June 2025 Books and Reading Notes

2025-07-012025-06-30 John Winkelman

June was a pretty good month for reading, considering the almost complete lack of free time, thanks to an intense work project and the arrival of summer with all of its related activities. I think the standout was Zig Zag Claybourne’s Breath, Warmth, and Dream, which was absolutely beautiful. I backed the Kickstarter campaign for book two of the trilogy, and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.

It was interesting to dive into Heavy Metal, which I first read in the early eighties, I think, when I was probably a little too young to be reading things which were DEFINITELY aimed at an older audience. The writing and artwork for this new generation of Heavy Metal compares quite favorably to the original run from more than forty years ago.
