pickJemisin can literally do no wrong in my eyes.
A short that discusses climate change, colonialism, racism, misogyny, poverty, and socialism in one fell swoop that is technically sci-if but also the fiction part could swiftly turn into nonfiction in the next few years if you catch my drift.

I‘ll get to more of my early-bird posts on Monday; but for now, I can share a real treasure that I just found the other day, at a Scotiabank book sale! 😍🎃 I wonder how I had never noticed this seemingly rare find, back in 1999! This book is fully illustrated, with all the best horror classic! Lots I‘m excited to share more about in October! 👻
pickCinderella has no wish to marry the prince. A college student is stuck at a university filled with vampires. A daughter of privilege wants to be left alone to study magic — a province traditionally for men only. And more. The stories vary in length from relatively short to novelettes. Either way, they are the perfect length for reading in a lunch break, on the way to work, or while relaxing just before bed. #fairytale #fantasy #shortstories
If you have a few minutes to spare, I really enjoyed this documentary video about Wharton. Insightful!
“A Lady Doesn‘t Write”

pickDefinitely one of my favorite reads. It wastes no time setting the tone. It‘s such a campy fun book. In a weird way it has a similar charm to “Murder She Wrote”, but if it was more about committing the crimes instead of solving them. I absolutely loved this book and am excited to read the next one.

Stevenson certainly writes good atmosphere. 🖤
so-soI chose this book for #TitlesAndTunes #DramaQueen because of its title but it doesn‘t fit the prompt at all 🤷🏻♀️ The drama is real in Segher‘s short story collection, which mostly is about nazism and the war.
In the title story, for example, a woman imagines herself with her old schoolmates on a class trip. She intersperses her descriptions of the children in the years before the war with the lives they grew up to endure. A tough read.
