@RunalongWomble Howdy, Womble. I am now about halfway through the advance copy of In One Brief Moment All Eternity by the fabulous Elif Shafak, and wonderfully losing myself in her prose.

"No snakes are killed in this land, for whoever kills a snake commits a heinous crime and carries the shame of it all the days of their life. It is said that by this act they have cursed their ancestors and shamed them by killing their messenger."
This book, Chaka, is a dark fantasy, but it is a glimpse into the ways of life and belief systems of an African community before colonialism.

Looking for a #solarpunk book? Here's a review of The Blossoming of the Big Tree, the story of a grandma who coordinates the defense of her decentralized country when a colonizer invades.
“This was a very interesting novella. Science fiction that presents a new world always is… All in all: If Dilman Dila’s goal was to create an interesting and engaging world, then he definitely succeeded.” Limfic review.

Winding Up the Week #483
https://bookjotter.com/2026/09/05/winding-up-the-week-483/
In this week’s slightly shorter wind up I focus on books read and reviewed, keep up with a variety of literary anniversaries (including Read a New Book Month, National Read a Book Day, Roald Dahl Day and the birthdays of Alice Sebold, China Miéville and others) and call attention to fascinating features from across the Internet. #Bookstodon #AmReading #Books #BookReview #bookbloggers

I read the first volume of Tower Dungeon by Nihei yesterday. I was very much looking forward to this. One of my first Manga two decades ago was Nihei's Blame and it showed me how different this medium can be.
Tower Dungeon is a very impressive manga and an engaging read. Nihei gets to flex his architecture muscle again, but it's the creature designs and the mood that really steals the show here.
I'm not big into Dark Souls and the like, but this very much feels like a spin on the dark fantasy mood it strives for. Some slight humor sprinkled in but overall, this really hits the nail on its head.
Thankful that the German edition goes for a larger format as well. Nihei is one of those mangaka whose art really speaks to you once you have bigger panels.
