Is there a book review you've read/watched/listened to this year that convinced you to read a book? Positive or negative? As someone who reads a lot of reviews and decides what to read based on mostly the negative reviews, I'm curious!

Two sisters is a dangerous number. Two sisters can mean everything to each other–a best friend, a companion, the only other person who knows exactly what you mean. But childhood always ends and often that comes with a parting, a rupture. One sister leaves the other behind. Or they both leave. Or neither of them do, and yet things inevitably change anyway.

Mad Sisters of Esi is about what happens after that rupture. It’s about the force of sisterhood and longing and the lengths that we’ll go to fight our way back to something that feels like home.

Awhile back I asked people for their favorite space opera book/series and compiled the list on my blog. Is your favorite missing? 👀 🔗 ladybusiness.dreamwidth.org/2026/09/26/l...

More favorites from the duck stamp archive: this incredible piece which I know the judges won't vote for but that I want a print of ASAP. The scan doesn't do it justice; I've seen the painting on TikTok and it's incredible.

Thank you so very much once again to @spiritcitylofi.bsky.social , I got to design Know-it-Owl for their newest Magical Library DLC ~!! I hope you will check it out~!

A sheet of rough early concepts as well as the finished concept for Know it Owl, for the spirit city magical library dlc!
From the left there is a small guy with mustache sitting next to an owl with large feather "horns". Two Owls inspired by Einstein holding a pipe, and an owl wrapped up in a blanket top right.
Under them is a fancy gentleman, a four legged griffin inspired owl, a granny owl next to them with a sweater over her shoulders and a cup of tea. The next row contains three knight owls (the third of which is my favorite little short guy). And a couple round bookish fellows to the right of them!
The final row consists of more snowy owl shaped friends with small vests and closed eyes with small glasses, and one sassy lady who is tired of you. (sorry)
Finally on the far right side of the sheet there is the final design, created with help of Keith Ebank's revisions!

I haven't posted for two months, because things were hard and weird in ways I don't want to get into. We're so close to goal, though, so if you can share this update for the joy of the animal pictures, and get it to some new eyes, that'd be great! www.gofundme.com/f/help-coreo...

Two orange and white cats cuddle on a sofa covered with a blue fabric, and they're sitting on a human's fingers. One cat's little paws are in the human's hand.

White and cream tabby cat is snoozing on a ledge, with her back legs stretched out so that she looks VERY LONG and her feet look BIG.

Young green heron friend stands on a cottage roof and watches humans, who are probably messing about in boats, since this is obviously at the shore, with a boat and various decks in the background.

Orange and white cat in soft focus, curled up on a human lap with one front paw folded in front of her, and the other draped over the human's leg.
