I've requested that my library purchase it, and I might get it for myself too...congrats on it! I'm excited to read it, especially as I use the SFF book club that I run as an excuse to discuss texts for my SFF courses!

With a title quoting Emily Dickinson, a lot of poetry is what I want! 🔥 I hope you like it - I just finished it yesterday, and I think that it is in my top books of the year so far!

It also has a chapter which excerpts, at length, a lecture on Milton...anyway, I'm really enjoying this book!

Hampsterdance started as a friendly bet between Canadian artist Deidre LaCarte and her sister. She made a page of animated hamsters set to a chipmunked loop of Whistle Stop from Disney’s Robin Hood (1973). Within months, it took over inboxes & office desktops.
Today, it's gone from the live web.

Hild, by Nicola Griffith, is a retelling of the life of Hilda of Whitby, and the prose is just so good. She wrote in different styles depending which language Hild is thinking in at the moment.

I recommend both CrossCode and Tunic for both aesthetic and gameplay style! Writing is pretty solid, but really it's the puzzles that warm my little Zelda-loving heart. And, if iirc, they have difficulty settings to make the game more accessible! (And both are longer!)
