Currently reading: Patria by Laurence Blair 📚

This book is a revelation. I’ve now finished the first two chapters and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Such excellent writing - weaving together contemporary travel, politics, and a bold fresh historical perspective. And wit!

Read it.

Finished reading: Open Throat by Henry Hoke 📚

That was a lot. Starts strong, then a little strange, then devastating.

Finished reading: Artificial Condition by Martha Wells 📚

These are so taught and snappy I can feel the twang :)

Finished reading: The Mad Ship (The Liveship Traders, Book 2) by Robin Hobb 📚

This just keeps getting better!!

Finished reading: The Life to Come by E. M. Forster 📚

E. M. Forster’s short stories about love between men sadly unpublished in his lifetime.

Finished reading: Faithbreaker (The Fallen Gods Trilogy, Book 3) by Hannah Kaner 📚

An absolute marvel. A fantastic ending to a gripping series. Godkiller, Sunbring, Faithbreaker. Exceptional.

Finished reading: The Orb of Cairado by Katherine Addison 📚

Excellent short story set in the world of “The Goblin Emperor”. Academic murder mystery.

Finished reading: The Life to Come by E.M. Forster 📚

Interesting collection of short stories by E.M. Forster only published after his death. Significant coded homoerotic themes.

Finished reading: The Tomb of Dragons by Katherine Addison 📚🌈

I absolutely devoured this book. The latest (last?) book in the Cemeteries of Amalo series, brings a conclusion of sorts to the tale of Thara Celehar, a Witness for the Dead, and one of the most self-deprecating and adorable queer characters in fantasy for many years. Delightful and satisfying.
