Hanging below the sea, I'm telling you, look at me

In ongoing book birthday news, Bogi Takács has wonderful things to say about Forget the Sleepless Shores at Bogi Reads the World:

There is a gentle and careful attention to detail in every story. Like Milkweed is a bit more science fictional than the rest, with the monarch butterfly migration somehow becoming a migration of strange alien creatures – but here you can tell that Sonya Taaffe not only knows about weird Jewish demonology and New England landscapes, but also about monarch butterflies and I imagine basically everything she chooses to write about. (Let me tie this back to The Trinitite Golem, where the same detail is spent on the history of the atomic bomb.)

Plus [personal profile] handful_ofdust tagged me some delightful fanart for Newt Geiszler/Hermann Gottlieb, which is book-unrelated but makes me happy.

It is murderously hot outside, but I feel very sea-supported.
