A+ #BookReview: A Mouthful of Dust by Nghi Vo My Review: Cleric Chih’s Singing Hills Abbey is not precisely an archive of history. Not that it isn’t an archive, and not that it doesn’t preserve history. But it’s not a historical archive in the sense that we think of one. It’s not a place that stores original documents in an attempt to record history without bias or interpretation. The Singing Hills Abbey, and its collection, exists at the intersection of “we make gods in our own image” and “fiction is the lie that tells the truth”.

The cover of fantasy novella Mammoths at the Gates, by Nghi Vo, says "Hugo Award-Winning Series!" and "A remarkable accomplisment." --NPR on The Empress of Salt and Fortune." (Empress, by the way, is the first book of 5 so far, and the 6th comes out in October 2025.) Cover illustration shows two hoopoe birds perched on the tusks of two mammoths, peering in at the nest of a third hoopoe, which nest is in the mouth of a gargoyle shaped like maybe a dragon's face, atop gates, and at the foot of the gates are two mirrored still-life arrangements of a candle, a vase with two chysanthemums, and a steaming bowl of soup on a plate.

For February fun, A-Cover-A-Day (well almost) of books I love, that's (almost) all. #MammothsAtTheGate #SingingHillsCycle #MightVersusWisdom #TalkingHoopoe #BirdSky #Fantasy #ShortPerfectNovels #BookSky #IncidentallyQueer I woulda posted all 5 covers- love them all- the 6th is coming in October. 📚💙
