Linkfest of the Plague God

You know what's not sexy? Snot monsters. *sniff* Not sexy at all.

*searches for Nurgle rule 34* I stand corrected.

I've been working on typing up a story between plagues, and some background efforts, which hasn't left much time for blogging. So instead of a treatise on the finer points of vampire hygiene, help yourself to a list of some quality reads I've been looking at lately.

Books

The Traitor Baru Cormorant, by Seth Dickinson: I've been rereading this to prepare for The Monster Baru Cormorant, which I'm now super late on starting, so hopefully I can finish this first book up soon. Still a very good fantasy story, with what remains a unique take on war, governance, and the evils of colonization.

I also flipped through How to Best Optimize Blog Posts for SEO, by Rachel Thompson. It's full of tips that look like they'd be a big help on the blog - I just have to find time to try them!

Blog Posts

Taco from Trello shared quite a few good reads in this week's newsletter. There's one that explains why you need to say 'no' at work sometimes, another that offers advice on why we keep switching productivity methods (guilty!), and a post about 'mental load', the scourge of assumed responsibilities.

Although it is worth noting we now have a Congressman who's into Bigfoot erotica. If you're reading this, Representative Riggleman, welcome! I'm sure I'll get to him eventually.

That's all for now. If you want more to read, check out my author page, and help me fight the menace of Amazon deleting reviews for no good reason.

See you next week!
