Anthology of the Killer!! Haven't finished it yet but I've found it a treat so far, looking forward to seeing your take on it.
A harsh but entertaining review of Furia. I felt bad for the author, read the first half of the first chapter, and sadly could no longer muster the sympathy.
I'm blown away that 'Speaking In Tongues' managed to get a starred review! I figured there was a better than even chance that you'd hate it haha, and I really appreciate you taking the chance on it! I hope you also enjoy the rest of the series if/when you get to it.
[If/when you do, I kinda recommend skipping the Reinhard half (books that start with "L") because I'm imminently (this summer, fingers crossed) planning to rewrite them. And skip 'Taking Without Speaking'-- it's a rewrite of Speaking In Tongues from the other perspective, with minimal new content. Unless you're desperate for mentally ill Reuenthal monologue, in which case, go for it lol.]
I'm glad you had a good January :] It seems like a redemption after a few bad months-- an auspicious portent for the year ahead I hope.
You got me with that "last monthly review post I'll ever write", bastard.
Anyways, if you like puzzle games about rule discovery, maybe check out 'Understand' and 'Insight', both on steam, both fairly small and minimalist rule discovery puzzle games. They're more pure puzzlers than The Witness or Dragonsweeper or whatever, but I still got some decent enjoyment out of them.

From the author of The Library Unpublished: I quite liked On the Continuity of Consciousness (though it's very ymmv) and short story Immortem (https://archiveofourown.org/works/9829580/chapters/22071191, https://vi-fi.github.io/Immortem.html)
Already read Continuity ages ago, but didn't know about the short story, thanks!
