![]() Those 2 weeks are going to be great, and I’m hoping I’ll be able to get through a lot of these books. I’m so incredibly excited about this readathon and looking at my TBR, I kind of want to start right this second. Daybreak Rising is a unique read filled with rich world-building, modern diversity, and a fresh take on political struggles. I also want to listen to an audiobook so either one of Malinda Lo’s books or Echo after Echo is also for sure going to be read. There are only a few books that I’m for sure going to read: Winterglass, because it’s an ARC, The Love Song of Sawyer Bell, also because it’s an ARC (yes, I’m late, I know) and because my friend Min hyped it up so much that I can’t wait to read it, and The Edge of the Abyss, because I’m buddyreading it with Min.

Yet he will not accept bribes, be overpowered by a former friend, now a Westernized official-Koomson, of the glittering wife, the appliance-filled apartment. Just as oppressive, however, are the new rulers of the country-""black (men) trying at all points to be the dark ghost of Europeans,"" men whose flight away from blackness into whiteness can only mean that their power comes from ""white masters."" The anonymous narrator, a railroad clerk, sadly contemplates the materialistic yearnings of his wife and his termagant mother-in-law. The exploitative, crushing rule of the white colonists is ever a fresh memory-the house on the hill from which little African boys were routed by dogs and weapons. This young Ghanian author has caught the vanishing ends of two worlds in a bitter, acerbic novel of one man's spiritual trials in a new West African nation. ![]() In the groping stretch between colonialism and a strong national identity one of the natural attitudes is a sour malaise. ![]() ![]() ![]() The aliens are VERY alien despite cover image. It has several follow up books that are also excellent, but first one stands alone. Please forgive the book and give it a chance.Ĭlaimings, Tails, and Other Alien Artifacts by Lyn GalaĪ favorite comfort read of mine. I promise the words inside are so much better than many of these covers make them seem. One of my reasons for reading sci-fi is enjoying a really well developed alien culture, so I only chose ones that satisfy that particular criteria. I also left off books where the aliens aren’t really alien ~ as in they are just bigger than us and green, or what have you. Books like Ascension, while critically acclaimed, are too dark for me. We are back to that culture conflict thing that I love so much.Īs always I lean towards lighter stuff, which is why finding f/f was a challenge. Not that I don’t read that, it’s just I enjoy it when the alien-ness is an integral part of the plot and relationship. I’ve chosen human/alien pairings, like my book. Please remember one of my fav tropes is also culture conflict, and sci-fi is the perfect space for exploring that. ![]() Queer sci-fi is a tiny niche in romance but it is one I happen to love. ![]() OK, how about recommending something to tide me over? ![]() Miss Gail, you cry, The 5th Gender was like my FAVORITE new thing. ![]() ![]() However, the fan base steadily declined and the critics attributed it to the show being, “relentlessly bleak, mean, and downright sadistic at nearly every turn”. Those who have read the book, or seen the film, must be aware that the plot is about an eerie mist that mysteriously rolls into town, and soon the people are forced to confront that there might be terrifying monsters in it, and they have to face them, while fighting not just for their lives, but their sanity as well.

The idea for The Baby-Sitters Club series originated with Jean Feiwel, an editor at Scholastic who saw the popularity of a novel called Katie's Babysitting Job and realized there was a market for novels about babysitting.
