I'm a big fan of Isabel Waidner and have read all of her #novels (which makes them the only contemporary writer I've read ALL the books ;). This is my take on their latest novel: Corey Fa Does Social Mobility.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #literature#queer#lgbtqia#reading@bookstodon
I'm seeing so much #antisemitism right now. Let me share with you my traditional response to it: my SFF #novels. The ones with #Jewish main characters are The Time of the Ghosts, The Wizardry of Jewish Women, and The Green Children Help Out. https://gillianpolack.com/my-books/ The Green Children Help Out is published by a Jewish press.
I would be very happy if people shared their favourite SFF novels by current Jewish writers. So many Jewish cultures to read about! So much potential for good fiction.

The Softer Side
OMG I haven't drawn these two in so long I literally had to reference Steve's cybernetic legs from my character sheet. O_O The softer side of Steve here... and it's all due to Maribel's influence! #spiderforest#webcomics#indieauthors#amwriting#novels

"Then She Was Gone" by Lisa Jewell is a fantastic psychological thriller that follows the story of a mother trying to uncover the truth behind her daughter's disappearance.
THE CONQUISTADORES’ ARRIVAL, REIMAGINED in a playfully serious tale that darts as kaleidoscopically as a hummingbird between culture and culture and between the empires of past and present. Powerfully visual, sardonically witty. SOLID A

WITNESS PROTECTION IN A RETIREMENT community isn’t most 31-year-olds’ idea of fun, and with a murder on the grounds and $2 million missing from community accounts, it’s not very protected. Fun Florida cozy has lots of pizzazz. B PLUS

THE GREAT MIAMI NOVEL may well be this devastating blend of satire, magical realism, and local history—the story of a wannabe gangster and the imprisoned orca that fascinates him. Startling, distinctive, surreal. A MINUS
HIGH-INTENSITY FANTASY THRILLER recasts werewolf myths through a lens of female empowerment, and the result is a heist adventure led by two unforgettable young women/wolves. Sharp writing and evocations of hardscrabble backwoods life. A MINUS
Like maybe life is too short for this but I spent the first quiet half hour at work seeing what links there are from Stay Gold to Film Out & maybe I need to watch all the #BTS Japanese MV in order....
