Calling this science fiction is in itself so funny and good. Once upon a country, there was a war. The Wikipedia entries, so contested that there is another war in their edit histories, will tell you there were two sides, but each side is dodecahedral and rotating, or perhaps eight-celled hypercubes occupying the same space, their inner surfaces as deeply scored and stained as the outer. Iām obsessed.

People who include content notes/warnings in their reviews: how? Specifically, how do you ensure that your warnings are complete, or do you not worry about that? Iām reading a book that includes content that probably would have excluded it from my reading if I had been warned about it. I would like to include a note in my eventual review. However, this book also includes a lot of other content that readers might be sensitive to. Iām not sure Iāll be able to remember all of it. If I only include some warnings, Iām worried someone will see the list, (reasonably) assume itās complete, and be blindsided by something. Do you keep a checklist handy while you read? Is there another method I could be using to be more systematic about this?

I've been trapped in a writer fever the past couple of weeks, so I've been unable to focus on complicated and long reads. Can someone recommend me an interesting, fun book less than 200 pages? I checked all the recommendations of the site and nothing has managed to pull my attention. Btw, I don't read romance in general, only POC is the exception. The story can be YA, classic or short stories. Thank you š

Who exactly needs convincing that racism and other stressors are deadly? Whose skepticism requires that we pour more time and resources into pinpointing exactly how it erodes our fuckinā telomeres? Donāt get me started on the headlines: āNew Study Shows Racism May Shorten Black Americansā Lifespans,ā āPerceived Racism in Relation to Telomere Length among African American Women,ā āRacism Might Hurt Your Cells.ā I read the headlines, and then I hear the voice of writer Toni Cade Bambara asking, āWhat are we pretending not to know today?ā yes! i love how this is written! the mix between colloquial and academic language is so natural and engaging

Iāve always been a fantasy book girl but in the past year my tastes have changed (still love fantasy) and I find that its harder for me to find adult fantasy series that has romance but it isnāt the main focus. YA books recs keep littering my feed so anyone got any recs? Edit: Ty š to everyone giving me recommendations my never ending tbr is now even longer š

Kingās best speeches end with a wish for inclusiveness, his wish for a place where brown, Black, white, and yellow play together and are judged by their character. I have created that place now, today, but to do it I had to throw all the white people out. They would say they didnāt want in. I know what I know. I know they wanted ināin our bodies (that is so obvious in all my yellow splendor) and, less obviously, they wanted in our minds. They wanted to be so in our minds that they are what we think about and long for when we are alone. I donāt give them that. Never have. That was my genius. šÆ I love Ziggy more and more. Randallās developed his character so excellently and subtilely. Such a good not-quite-unreliable narrator.

I read this a few months ago and Iām still thinking about it. Does anyone have any good recommendations with this vibe? Any plot/genre - I just need to feel like I did reading this book again (unhelpful I know)

What are some books and/or book series you are interested but can't get yourself to read? I've been meaning to read Les MisĆ©rables for years now, but it's so long. I did start, and loved what I read, but dropped it, and never had the courage to pick it up again. š„² Babel and Poppy War are very daunting for me. I keep seeing people talking about PW here, and so I get reminded that I'm curious about it. I also want to read Malazan, but I'm convincing myself that I'll wait a few years until starting it, but I definitely will! š¤£
