Kristenelle - SFF Reader | 2021 May Journal #2 @KristenelleSFFReader | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
I talk about what I read this past week, AAPI month, my experience shopping at Barnes and Noble, discuss the novelette I read this week - "Helicopter Story" by Isabel Fall, and announce next week's novelette - "Two Truths and a Lie" by Sarah Pinsker. (Also, it was a super rainy day and you can kind of hear the rain in the background. 😊🌧)

Most novelettes are available to read for free online. Here are links:
