The sun was high and bright when Kai rode into Benais-arik in Bashasa’s wake, their cadres on horseback around them.

I finished a novel! It feels like it's been ten years! And it was so, so good! Feeling very happy about this, but have a lot to think about now.

love & other monsters by emily franklin

I got a review copy of this book from NetGalley quite awhile ago on somewhat of a whim. I've never read any of the works by any of the authors who make an ap...

#Bookstodon you are my only hope.

What is the best fantasy novel that you have read in 2025?

The book doesn't have to come from 2025, just one that you read last year.

Tell me a little about the book and why you liked it.

I am finishing up one of the books I am reading and am looking at the next to add to my rotation.

Thank you.

Boosts welcomed.

Next up in my book pile -- "#NoSpiritualSurrender - Indigenous #Anarchy" by #KleeBenally, (2023) "#PrairieFire - The Politics of Revolutionary #AntiImperialism" by #TheWeatherUnderground (1974), and "#Antifa - The #AntiFascist Handbook" by #MarkBray (2017).

I've posted excerpts from Klee's book in the past (which I will re-boost). Both Klee and Mark Bray are in agreement as to who the real enemy is -- the forces of #Colonialism and #WhiteSupremacy.

Bray writes, "The only long-term solution to the fascist menace is to undermine its pillar of strength in society grounded not only in white supremacy, but also in #ableism, #heteronormativity, #patriarchy, #nationalism, #transphobia, #ClassRule, and many others," (Antifa, page 209), and offers up #Socialism, which is #Antiauthoritarian and #NonHierarchical as a solution.

And indeed, 1974's Prairie Fire, paints a similar picture, offering up a map of North America before and after #Colonization. (And yes, I would love to scan in all the illustrations and tables, but unfortunately, the 1974 copy is well-read and very delicate. It belonged to a coven-mate and fellow activist friend, who left it to me when they passed away -- along with a slew of other radical and pagan books). I did find some archived versions, sans illustrations, online.
