Title: Shadows of Old Town by T. Olsen
Genre: Fantasy, Mystery, Heist
Age Category: Adult
Format: Paperback/Ebook
Length: 370 Pages
Publication Date: March 28, 2024

About the Book:

Legend says there was once a labyrinth where the city of Sangarie now stands. Each year on the Night of Shadows the populace stays inside while gateways to the labyrinth appear in the streets, and shadows wait to devour the brave, or the foolish. Gray was both, and it still haunts him.

He deals with his nightmares through sarcasm and overconfidence, and has risen in the ranks of the criminal guild to wrangle the most unruly district in the city: Old Town. He cheats at dice, drinks too much, and flirts as naturally as he breathes. When he finds the body of a fellow guild member, rumors spread that he’s the killer and he does what he does best—ignores authority and tries to handle it himself.

His investigations leave him on the run from both the guild and the guards, and he’s blackmailed into one last heist. One that will plunge him into the bowels of urban legend and force him to face his own traumatic past. The city’s future depends on the wit and bluster of the greatest thief ever to run across its rooftops, but can he survive the labyrinth a second time?

Title: Strangers in Our Heads by Bri Eberhart
Genre: Fantasy, Contemporary Fantasy
Age Category: Young Adult
Format: Hardcover/Paperback/Ebook
Length: 350 Pages
Publication Date: November 6, 2023

About the Book:

Gemma, a seventeen-year-old orphan and empath, wants nothing more than to be normal. But after her older sister is killed in a hit-and-run, she discovers she can drain the energy out of any living thing. Fearing she might hurt someone with the faintest touch, Gemma flees from her foster home—guided by a boy she’s dreamed about for years but doesn’t believe is real.

Meanwhile, Theo, the eighteen-year-old astral-projecting leader of a ragtag group of magical misfits, is doing everything he can to protect his found family after he failed to keep his little sister alive. From rummaging through dumpsters for food, stealing from convenience stores, and throwing punches in illegal fighting rings for extra cash, there’s nothing he won’t do to keep the crew safe from the Authorities who are hunting kids like them.

When Gemma shows up in Theo’s world, their dreams become a shocking reality. The problem is that neither thought the other truly existed. Now they have to learn how to trust each other in person, as much as they had in their fantasies, if they want their secrets to remain hidden. What’s worse, Theo didn’t guide her there. Instead, a vengeful entity hell-bent on stealing Gemma’s powers did. She and Theo must work through their grief to banish him or risk losing each other for good. But doing so won’t be easy when kids with powers are being hunted by something far, far worse than a ghost.

In a cruel, contemporary world, can a handful of teens rely on one another to beat the odds?

WWW Wednesday—November 6, 2025

By HCNewton

On November 5, 2025

In Books, Currently Reading, News/Misc., WWW Wednesday

Yeah, I’m running late…sleep has been too attractive this week, and the blog is suffering. No promises that I’ll turn it around this week, but one can hope.

This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived on Taking on a World of Words—and shown to me by Aurore-Anne-Chehoke at Diary-of-a-black-city-girl.

The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

Seems easy enough, right? Let’s take a peek at this week’s answers:

What are you currently reading?


Love the Stranger by Michael Sears	Songs for Other People’s Weddings by David Levithan with songs by Jens Lekman, read by Jefferson Mays

I’m having a lot of fun with Sears’ follow up to Tower of Babel–which came out in paperback yesterday. I’m a little annoyed at myself for missing the hardcover release last year, but am glad I’m catching up now.

I’m not that far in Songs, but it’s good to be back in a world Levithan created.

What did you recently finish reading?


The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison	Small Favor by Jim Butcher, read by James Marsters

I don’t think I can put my thoughts about The Goblin Emporer into a pithy sentence or even paragraph. I hated to finish it, I just wasn’t ready to leave that book.

At a certain point, I did actually remember everything that happens in Small Favor and then spent hours trying to talk myself out of it, as if I could convince the audio to change and several events not happen until another book, so I didn’t have to listen. I’m not sure that makes sense.

What do you think you’ll read next?


Second Lies the Son by Matt Phillips	What If…Kitty Pryde Stole the Phoenix Force? by Rebecca Podos

All I needed to see was “by Matt Phillips” to jump on this ARC. Can’t wait to learn what it’s about.

Kitty Pryde and Phoenix force? ‘Nuff said.

What’s been grabbing your attention lately?

Publication Date: March 15, 2024

About the Book:

The Free Lands; a far off fantastical world full of noble warriors, gallant heroes and gentle souls. Sprikit The Bard is precisely none of these things. However he’s not without his own unique qualities. He enjoys the simple things in life; song, merriment and (mostly) victimless swindles.

