FFer Read of the Day: "Five Different Realities to Explore, and One to Avoid" by @breewernicke.bsky.social in @orionsbeltmagazine.bsky.social

My taste for reviews run toward those drawing a larger argument from the text, as well as those connecting the reviewer's experience to the text. We're all speaking from where we're at in the world, and I like to see how that contextualizes the review! Happy to see poetic and playful styles as well.
Send me your reviews!
And we're a volunteer team, but if you're interested in narrating (and have a pro setup), let me know -- particularly Global Majority folks!
Finally, a big thank you to our skilled Fiction & Art editor, @ashsmash.bsky.social for revamping Orion’s Belt website and for creating our new logo and the stunning artwork that is now our cover image! You can check out our new website here: www.orions-belt.net
✨Also starting this year, Orion’s Belt is expanding! We’ll be opening for reviews and launching a Podcast series featuring narrated stories and poems, followed by interviews with their authors!! Our wonderful Editor @jennahanchey.bsky.social will oversee both projects! 🎙🔥
