If you ever wanted a version of Dionysus in Wisconsin that was short, set in 2010, and replaced most of the magic with discussions of philosophy, I've got a new short story out! It's free and full of whimsy (and existentialism). It's a slow burn, friends-to-lovers, dealing with depression, café AU version of DIW. You can find it on my website in both epub and pdf formats: [http://ehlupton.com/extras/](http://ehlupton.com/extras/) It's on Goodreads here: [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/214203425-dous](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/214203425-dous) [@bookstodon](https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon) [@romancelandia](https://a.gup.pe/u/romancelandia) [@romancebooks](https://lemm.ee/c/romancebooks) [#books](https://romancelandia.club/tags/books)

#WhatchaReading ? I found Level Up by Cathy Yardley a bit of a slog. She's reworked some of the same themes (career vs love, introversion vs isolation) in later books more successfully, and the geeky

    @willaful I am listening to the audiobook of On the Move by Oliver Sacks and reading Good-Bye to All That by Robert Graves, so I guess it's a memoir-heavy week for me. @romancebooks

    Just uploaded all my files to Amazon! If you like intrigue, libraries, philosophy, fighting demons or plant zombies, and overall a lot of plot to go with what might actually be kind of a gooey marshmallow center of a gay romance set against the backdrop of the late 1960s, you would like these.

    @willaful I have Matrix by Lauren Groff as an audiobook...three hours left. My book club is reading In the Event of Love by Courtney Kae, so I downloaded it, anyway...

    Might just reread We Could Be So Good.

    @willaful maybe I will look that up. As someone with face blindness, I'd like to see how it's portrayed. But then, it seems kind of variable, too. My experience seems much milder than, for example, what Oliver Sacks described in some of his interviews of sometimes not even recognizing himself in a mirror.

    I'm about halfway through The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics. I've also got The Ruin of a Rake as an audiobook, and while I'm not 100% blown away by the performance, it does draw out many of the very funny moments.
