Sci-fi author. Blogger. Weightlifter. Introvert. Meditator. Immigrant.


Beyond those labels, I'm the sort of person who tries to find the joy in every situation.

(Well, as long as that joy doesn't involve cats. I'm allergic to them. ;) )

Fertility is a gift.

I appreciated how much time the author spent exploring the many ways in which surrogacy can go wrong, particularly commercial surrogacy. This is a complex topic that can’t possibly be fully covered in a review, but there are many

Not every haunting is easy to resolve.

I loved the main paranormal storyline and thought it was well executed. It’s difficult to know how much to share about it in my review as the blurb skirted around the lore surrounding it and I don’t want to accid

Possession isn’t love.

I loved the fact that Galatea’s perspective was explored in this short story as the original included some pretty sexist ideas about how women are supposed to think and behave in order to be considered good members of a family.

Erin Morgenstern
“You’re not destined or chosen, I wish I could tell you that you were if that would make it easier, but it’s not true. You’re in the right place at the right time, and you care enough to do what needs to be done. Sometimes that’s enough.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

“It's one thing to be told about the world that was. It's another to see a piece of it.”
― Becky Chambers, A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

Michelle Obama
“If you choose to try to make a life with another person, you will live by that choice. You'd find yourself having to choose again and again to remain rather than run. It helps if you enter into a committed relationship prepared to work, ready to be humbled and willing to accept and even enjoy living in that in-between space, bouncing between the poles of beautiful and horrible, sometimes in the span of a single conversation, sometimes over the course of years. And inside of that choice and those years you'll almost certainly come to see that there is no such thing as a 50-50 balance, instead it will be like beads on an abacus, sliding back and forth, the maths rarely tidy, the equation never quite solved....”
― Michelle Obama, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times

Nelson Mandela
“It always seems impossible until it's done.”
― Nelson Mandela

W.E.B. Du Bois
“Children learn more from what you are than what you teach.”
