Hello peoples.
I'm looking for 2 books I can put in my next newsletter as Reading Recommendations.
I'm looking for 1 fantasy book and 1 science fiction book.
If you have something (preferably self-) published, let me know (title, buy link) please. If you're reading something awesome, also let me know, please.
All options will go in the magic hat and 2 will be drawn before the newsletter goes out (1st Saturday of next month).
The floor is yours!

Jedesmal wenn ich einen Roman von Le Guin beende, hab ich das Gefühl, anders herauszukommen. Als ob sich meine DNA verändert hätte.

The Gods are Watching (2025)
This image is about surveillance society in a roundabout way. It's about the fact that it feels like wherever you go, even if it is in the middle of nowhere, there they are, our overlords, watching.
I wanted to illustrate how the surveillance society is a bad idea, so that even a moron could understand.
Knowing morons well, I know that I have failed.

I forgot to do an #introductions post when I moved here, so here goes.
I am O. Westin, a #writer of #MicroFiction, mostly #ScienceFiction and #fantasy #fiction, and occasional #poetry. My stories are generally less than 280 characters long.
No set schedule, stories are written and posted when inspiration strikes.
I am LGBTQIA+ positive, and usually favour wholesome and hope over darkness and edgy nihilism.

This is an early drawing from when I was just starting out. It's called Planetary Landing (2019). Personally, I just like the "umbilical cord" and how it connects to her head. I also like the red sky. This was later the starting point for a different image which became the cover art for Jenova 7's album "Lost SciFi Movie Themes", which can be found here: https://jenova7.bandcamp.com/album/lost-sci-fi-movie-themes.

Just registered for Boskone 63!
Happening in February. I'm excited!
Hoping I get a bit more of that old time science convention "bookish" feel :)
ALIENS (1979)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 23” x 14”
The concept here is that the aliens and the lone human-—who is an alien to the others—are posing for a group photograph, with the photographer being out of view to the right. ¼

6 more days to apply for an Otherwise Fellowship!
Past fellows were glad it "gave me motivation to keep trying again and again" and "provided a validation both for my own work, and also for the idea that this type of writing is both valued and needed".