But this little Bard carries a secret. He has a mission to do, a promise to keep, as an elite force seeks to intercept him. The journey ahead is long and dangerous with hurdles aplenty; monstrous creatures, dastardly villains, laborious hikes and most of all – Sprikit himself.

But he’s not without allies, reluctant and disdainful as they are. Help is help at the end of the day, and By the Notes does he need it. The clock is ticking. The cavalry is coming. And Sprikit The Bard doesn’t know his arse from his elbow.

Bards love to tell tales of adventures, but will Sprikit last long enough to recount his own?

Saturday Miscellany—11/1/25

By HCNewton

On November 1, 2025

In Books, News/Misc., Saturday Miscellany

Odds ‘n ends about books and reading that caught my eye this week. You’ve probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:
bullet The Case for Whole Books: You can’t get better at reading until you care about a text.—Part advertisement for a new book, part critique of what Common Core has done to English classes, part argument for how things should be. All the kind of thing I could read about for hours.
bullet SoA calls for transparency around ‘unsung’ ghostwriters behind celebrity-authored children’s books—an overdue idea.
bullet Sounds like George R.R. Martin’s OpenAI suit is going pretty well for him—(and for other authors, too, but Martin’s name will bring more readers, I guess)
bullet The Infection is Coming…—AJ Calvin talks about the upcoming Kickstarter for The Book of Spores and the book in general.
bullet How to build a reading routine for fall that actually sticks—some good advice here
bullet Yeah, it’s November, but we can still talk about creepy/spooky reads, right? Like Sara Reads did in a few posts: Halloween.1, Halloween part 2., and Halloween part 3.
bullet The Womble has some, too, in: Tis the season of Terror!
bullet Captivating Characters of October—Once again, I’ve forgotten to get anything written for this particular blog party/linkup thing. So I’ll just point to the mothership.
bullet My Blogging Anniversary: The Seven Year Itch—The Witty & Sarcastic Book Club is 7?? (also, how is it only 7?). Regardless, congrats on the milestone!!

A Book-ish Related Podcast episode (or two) you might want to give a listen to:
bullet The Chronicles of Prydain – Fantasy’s Forgotten Epic —I haven’t watched this yet, but I really enjoyed Ezekat’s short video on Prydain, so I can’t wait to dive in. And you know me, this is one of those topics I have to share any think I stumble across that covers it.

To help talk about backlist titles (and just for fun), What Was I Talking About 10 Years Ago This Week?
bullet If I Fall, If I Die by Michael Christie
bullet Indexing: Reflections, Episode Six: Frostbite by Seanan McGuire
bullet Reflecting the Sky by S. J. Rozan
bullet The Unfortunate Decisions of Dahlia Moss by Max Wirestone
bullet And I mentioned the paperback release of The Burning Room by Michael Connelly

This Week’s New Releases that I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:
bullet Locks & Keys: A Fantasy Anthology by Bill Adams, Tom Bookbeard, L.M. Douglas, Bella Dunn, Dave Lawson, Sean O’Boyle, R.E. Sanders, R.A. Sandpiper, Alex Scheuermann, G.J. Terral—(at least) 8 banger short stories and 2 that are worth your time. Overall, a strong anthology (as I wrote recently)
bullet Supernatural Crimes Unit: NYPD by Keith R.A. DeCandido—I always enjoy time in DeCandido’s worlds, this “When a drug-dealing wizard dominates the city, only one squad can stop them”

About the Book:

Keselgraad. A city of iron and stone, rising from the mist-shrouded wasteland to pierce the pallid clouds. A colossal man-made mountain stretching a mile high, from the blood-stained alleyways of the Slums to the crystal-studded spire of the Church of the Mother, whose amethyst shards shine brighter than any star.

Keselgraad. Both a haven and a prison. There is no way in. No way out. For the city is under constant assault from an enemy that is as relentless as it is indomitable; a raging sea of churning white that encircles the crumbling walls in its cold embrace. Only the radiance of the Mother can stem the ravenous tide. Only the shield of her faith can keep her citizens safe.

But there is a secret hidden deep within the ancient, decrepit heart of Keselgraad. It is whispered in the darkness of the underground galleries. Scratched into the mud. Etched into the stone.

The crystals are failing.

Their light is dying.

And without their protection, the Mists will be free to enter Keselgraad. To gorge themselves on the flesh of a thousand helpless souls. To drain the life from every last living being; man, woman, and child.

Until the city becomes a tomb.
