James, by Percival Everett.
You are a runaway slave, your escape attempt joined by a white child named Huckleberry, and as the Mississippi River (and various white people) try to kill you, it gets harder to keep your truth from Huck.

Last year, every time I finished reading a book I posted a few thoughts and a picture of the cover to #bookstodon #amreading - but this year I stopped (mainly because the first thing I read in 2024 was a bit of a slog and I ended up not liking it much!)
Today I decided to start again, as I miss being able to look back at my feed and see what I was reading at certain points. Also Iβm so glad I finally got around to the Murderbot Diaries, great read at 4.30am today!

Y/N, by Esther Yi.
You are a K-pop fan fixated on one band member, but you try hard NOT to meet him (as you are vaguely self-aware enough to know that would ruin everything); meanwhile everyone you meet is vaguely connected to him and vaguely tries to help or hinder your quest to either meet or not meet him.

My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror #books far & wide.
The family trauma that pervades THE DAY OF THE DOOR is horrifying enough, but coupled with the intensely creepy events that occur, this story encapsulates "HORROR" in a masterful, terrifying way. Laurel Hightower has written a beautifully dark story about the Things that haunt our hearts. (Ghoulish Books)

Here is my #review of Palace of Eternity by Bob Shaw, a very interesting book, I just didn't know how it would end at all!
Some bizarre outdated moments but still a nice read.
This is Day 30 of #100DaysToOffload
Librarians in several states can now be jailed for years for making βpornographyβ available. Letβs be clear about intent here - it is to limit descriptions of the lives of LGBTQ people, where possible down to the level that we even exist.
