Okay @bookstodon I am finally posting potentially promising publications in the U.S. for September 5, 2023:

#NewReleases #Books #BooksWorthReading #IAmReading #NewBooks

The Square of Sevens, Laura Shepherd-Robinson [Dickensian tale of an orphaned fortune teller, who finds that the path to truth is filled with twists and turns.]

The Spirit Bares its Teeth, Andrew Joseph White [Dickensian tale of a spiritual medium, who finds that the path to authenticity and self empowerment is torturous.]

Herc, Phoenicia Rogerson [Instead of centering Hercules, this feminist retelling of the Greek myth tells the stories of those around "Herc."]

Hush Harbor, Anise Vance [No justice, no peace means what it says.]

Phoebe's Diary, Phoebe Wahl [Illustrated story of adolescence. Honest and forthright.]

The Circumference of the World, Lavie Tidhar [Sly SciFi Pulpfic Puzzle.]

The September House, Carissa Orlando [That creepy house is going for cheap. What could go wrong?]

The Trespassers, Stephanie Black [How long can paranormal powers be kept secret?]

Wednesday's Child: Stories, Yiyun Li [What jolts you out of the mundane, out of your ordinary life? From the author of The Book of Goose.]

Dayswork, Chris Bachelder, Jennifer Habel [Not for everyone, but if you like subtextual metaphors, this introspective novel is for you.]

Dearborn, Ghassan Zeineddine [The complex immigrant experience, told in stories.]

Until next week, Happy Reading!

@bookstodon
I really want to read the next Penric and Desdemona collection by Lois McMaster Bujold. I think she only publishes the individual stories on Amazon.

Enjoying Paladin's Strength by T. Kingfisher right now, though.

@bookstodon Y'all like a time-loop novel with a fresh premise? I just read The Never-ending End of the World, by Ann Christy, and this novel does just that. Instead of being in a time-loop herself, the main character discovers that just about everyone else is stuck in their own little time loops. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Maybe you will too. #TimeLoop #Books #IAmReading #BooksWorthReading

Yesterday I got author copies of my most recent book, a collection of short stories titled Where Rivers Go To Die. They look lovely and the red tones make me want to change my favourite colour from blue to red. You can find yourself a copy of this book on online stores.

These are stories I've written over twenty years, since the earliest I first wrote circa 2003-4

Currently reading. My third Emily Mandel book (after Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility, both of which I loved). She writes exquisitely.

Re-reading a book series is as close to time travel as you can get. You get to re-meet beloved characters for the first time again. Knowing the outcome of their trials and tribulations doesn't seem to lessen much, if anything, it gives you an appreciation of the pain and trouble they are going through in order to get to where you know they'll end up.

My current, re-read (though the audiobook): https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/26294/he-who-fights-with-monsters

Stack or queue?
When you add a book to your TBR pile, do you put it on top, or does it have to wait its turn?

Reminds me of a scene in #Robogenesis (Daniel H Wilson) as Ryujin rises from the sea in Tokyo harbor

I'm in the middle of Stone Blind and, as always with her books, loving the Natalie Haynes retelling.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon Gossip Girl by Cicely von Ziegesar and it's *killing* me. It's not my normal niche but it's on the banned book list so I gotta.

All right, bibliophiles of @bookstodon Per usual, I've bitten off more than I can chew in terms of books to read. Whatcha reading this week? 📚📚📚 #books #bookstodon #IAmReading

My most recent read has been WAYWARD, by Chuck Wendig. It was really good. Hit that post-apocalyptic sweet spot.

Here's a reading challenge for you, @bookstodon : discover books and stories with no reviews and no ratings on Goodreads or whatever platform you use. Then, find, read, rate and review that orphaned book! I've got four lined up so far.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon After a period of reading thrillers, I have now started an 'easy reading' of Lucinda Riley for a change. Also I am reading a rather spiritual book about acceptance by Jeff Foster. This is the second book I am reading of him. I love his writing style. But its the kind of book you have to be in the mood for. So I read a little in it every other day or so...

@bookstodon Whatcha reading this weekend? #IAmReading #books #bookstodon ❤📚❤ I'm mostly cooking, but taking graphic novel breaks. The Descender series is pretty good. I tend to like whatever project involves Jeff Lemire.

Rn #iamreading the god of small things(spanish transl.), by arundhati roy. I bought it at a second hand bookstore and i am so happy i did it
