The Two Doctors Górski is a dazzling contemporary fantasy and an exploration of reclaiming personal power in the aftermath of abuse by Lambda Award-winning author Isaac Fellman "Confident and lyrical."—Caitlin Starling A Most Anticipated Pick for Buzzfeed Annae, a brilliant graduate student in psychiatric magic and survivor of academic abuse, can’t stop reading people’s minds. This is how she protects herself, by using her abilities to know exactly how her colleagues view her. This is how she escapes the torturous experience of her own existence. When Annae moves to England to rebuild her life and finish her studies under the seminal magician Marec Górski—infamous for bringing to life a homunculus made from his unwanted better self—she sees, inside his head, a man who is both a destructive force to everyone around him, and her mirror image. For Annae to survive, she’ll need to break free of a lifetime of conditioning to embody her own self and forge her own path. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Beautiful writing, insights, and a unique magical conceit in this meandering novel that mostly takes place in people's minds -- literally, in that Annae is a mind reader who can't bear to be alone. She moves to the UK to finish her PhD in magic after having been emotionally abused and sabotaged by her former supervisor/boyfriend. The title refers to the magical feat of splitting yourself into 2 people to excise aspects of yourself you don't want.

I was hesitant to start this one because I had, uh, a bad time in grad school, but I'm enjoying it so far. The bad time is different enough to not set off my decade old stress signals.

I like to start my morning with a book, so this morning it was an advance copy of this. I'm going slower with it than I expected, it's quite dense, but I'm pretty intrigued.

Also look! I liiiiive. The burnout has been a whole thing, and I got sick too.

I didn't get a line on #BookSpinBingo last month, and I haven't even made a list for #BookSpin this month. I should do that, because I've had a perfect run on #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin at least...
