Hello everyone, I’m back! After a WILD first week of September, I’ve decided to relaunch my substack as a more focused newsletter. So…
Welcome to Read This/Play That!
Read This/Play That is a recommendation newsletter that will (hopefully) be delivered twice monthly. It compares a book (usually genre, sometimes not) to a bunch of small/indie tabletop games. Twitter Onlines might recall that I wrote a few of these for Tor.com!
I’m likely still going to be writing longer roundups on TDC, but RT/PT will generally focus on a single book rather than a group of books with similar themes. My first post is below.
New here?
I’m going to try to publish this substack on the 15th and 30th of the month, starting this month. My first roundup will be out on Sept. 15th, and will have indie recs for the Chinese historical fantasy YA, IRON WIDOW by Xiran Jay Zhao. The 30th will have a list dedicated to SUMMER SONS, the queer, haunted southern gothic by Lee Mandelo.
Know a book you want me to make a list for?
