@DevaneEmily Its lovely to see. And a great list - glad I've squirrelled away

[Max Sydney Smith @maxsydneysmith]

Some great novella recommendations in this thread, which possibly goes beyond novella length itself

Who loves novellas, and which ones are your favourites? I'm compiling a list for a thing and it's gotten out of hand... (I am no good at lists).

[lake micah @afrofatalism]

we need a word for when clothes you rely on to feel stylish or whatever suddenly lose their power, so that when you wear them again you feel as if a disgraced aristocrat now made to work the bazaar fruit or fish stand, in what he hopes is quiet anonymity and not recognizable ruin

I, Nerd by @maxsydneysmith published by the magical folks @OpenPenLondon was a thoroughly enjoyable read. A loving, fond eye is cast over a motley crew of misfits in such caring fashion; their sorrows & triumphs become our own. Pick this up now: be you Halfling, Elf or Human.
