I...like worldbuilding.

EXTREMELY unlikely, sir.

If one believes in objectivity of good/bad taste, then your thoughtful commentary on film, fashion, and many other topics proves the quality of yours.

If one believes taste is personal, defined by whatever makes *you* happy, then the argument is further moot.

Whether Tipsy Bird, Swinging Bird, Tinsel Bird, and Hungry Bird are all the same little fellow I do not know.

But if you hazard a visit to the garret garden, be polite to the robins.

They remember things.

The wind was pushing the swing, and Robin was swinging with it, back and forth, a gentle little sway.

Perhaps that was why the bird wanted the swing in the first place, and was too eager for the fun to wait for me to wake up.

Whether I am Robin Friend or Robin Food we do not know…but yesterday the wind was up, singing in the trees, and I looked out at the same wooden swing to see a bright little spring Robin perched on the back in just the same place.

We may hope this is because I was involved in the rescue of one of their kind, when she found herself tangled in a bit of Christmas tree tinsel, hanging upside-down by the foot in a tree outside my window.

I called for a friend with a ladder and kept her company until it arrived.

Being familiar with birds of prey, I assumed the little bird believed sleeping bookmarkedone dead…and possibly delicious.

It flew away as soon as I woke up.

However, when feeling better, out enjoying the air, I observed several robins…observing me.

So apparently I never told the full story of the Robin Saga…

Once upon a time, a little bookmarkedone was quite sick and fell asleep on the wood swing behind the garret, cradling an empty cup that once held tea…

…and woke up to find a robin staring down from the back of the swing.

It’s an experience, to be sure. XD

This is NOT a recommendation, by the way.

I feel like the Lay of the Volsungs is a rite of passage for mythology nerds and anyone else will be...confused and possibly traumatized.

...I love it.

Book cryptid, seeing an opportunity to launch into oration about Tolkien's translation of the Lay of the Volsungs: 😃😃😃

My longsuffering friend, enduring my spontaneous lecture on Skaldic poetic meter at 10 p.m.: 🙂??

😂!!

Please keep spreading the word and helping my friend.

I know a lot of people need help right now. I know all of them are somebody's friend.

Just do what you can, as often as you can. Help whomever you're able in the ways you're able. Every kindness counts.

Thank you, gentlecreatures!

May I humbly suggest a short story? :D

She slid a note across the counter to the tailor, refusing to make eye contact. Would they refuse her order?

The tailor unfolded the paper, raising an eyebrow before nodding. "I see. What kind of pockets?"

She looked up, eyes bright with longing. "All of them."

YES :D

A dress, in a soft and swishy material that whispers and floats up at the hem, with sleeves that subtly lengthen and shorten as the seasons cycle, and embroidered birch branches and leaves that yellow in autumn and swell with buds in spring, and pockets generous enough for a book, a bread, a song.

Elf revolution woo!!

It doesn’t matter what you ask for. The Tailor will give you what you need.

The cloak is thick and warm and wooly, the same grey as the cold winter landscape around me as I hike through steep drifts of snow. But the lining is threaded with warm-colored scraps and golden thread, a secret map home.

How wonderful to discover there are genres out there even the most voracious readers haven't tapped into! :)

Oh, wow! Yes, I know Sekulin’s book is a fantasy Western, but it was the first of its kind I’d encountered. I didn’t know there were other books in the same unique category. Sounds like your list will be very useful for readers!

Is this a thing? I’d never read something in this subgenre before!

Song of the Sands (Book Review) Are you prepared for a completely new fantasy with the “angry girl x boy fighting his demons” dynamic from Daindreth’s Assassin, plot notes from The Return of the King, and the he…

It’s #BookReview day!

Prepare yourself for award-winning author Spencer Sekulin’s debut novel, a redemptive fantasy Western packed with dramatic gunfights, family bonds, blood sorcery, unexpected friendships, and marigolds.

Definitely one of my most anticipated books of 2026.

Also Beka has one of my favorite short stories available for free if you subscribe to her newsletter!

*tiny ominous wizard whispers* do it

Answering interview questions turns out to be a lot harder than writing them!

But all the thank-yous to Beka for hosting celani mori’s very first interview and for the chance to talk about all the nerdy musical things. 🥰
