It's good, definitely more slow burn and the Folklore element is very interesting.

Watching the new RHAP, and the fact it's only 26 minutes long says a lot of how cooked this season is. Lauran is a coward. If you are going to put up an alternative nom OWN IT. The only upside in the jury house that if Keanu ends up going to jury we get footage of Rachel telling him I told you so.

What Litfic have you been reading? I haven't encountered this and litfic is one of my most read genres. Did you happen to read one bad book and decided to make a sweeping generalization?

Charlie Stross @cstross.bsky.social · Sep 7

I want to popularize a term of art for this particular litfic genre trope: the Sad Boner Professor.

It's a novel about a Professor (usually of American Literature). He is Sad. Also, he has a Boner. His boner is inordinately interested in the sexy, sexy student: also, he's sad because: wife.

This is an excellent review. I also did not have a good time reading this. The concept was so cool too so really disappointing 😮‍💨

WHEW this book was Not For Me

A Non-Comprehensive List of Things John Wiswell’s Wearing the Lion Doesn't Care About - Reading the End

Wearing the Lion insists on forcing every single plot element into the Procrustean bed of its thesis: monsters aren’t so bad if you are just kind to them.

I did not have good time when I read it. It was such a interesting idea that fell so flat.

Brittany @bookishbrittany.bsky.social · Aug 6

Thr Long Way From a Small Angry Planet and the rest of the Wayfarer series should have been number one.
How to Steal a Galaxy
Murderbot
Of Monsters and Mainframes
The Sea of Tranquility
Overgrowth.

I think I know what's going on now, I am about 50% of the way through now, so there is no something and then I will watch the House Salt stream when they read last year to hopefully make sense of somethings.

Brittany @bookishbrittany.bsky.social · Feb 24

Currently listening to The Spear Cuts Through Water, the writing is excellent, but I have no idea whats going on yet also having a good time?🤣

Reviewing my custom stats( Thank you
@thestorygraph.com), I've realized I don't really use KU so I cancelled my subscription. I would rather promote and hype Boox and Kobo instead of feeding into the the Amazon Ecosystem.

Currently Me, this is the ONE TIME as a Canucks Fan I want to see Marchand absolutely goon out on Miller and Tkachuck Brothers. I want to see Canada walk away with the win and idk, maybe Europe and Canada should start their own hockey league. Just a thought.

I have so much reading to do, and I'm behind on ARC's so naturally I start playing BG3 after my toddler has gone to bed.😂

But if you are looking for Dystopian by Canadian and Indigenous authors I recommend Gutter Child by Jael Richardson and The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline instead.

Brittany @bookishbrittany.bsky.social · Feb 19

I'm loving all this renewed excitement for CanLit, but we can keep this conversation without mentioned Margaret Atwood. I am hoping to make a video about this and provide some alternative recommendations.

Brittany @bookishbrittany.bsky.social · Feb 13

I'm listening to Bitter by Awaeke Emezi and as we continue to discuss and recommend books that should be purchased and read due to threat of being banned. I would absolutely include Bitter in that and it's sequel Pet. These are must reads for High School imo.

Brittany @bookishbrittany.bsky.social · Feb 13

Also glad I'm reading with my eyeballs instead of listening to the audiobook like the first book, because it really killed my full enjoyment of the story.

Brittany @bookishbrittany.bsky.social · Feb 13

Currently Reading Cursebound and bless Saara El-Arifi for providing a summary to the first book. It was a big help.

When I convened the panels for a podcast series about books, we had little inkling of the storm to come. The current storm is one in a long history of US attacks on dissent through regulation of free speech, which includes your right to hear and read.

Can't think of a better time to publish this.
