Despite my temptation to read nothing but romance novels for a month, the next most urgent thing after Hugo reading is actually my library books, which I've had since, uh, February and March, but are finally coming due after a long time-out of the library clock. Such as The Border Keeper, Kerstin Hall, 2019 fantasy novella. Dreamlike, mythic, some cool settings and imagery. The kind of story that really does not explain things but it mostly all hangs together by the end. I liked it.
