Well, today is my birthday and I have been whisked off to a magical adventure. Next week, I will review the game Replaced. Imagine being an AI suddenly downloaded into a human brain. What could you learn about humanity? I look forward to exploring this Cyberpunk thriller with you!
Interested in some Grim Dark Academia, with a side of elders still kicking ass and taking names? Try this one in for size!

It's been a busy week at The Library, and I have gotten behind on my review schedule. Next week, I will have a review of Daughter of Crows by Mark Lawrence, where a woman seeks justice for the death of her friends (and oh, boy, is this the vaguest description ever, on purpose!).

Would You Kindly Spill Your Blood? - Crisol: Theater of Idols by Vermila Studios
In an alternative 20th-century Spain, you play as Gabriel, a captain recruited by the Sun God to hunt down the God of Tides. Your enemies ar...
Next Wednesday, I make my triumphant return to my blogging with a review of Crisol: Theater of Idols.
Did you miss me?
15. Your Most Memorable Performance: When I took off my mask to reveal the scale prosthetic for my dragon act. I have NEVER heard such gasps or screams.
16. You Like Least About Performing: The sheer exhaustion and drop afterwards. Dealing with drag politics, and being an "old".
13. What Would You Like to be Remembered for: Having the emergency kit and the ability to keep people calm before performing. Also, the person who will help with untangling fishnets or reinforcing your wig.
14. Fav Costume: Landon Cider has always been an inspiration to me, same with Throb Zombie.
6. Favorite genre of music: Whatever suits my idea. I've done dark Southern Gothic, etc.
7. How Long In The Game: Only three years.
8. Favorite Character illusion: Jinx Monsoon?
9. City of Origin: San Diego, CA
10. Favorite Drag Show: I love me some dark, alt, monster creepy shows. Give me the rage and the weird.
11. Favorite Song to Perform: Believer by Imagine Dragon
12.Children: Not a one.
Stolen from J. V. Hampton Van-Sant (who if you haven't heard of, what are you doing wrong with your life?)
1. First Drag Name: Reed Faster (chosen by crowd sourcing, because I'm a former librarian and an avid reader)
2. Current Drag Name: Reed Faster
3. Drag parents: None, but... I would love some drag siblings.
4. First Drag Performance: 2023? I did a board game themed show as Professor Plum.
5. Home Stage: Anywhere I can perform, but I'm based in Nashville, TN
When I first started this book, I had no idea how much it was going to hit home, especially with complicated feelings around fathers. There are a lot of trigger warnings, especially around child abuse and body horror, but I recommend this one.
Bonus points for the author coming from a Jewish family. (When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy).
