fun fantasy adventure everyone can enjoy.

What I Learned from Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Reading Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World was a transformative experience that offered profound insights into society, technology, and human nature. Published in 1932, the novel paints a dystopian picture of a world where individuality and free will are suppressed to maintain stability and happiness. Its vivid portrayal of a society ruled by consumerism and control challenged my worldview and inspired me to reflect deeply on the values that shape our own lives. Here are the key lessons I’ve taken away from this timeless work, along with how they resonate with our world today.
