The Blighted Stars (The Devoured Worlds, #1)

Megan E. O'Keefe

When a spy is stranded on a dead planet with her mortal enemy, she must first figure out how to survive before she can uncover the conspiracy that landed them both there in the first place. She’s a revolutionary. Humanity is running out of options. Habitable planets are being destroyed as quickly as they’re found and Naira Sharp knows the reason why. The all-powerful Mercator family has been controlling the exploration of the universe for decades, and exploiting any materials they find along the way under the guise of helping humanity’s expansion. But Naira knows the truth, and she plans to bring the whole family down from the inside. He’s the heir to the dynasty. Tarquin Mercator never wanted to run a galaxy-spanning business empire. He just wanted to study rocks and read books. But Tarquin’s father has tasked him with monitoring the mining of a new planet, and he doesn’t really have a choice in the matter. Disguised as Tarquin’s new bodyguard, Naira plans to destroy his ship before it lands. But neither of them expects to end up stranded on a dead planet. To survive and keep her secret, Naira will have to join forces with the man she’s sworn to hate. And together they will uncover a plot that’s bigger than both of them.

Picking up paused books again

how do people motivate themselves to pick up a book they've paused again to continue reading? i started reading the uncensored picture of dorian gray about a year ago and paused it bc i was really struggling with the way it was written (extremely long sentences). i said i would pick it up again bc i do really want to finish it, and i was enjoying the plot, but the idea of picking it up just.. doesn't seem exciting? i think the amount of time since i paused it makes it seem more daunting but i also know the longer i leave it the worse it'll get 🥲 does anyone else struggle with this? 🥲

The Empress of Salt and Fortune (The Singing Hills Cycle, #1)

Nghi Vo

A young royal from the far north is sent south for a political marriage in an empire reminiscent of imperial China. Her brothers are dead, her armies and their war mammoths long defeated and caged behind their borders. Alone and sometimes reviled, she must choose her allies carefully. Rabbit, a handmaiden, sold by her parents to the palace for the lack of five baskets of dye, befriends the emperor's lonely new wife and gets more than she bargained for. At once feminist high fantasy and an indictment of monarchy, this evocative debut follows the rise of the empress In-yo, who has few resources and fewer friends. She's a northern daughter in a mage-made summer exile, but she will bend history to her will and bring down her enemies, piece by piece.

Binti (Binti, #1)

Nnedi Okorafor

Her name is Binti, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomza University, the finest institution of higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs. Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares. Oomza University has wronged the Meduse, and Binti's stellar travel will bring her within their deadly reach. If Binti hopes to survive the legacy of a war not of her making, she will need both the the gifts of her people and the wisdom enshrined within the University, itself -- but first she has to make it there, alive.

Firekeeper’s Daughter

Angeline Boulley

As a biracial, unenrolled tribal member and the product of a scandal, Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in—both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. When her family is struck by tragedy, Daunis puts her dreams on hold to care for her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother’s hockey team. After Daunis witnesses a shocking murder that thrusts her into a criminal investigation, she agrees to go undercover. But the deceptions—and deaths—keep piling up and soon the threat strikes too close to home. How far will she go to protect her community if it means tearing apart the only world she’s ever known?

yall read at work?

can yall read at your job? i have two jobs. i bartend on saturday nights so obviously im not reading then but i also have a regular 9-5 in the social work field monday-friday. although i have busy days here sometimes there’s just absolutely no need for me to be here 8 hours a day so if my stuff is done… i read. i banged out a ton this week and since its friday i have basically nothing left to do (knock on wood… now that i say that it’ll be chaos 😭) but no seriously im hoping to plow my way through my current book today before i clock out. i even got an ereader so its more discrete (not that anyone would say anything, my stuff stays done but). but yea do yall read at work? if so, what days do you get the chance to read the most at work? fridays are usually pretty laid back for me.

sidebar: why does it feel more socially acceptable to be caught on your phone at work rather than reading? 😭😭

Reminder to check secondhand sites!!!

I often see people complaining about the price of books, but like libraries & second-hand stores exist (Also if you truly can‘t afford books, pirate them, I think art is a human rights and if thats the only way you can enjoy it do it)

Anyway I was recently scrolling ebay and saw someone selling the illustrated edition of the Farseer trilogy for only 50€, anyways I bought them and with shipping I still payed under 60€ (new would‘ve been 90 at least) and they are in peak condition (if I saw them at a bookstore I wouldn‘t blink)

So yeah this is my appreciation post for buying books secondhand, it saves you money and it‘s good for the environment
