The theme of my Winter 2024/25 Playlist may be…discordant? I suppose not all the songs are discordant, but I do feel like my playlists are becoming somewhat more deranged as the world continues to fall apart. You’re welcome?

In which I reread multiple books in order to better jump into their sequels. And then some.

Oops, I did it again. I fell behind on my reading blogs. Got lost in the game…of starting a new business and finishing my own book. Enough Britney—onto the reviews.

Grieve Leave recently published my essay about how the Swedish Satanic metal band Ghost helped me grieve my father’s death. Plus, I was nominated for Best of the Net!

I finished my Fall 2024 playlist at the beginning of October—I just haven’t had a chance to blog about it. Better do it now before autumn escapes entirely and we rush headlong into winter.

Recently The Conversation Project asked me to write a blog post about grief for them. And today that blog post is out in the world: “Laughing in the Face of Death: Joy as Coping Mechanism.”

And now, the post you’ve been waiting for: part two of the twenty books I’ve read since the last time I remembered to blog.

I have finished twenty books since I last blogged about my reading. Whoops. I shall now attempt to catch up in two, ten-book posts. I’ll keep the reviews short, for everyone’s sake.

Big news: I’ve been awarded an artist’s residency from the Kentucky Foundation for Women!

My Summer 2024 Playlist shreds. And in the rare moments it doesn’t shred, it boogies.
