Four pages to go. Karen Tei Yamashita’s ‘I Hotel’. 605 pages, what a book! Historical fiction depicting the lives of Asian Americans in San Francisco from 1968-1977. Recommended!
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
💙📚 THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH by Paul Michael Anderson is a compelling collection w familiar tropes that go to dark & unexpected places. Full of cosmic horror goodness, with dashes of folk & creature horror for extra flavor, this novella & 4 short stories will keep you entertained & satiated. (Cemetery Gates)
I heard somewhere that during the victorian age, people, with the invention of radio and television yet to occur, used to sit down in the evenings and read books to keep themselves occupied. Now, I don't know if it's true or not but I'm finding the concept something nice to do even in the 21st century. Can be awfully cosy to do. #bookstodon#books
“Language was my knife. If I had unexpectedly been caught in an unwanted knife fight, maybe this was the knife I could use to fight back.” ― Salman Rushdie, Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder
I just bought a book “Strong Female Character” by Fern Brady & it’s a good preparation for “#Diversity in Tech” session on Thursday at #RIPE88 : it “ is a story of how being female can get in the way of being autistic and how being autistic gets in the way of being the 'right kind' of woman.” #ActuallyAutistic#feminism#books#Krakow#neurodiversity
Hey, I don’t suppose there are any British fans of S.T. Gibson that plan on attending her upcoming UK tour here? Because I really want somebody to get me one of those limited cover edition of “Evocation”.
My heart aches for the children who will no longer have access to their local library because some arrogant assholes decided to be offended by books with new ideas and different perspectives.
I bought A Beginners Guide to Breaking and Entering by Andrew Hunter Murray on Apple Books UK after hearing the opening chapter on the audiobook on a Patreon Club Fish episode of the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast recently.
Belgian poet and art critic Émile Verhaeren was born #OTD in 1855.
Verhaeren's early work was heavily influenced by the Symbolist movement, which sought to express the unseen forces and emotions behind everyday experiences through symbolic imagery and metaphor. "Les Flamandes" (1883) is his first major collection, depicting the life and customs of Flemish people.
