Welcome to Litsy!

Bookish math: time to kill yesterday + proximity to used bookstore + store credit = #bookhaul!

So let's see here...
Jan 1: I'm going to focus on my owned books this year!
Jan 5: currently reading 4 books, 3 from library and 1 owned. Bought 2 new books.

Am I winning? I think I'm winning. 🙃

Day alone Book haul part 2. #mountTBR

Being straight, I haven‘t read that many books that fit in the #LGBTQ+Reads category, but the ones I have I‘d highly recommend to anyone. They‘re not about the character's sexual orientation. It's just the way things are.
Ammonite was read while a member of a Feminist SF, Fantasy & Utopian Lit Book Club back in the 90s. It is an all-time favorite.
Slow River, by the same author is a Lambda Prize winner.
Read "Letters..." recently.

Gave up on this one :/. I wanted to like it, and it's not *bad* though it has a lot of first book flaws, but just not getting into the story or caring about the characters. DNF at 37%.

Strange colony world that's been out of contact for hundreds of years, deadly virus, a world populated with only women... I am IN. My plan was to read all horror for Halloween but I like to read multiple books at a time and reeeeally prefer if they are different genres so I'll be starting off October with a classic horror, sf, and political memoir.

Oh, I liked this one! I wish there had been more about Company and the society Marghe came from, but overall very good. The world was interesting and I loved some of the characters.

It seems to be taking me a long time to learn as well.

#booktober day 10: #Outofthisworld. Today I wanted to feature some speculative fiction books with strong female characters that I've adored recently. The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet is a fun character-driven read that happens to be set in space. Ammonite is set on a planet on w a virus lurks - it kills men. The star of Ascension is a female sky surgeon who repairs ships. Seveneves is written by a man but women are the 🔑 to survival
