An absolutely beautiful and haunting story about teenagers, forests, and the monsters in both.

First and foremost, the writing is extremely visceral, it gets under your skin and just crawls. Every word was chosen with so much intention and the imagery was absolutely stunning (with illustrations that made my jaw drop). To get a sense of the atmosphere, think: moths, rot, sharp teeth, things that go bump in the night, anxiety, angst, and desperation. Personally, it's not a book I'd recommend reading at night.

I can't say too much about the plot or characters while keeping it spoiler free, but I think both were done very well. My mind was racing with theories and questions from start to end, and I felt totally absorbed sinking into each and every detail to try to piece it all together. I felt like the teenage characters were written very well (read: I, an adult, was super frustrated they were acting exactly like dumb teenagers), I loved the queer rep, and in my opinion the only noteworthy issue was really that adults who could influence the story were very conveniently left out of sight and out of mind, which is quite a liberty to take. Nonetheless this is a book I'll probably be thinking about for a long while to come.

The Woman from the Waves

Roslyn Sinclair

Love and hunger are not the same. Six years ago, on a remote Scottish island, a mysterious woman saved Sister Madeleine Laurent from drowning. Now, after leaving her convent, Madeleine crosses the ocean again to find the rescuer who changed her life. Instead, her search is disrupted by Hæra North, a brazen, provocative local who stirs Madeleine’s repressed desires—and keeps a secret out of legend. Hæra has one dream: to become the first female Stormhorse, a powerful leader in her clan of fearsome ocean horse spirits. To do so, she must capture, drown, and eat a worthy human. When she first saw Madeleine, she knew she’d found the one. So why did Hæra save her instead? Now Madeleine’s back. All Hæra has to do is remain in human form, earn her woman’s trust, then devour her. But Madeleine is awakening another kind of appetite… The Woman from the Waves is an epic sapphic romantasy about the power of unleashed desire, the courage it takes to change, and a love so vast it spans the sea, earth, and sky.

Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence

Dan McQuillan

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere, yet it causes damage to society in ways that can’t be fixed. Instead of helping to address our current crises, AI causes divisions that limit people’s life chances, and even suggests fascistic solutions to social problems. This book provides an analysis of AI’s deep learning technology and its political effects and traces the ways that it resonates with contemporary political and social currents, from global austerity to the rise of the far right. Dan McQuillan calls for us to resist AI as we know it and restructure it by prioritising the common good over algorithmic optimisation. He sets out an anti-fascist approach to AI that replaces exclusions with caring, proposes people’s councils as a way to restructure AI through mutual aid and outlines new mechanisms that would adapt to changing times by supporting collective freedom. Academically rigorous, yet accessible to a socially engaged readership, this unique book will be of interest to all who wish to challenge the social logic of AI by reasserting the importance of the common good.

Upcoming Books List?

I'd love to have a way to look at what the upcoming releases are for the month and of course add them to my neverending tbr or interested list.

At the moment I'm using other book socials to find the new books and then coming here to tbr them. It'd be so handy if I could do that all in one place and drop the other sites for good.

If there is already a way to do this then please ignore me!

Thanks 🙏 🖤

A Golden Age

Tahmima Anam

Set against the backdrop of the Bangladesh War of Independence, A Golden Age is a story of passion and revolution, of hope, faith and unexpected heroism. The first volume in a planned trilogy. As young widow Rehana Haque awakes one March morning, she might be forgiven for feeling happy. Today she will throw a party for her son and daughter. In the garden of the house she has built, her roses are blooming, her children are almost grown, and beyond their doorstep, the city is buzzing with excitement after recent elections. Change is in the air. But none of the guests at Rehana's party can foresee what will happen in the days and months ahead. For this is 1971 in East Pakistan, a country on the brink of war. And this family's life is about to change forever. Set against the backdrop of the Bangladesh War of Independence, A Golden Age is a story of passion and revolution, of hope, faith and unexpected heroism. In the chaos of this era, everyone—from student protesters to the country's leaders, from rickshaw'wallahs to the army's soldiers—must make choices. And as she struggles to keep her family safe, Rehana will be forced to face a heartbreaking dilemma. This is the first volume of a planned trilogy.

Wuthering Heights

Emily Brontë

You can find the redesigned cover of this edition HERE. At the centre of this novel is the passionate love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff - recounted with such emotional intensity that a plain tale of the Yorkshire moors acquires the depth and simplicity of ancient tragedy. This best-selling Norton Critical Edition is based on the 1847 first edition of the novel. For the Fourth Edition, the editor has collated the 1847 text with several modern editions and has corrected a number of variants, including accidentals. The text is accompanied by entirely new explanatory annotations. New to the fourth Edition are twelve of Emily Bronte's letters regarding the publication of the 1847 edition of Wuthering Heights as well as the evolution of the 1850 edition, prose and poetry selections by the author, four reviews of the novel, and poetry selections by the author, four reviews of the novel, and Edward Chitham's insightful and informative chronology of the creative process behind the beloved work. Five major critical interpretations of Wuthering Heights are included, three of them new to the Fourth Edition. A Stuart Daley considers the importance of chronology in the novel. J. Hillis Miller examines Wuthering Heights's problems of genre and critical reputation. Sandra M. Gilbert assesses the role of Victorian Christianity plays in the novel, while Martha Nussbaum traces the novel's romanticism. Finally, Lin Haire-Sargeant scrutinizes the role of Heathcliff in film adaptations of Wuthering Heights. A Chronology and updated Selected Bibliography are also included.

What ebook reader do you prefer?

Tl;dr: dislike my kindle, love my kobo libra colour. What's your favorite ebook reader?

As a 30+ year long reader, I have read many, many physical books (I still buy them 👀), but in the past 5 or so years, I've gone ~50% digital, and I have tried various ebook readers.

I've had a Kindle for a few years and I like a lot of the exclusive authors/books....lots of good indie smut hehe. That's about it tbh 😂 If you sideload your non-amazon books (I have over 2k! 🫣) it's a nightmare to deal with. You have to change the format, can't organize your books on shelves or collections (not even using Calibre!!), the covers get messed up/go missing, and you couldn't update good reads (don't use it anymore so a moot point). Not to mention the fact that they can remove "your" books at anytime! I had a whole series I spent a lot of money on just dissappear with no recompense, no explanation... Just poof! 🫩

After that fiasco, I got a Kobo ebook reader last November and I love it 😍 it fixed everything I didn't like about my kindle, and then some. I can freely organize my sideloaded books into series and collections, I can get all the same functionality as native Kobo books, and Calibre is actually useful for beyond just uploading books! Oh, and NO ADS!! There's also detailed reading stats (per book and overall), seamless Overdrive integration (for library books), and (on the libra colour) physical buttons! And they haven't taken any of the books I've bought from them, even though a series I bought was removed from their listings 👏🏾

I still have my kindle (can't get books I bought off it because they use proprietary formats and wizardry that prevents you from doing so 😞), but I exclusively use my libra colour and do not regret switching over

gets off soapbox 📦

Reading regrets?

Do u have any reading habits you’ve picked up that u regret not doing sooner? For me it’s reading 2 books at once. I used to only read 1 book at a time and whenever I’d get bored of the book I’d just stop reading for the day. But now that I have more than one to chose from I’m spreading way more time reading (I went from reading 45 min max a day to now reading for two hours a day). Another habit is allowing myself to DNF books. I can’t count the amount of slumps I’ve been put in bc I forced myself to finish a book I hated!!
