First newsletter of 2026, and yes, it's about Heated Rivalry! buttondown.com/SHSenhaji/ar...

Oh nice! Our paths will likely cross at the next in-person event, then (thinking I'll apply to be a panelist next time too!) 😊

Finally (for now), rounding off with my Can*Con (@canconsffh.bsky.social) 2025 retrospective: buttondown.com/SHSenhaji/ar... So glad and grateful for the community I've found there, and for the amazing experiences year after year.

Fifth newsletter post: The Great British Bake Off, and my complicated feelings about it (I did in fact go back to it at some point, and I'm now on season 4). buttondown.com/SHSenhaji/ar...

Fourth newsletter post! A book review about the amazing graphic novel adaptation of Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce, the first book in the Song of the Lioness quartet. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to her books, highly recommend this adaptation! buttondown.com/SHSenhaji/ar...

Third newsletter post! Epic: The Musical, which I discovered almost a year ago. I also need to thank @kateerobert.com for their amazing and passionate social media posts about Epic: The Musical, which was what convinced me to give it a try in the first place! buttondown.com/SHSenhaji/ar...

Second newsletter post! Part 1 of 1 (so far), containing some of my thoughts on book recommendations - especially when they're recommended to you by someone else buttondown.com/SHSenhaji/ar...

none of these are DNFs, I just watched two episodes and forgot to go back because I wasn't in the right mood for them to grip me

In the spirit of starting fresh for 2026, I'm posting my remaining 2025 newsletters here, and I'll try to be better at posting here in the future. To start with: Murderbot show! Absolutely loved it, and I also got to talk about it on an amazing panel at Can*Con 2025! buttondown.com/SHSenhaji/ar...

‪My review for Hammajang Luck by @makana-yama.bsky.social for @strangehorizons.bsky.social, where I gush about the story and get a bit personal, is finally out! An emotional, poignant, and heist-filled story about one last job. The full review can be read at: strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

Hey, guess what else: Preorders are officially open for THE HOWLING DARK, my scifi fantasy novel about fugitive werewolf brothers on a perilous journey home across a post-apocalyptic landscape! 🐺🌓 PREORDER: amazon.com/dp/B0G1KFVKVM ADD ON GR/SG: thehowlingdark.carrd.co

I'm truly terrible at posting on social media... So here is me appearing briefly to mention my most recent newsletter post, a review of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab (which was absolutely amazing), before disappearing into the void once more: buttondown.com/SHSenhaji/ar...

I still need to write this a real review, but this was my favourite read of 2024! It is SO funny and charming, I love the romance, the awfulness of the horrible little gremlin MC, the gardening, the questing, and especially the godly pantheon and surrounding religion. HIGHLY recommend. It's lovely.

Just got to look at a near-final proof of the printed version of Love Letters: Reasons to Be Alive Issue #1. It goes out to backers at the end of Q1. What an absolutely glorious mail day that will be 🥰

I return to this—and her—so often, it's like a mantra. Originally a drawing by Dylan Meconis published on the Nib posted in 2018 when she passed. thenib.com/nothing-is-i... Quotes from her Nat'l Book Foundation speech in 2014: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2v7...

I read this the same day as I read @older.bsky.social's The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles, and that was a *fantastic* afternoon, so I highly recommend it. Also, I have just preordered the sequel to this -- A Drop of Corruption. I'm quite looking forward to it.

Ahhhh the end of my very frazzled week just got SO MUCH better: the Publishers Weekly review for Wooing the Witch Queen is out, and it is fabulous! www.publishersweekly.com/9781250359599 #romancelandia

Oops! Forgot to post last week's newsletter post on here. I'm probably not great at using social media... That's why I've chosen to write a newsletter instead, I guess 😆 In which I talk about agency, hope, and Batman: Wayne Family Adventures @starbite.bsky.social buttondown.com/SHSenhaji/ar...

Tabling at Atlas Brewing with some rad vendors.

I finished _Glass Houses_ by @madelineashby.bsky.social last night, and _The Mimicking of Known Successes_ by @older.bsky.social this afternoon. Very good SF mysteries both, but the protagonists couldn't be more different, and I have to admit that after Glass Houses, I needed a change.

This book recently won the World Fantasy Award AND the Ignyte Award. People (and some cats) seem to like it. You should own a copy. I know where you can procure one. @premeemohamed.com undertowpublications.com/shop/no-one-... We have an affordable eBook, as well!!

⚔️ FUNDED ⚔️ Thanks to both the day-1’s and the recent avalanche of support. We can’t wait to bring this book to y’all. ~2 more days to get in on this crowdfund. And submissions open until Jan 15th. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

I was luckily able to gush about how much I adored The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles by @older.bsky.social for Strange Horizons, where you can read the full review: strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/... @strangehorizons.bsky.social

Yes hello if you would enjoy reading a story about a female version of James Bond taking on a Lovecraftian death cult in 19th century London then you might like my most recent book, 'Easter Pinkerton and the Case of the Heretic Blood'. ... there's also a sword cane. books2read.com/u/ba6P0q

guess what you can now request on NetGalley? 🏰🌬️🍃 A PALACE NEAR THE WIND—April 8, 2025 @titanbooks.bsky.social www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book...

Hello Blue Sky: I post about politics a lot, but it is instrumental to understanding my tweets that I write romance novels. I write romance novels because I understand that hope is not a passive thing: it is an active practice that must be cultivated over time.

So, I decided to start a newsletter, to share some of the thoughts that ramble about in my brain, and I just wrote a reflection on my amazing Can*Con 2024. @canconsffh.bsky.social buttondown.com/SHSenhaji/ar...

Decided to finally take the plunge and sign up for the dreaded Social MediaTM... Hope to find some cool people to connect with, and a fun space to share my thoughts
