Sometimes Wednesday cones late
Mar. 10th, 2018 03:40 amOn Wednesday I was at the hospital dealing with multiple bureaucratic screwups in what was supposed to be a straightforward process of having some tests done and talking to a doctor about them. I arrive home exhausted and promptly slept the rest of the day. And the day after. And mist of Friday, too. So Wednesday’s book post is happening today instead.
Depression hit me for a few days this week, too, so my reading was impacted in a not good way. I feel so unlike myself when I can’t get into a book. But I think it’s turning around, slowly.
Books completed this week:
Raven Stratagem, Yoon Ha Lee
The Art of Starving, Sam J. Miller
Sleeping with Monsters, Liz Bourke
Up Ghost River: a chief’s journey through the turbulent waters of Native history, Edward Metatawabin
Fonda Lee, Exo
Books in progress:
Shadowhouse Fall, Daniel José Older
Amberlough, Lara Elena Donnelly
Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty, Dorothy Roberts
Shorter Views: Queer Thoughts and the Politics of the Paraliterary, Samuel R. Delany
There Was a Country: A Personal History of Biafra, Chinua Achebe
Strangers from a Different Shore, Ronald Takaki
What’s up next:
Finishing the Hugo reading. After that, I’m not entirely sure. Reading Liz Bourke’s Sleeping with Monsters has given me some ideas, as the book includes essays about a fair few books that have been languishing in my TBR file for some time.
And of course, the Heinlein and Le Guin rereading projects.
Plus, I keep a little list of books that I hear about from various sources and the dates on which are being released. These are books that I feel I absolutely must acquire. The list is only a starting point, of course - I’m forever hearing about books after their publication that I would have put on the list if I’d known about them. This is how the TBR pile just keeps growing. There are a few books on this list from February I still don’t have, and there’s the list for March. I need to try to read these as I acquire them so the TBR list doesn’t get any longer. The February/March list:
Elizabeth Gillespie McRae, Mothers of Massive Resistance
Djamila Ibrahim, Things Are Good Now
Therese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries: A Memoir
Elizabeth Bear, Stone Mad
Nancy Kress, If Tomorrow Comes
Tomi Adeyemi, Children of Blood and Bone
