    I read mostly in English but I sometimes read in my native language French. Are they still linked ? If for example the English edition is in one challenge and I read the French edition, is that still going to count ?

  • Climate fictions🌿🕸🔥 - does anyone have good climate fiction recs?

    I took a Climate Fiction course in my Masters (I studied EngLit) and have been invested in this subgenre ever since!! I want more recs for climate fiction though, it could also be just a subplot rather than the whole plot🥺 I'll share my recs here and you share yours plz!! My recs: 1) How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue 2) Dark Wild Shore by Charlotte McConaghy 3) A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers (this one is more hopeful than the others) 4) Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor (a subplot in this one) 5) Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler 6) Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer I don't recall more rn but please give me your recs🤲

    There is quite a bit of literary fiction bashing from the main character, but as someone who is also trying to distract herself from her own shitty family situation, January is correct in that romance novels are a good choice. Literary fiction would have probably made me feel even more bleak, so thank you Emily Henry

    Not “check for the sex dungeon!” in such a emotionally difficult situation 😬

    I listened to the audiobook and I love his narration. Authors narrating their own work can be a hit or a miss so I‘m glad he ended up narrating. I loved John Green‘s fiction as a teenager, but didn’t love Turtles All the Way Down which I read as an adult and chalked it up to just outgrowing the YA genre. I was intrigued when I heard about this non-fiction book and I‘m so glad I gave it a try. The book is so well researched and strikes such a good balance between broader information, more niche fun facts, and stories of people with TB to help the reader understand that a disease is not statistics in a textbook, but real human suffering.
