morgan_dhuI continue to read. This is a good thing and makes me happy.
Books completed this week:
The Compleat Werewolf and Other Stories, Anthony Boucher
At The Dark End of the Street, Danielle L. McGuire
What It Means When A Man Falls from the Sky, Lesley Nneka Arimah
Weave a Circle Round, Kari Maaren
The Illegal, Lawrence Hill
The Tiger’s Daughter, K. Arsenault Rivera
Provenance, Ann Leckie
So You Want To Talk about Race, Ijeoma Oluo
Proof of Concept, Gwyneth Jones
Want, Cindy Pon
Books in progress:
Raven Stratagem, Yoon Ha Lee
The Art of Starving, Sam J. Miller
Sleeping with Monsters, Liz Bourke
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 next:
Still doing Hugo reading, mostly young adult novels and a few related works. A few more recommended novels - Lana Elena Donelly’s Amberlough, Mur Lafferty’s Six Wakes, Annalee Newitz’s Autonomous - if there’s time. I read about a hook a day, so theoretically I have time for 15 more books before I have to finalise my ballot. Some more short fiction, current and retro.
After that, some rereads, Heinlein and Le Guin.
And I think I’ll do some concerted work on reducing the length of my TBR list, which at last count ran to 18 pages, single-spaced. I have a lot of lovely books sitting on my ipad waiting to be read, and they keep writing new ones to add to the list.
