Today’s review is for ‘The Other Merlin’ by Robin Schneider!
A fun and fast paced story perfect for fans of the TV show Merlin! crooksbooks.blog/2026/03/02/t...
I've got a review of the excellent space horror The Iron Garden Sutra by AD Sui, out now from Erewhon Books. It's a weird little queer book full of unexpected choices.

Lilly might be at Norwescon (since is in her back yard), and I’ll be at Jordan Con! Looking forward to saying hello :)
Happy Sunday, Womble! I’ve started Hell or High Winter by Andrew Rubin, which bills itself as “Percy Jackson for adults, or The Magicians for mythology fans”
I definitely will!
Congratulations!!!
I am considering attending, would love to say hello in person if I do make it!

We make a point of not reposting substack articles, but this is an important enough post about the social movements behind Capital R Romance, plus the most recent attempt at book banning, that we’re reposting anyway. It’s worth a read
We really appreciated the rec (and your support)!
And even if we skip some of the physics, we still appreciate the inclusion 😂
