• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

One of the Litopian guests (anyone remember who?) recommended this book by Su Bristow. It sounded right up my alley, so I read it and really enjoyed it. It’s an accessible read and fairly light, although I did struggle a bit with reconciling the original behavior of the protagonist when he first encounters the selkie. He moved toward redeeming himself by the end, to an extent, although I wasn’t able to forgive him. Still, it was a sweet story overall, cozy (for my standards anyway—full disclosure—I like dark). A slight magical realism vibe, but not overdone. And set in a Scottish fishing village, so loads of rugged gorgeousness, which set my pulse racing!
