What are you currently reading? Any upcoming books you're excited for?

I am struggling to read Fantasticland. I have a couple books on hold on Libby. Slewfoot and Episode Thirteen. The libraries I have access to have gotten several horror novels I've wanted to read for a while.

Slewfoot has been on my list for a while now. Hope it's worth the wait!

Fantasticland sounds like a story I'd like. Is it not as interesting as the premise makes it seem?

I just didn't expect it to be a series of interviews instead of just a story about the events.

Oh, that's not what I would have expected either.

Ah, I just put a 'notify me' on Episode Thirteen, I hope my library gets it. :(

I just finished reading No Words by Meg Cabot. I hated the last two books in the trilogy and was hoping I’d like this one, but it was just awful. It made me sad ‘cause I used to love her books and I’d always look forward to getting her new ones, but she hasn’t written a book I’ve enjoyed since the last Heather Wells one.

I'm not familiar with the author, but what didn't you like about her recent books?

It feels like her books are trying to do a little bit of everything, but nothing’s resolved effectively. The book’s set during a book festival and is meant to be a breezy beach read, but it was a pain to get through. The big conflict was the MC’s hatred of a fellow author who dissed her books and when he apologized, she tried to snoop into his personal life to find another reason to hate him. The MC acted like a bratty child instead of the thirty something woman she was. And when she wasn’t hating on the guy, she was super horny for him in a way that just didn’t work for me (all the talk about bulges and sexy feet made me cringe).

Her books also try to cram in things like LGBTQ+ rights, racism, and sexual harassment in ways that feel very shallow and go against the tone of the books. In this one, the MC finds out that another fellow author (not the one she hates, but a different one) is having inappropriate contact with underage readers and, instead of reporting him and while knowing this wasn’t a one time thing, she just kinda gives him a stern warning and lets him go.

I just got Changing Planes by Le Guin. I haven't had it in me to read much lately, but I'm hoping I can manage some short stories.

I decided I wasn't feeling depressed enough, so I borrowed 'Cobalt Red,' which is about how all our devices are powered by batteries that are manufactured using a mineral that's primarily mined by children who are paid a pittance and treated like chattel.

Just remember when you step into that electric vehicle: a kid might have died to make it!

Gender Failure by Ivan E. Coyote and Rae Spoon. Its part memoir of their own lives and the 2012 show of the same name that they had performed together.

It's been out a while but I was wondering: has anyone read Station Eleven and is it good?
