Ah... huh. I apparently have quite a few books I've read that I've reviewed but have not archived those thoughts here. (I tend to write book reviews on Tumblr first because I read very slowly and take notes as I go, and Tumblr's drafts are just much better for doing that.) Also, I finished one of the arts I promised I would do in February (a couple of days late shhh), and so now I can use it in this post. I'm not going to include book club books in this round-up -- I'll save them for another time.

( Enchantment (1999) by Orson Scott Card )
( The Infinite and the Divine (2020) by Robert Rath )
( Anthropology (2000) by Dan Rhodes )
( The Big Game (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, #4) (1993) by Sandy Schofield )

Basically, I got a library card earlier this year, which has really helped remind me of the existence of books I mean to read and help me secure a copy of them, and also motivate me to finish them in a somewhat timely manner (I am very deadline-motivated). So here's a dump of thoughts I wrote up on various books I've finished this year.

Reviews contained in this post:
1) Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Prophecy and Change (2003) ed. Marco Palmieri
2) Terciel and Elinor (2021),
3) To Hold the Bridge: Tales from the Old Kingdom and Beyond (2015),
4) and Newt's Emerald (2015) by Garth Nix
5) The Once and Future King (1958) by T. H. White

Books I started reading this year but haven't finished yet:
- I resumed reading Scott Pilgrim, which was a comic I was reading back in Pittsburgh. But I am delaying picking this up again until I finish with Fire and Blood.
- I also have paused reading The Body Keeps the Score until I am done with my fiction books.

I bought this book because of JessKo's recommendation of its Quodo short story, which is indeed great. This is a collection of short stories published shortly after DS9 ended, all set within canon (missing scenes/episodes) except for the one by Andrew J. Robinson at the end which seems to be a post-canon follow-up to A Stitch in Time. Here are my thoughts on the stories (mild spoilers for the general content of the book/premises of the individual stories):

Okay at last -- after maybe 4 or 5 years of reading this, I finally finished?! I suppose it's not that odd that this book took me so long to read given that it's kind of 4 novels in one, and this book was my bathroom reading book (meaning it had to be read in little pieces at a time). Only through dedication and perseverence did I manage to get through this one. And then I took like two months writing up this summary/review... /o\
