Holy shit someone finally leaked what went down with the Hugos and from a quick skim it appears to be the worst possible scenario: that is, Western award-runners PREEMPTIVELY censoring anything they thought the Chinese government might not like. Clownery AND fascism.

All the negative reviews are either completely racist and homophobic (*fake cries* waah it's those evil Arabs who are homophobic and mean, my ethnically pure Israel is so nice!) or mad "Palestinians are evil and think Israel shouldn't exist! 😠" or "you're only talking about the settler colonial violence inflicted!!! It's one sided"

It shouldn't exist, hope that clears it up. Die about it.

You can't be progressive if you don't fight for a Free Palestine 🇵🇸

We're not free until all of us are free, from the river to the sea

“...𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘦.” - Just Buried! by Historia Strange

Struggling photographer Delta unwittingly winds up married when she picks up a mysterious red envelope on the ground - the only catch? The groom is already dead.

This book’s description IMMEDIATELY caught my eye when I first saw it, so I jumped at the chance to read it. And it does not disappoint in the least! Comedic, genuine, and at times emotionally devastating - this book has it all.

We follow Delta as she navigates a grieving family and the dead husband she has accidentally acquired in the process. Can she keep her heart guarded enough to keep from falling in love with her already “death-do-us-parted” husband? Or will she have to accept heartache as the only ending to this doomed romance when her ghostly husband passes on to the next life?

This book is for anyone searching for a romantic comedy that perfectly balances the line between hilarious and heartfelt, and which has you desperately hoping for that happily ever after we all dream about.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would eat this book if I could ❤️

I was provided a digital ARC by the author, but I loved this book so much I immediately pre-ordered my copy!

Releases February 14, a perfect read for Valentine's Day 💕

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕤 𝔹𝕖𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕞 by Matthew Ward

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This is a slower-paced epic fantasy that, while it does pick up once the plot kicks off near the end, a good majority of this book is spent with a few characters laying the groundwork for worldbuilding.

We mostly stay with two main characters, Kat and Damant, who are on opposite sides of the conflict in this story. Kat is a thief captured to be executed, and Damant is a guard to the Countess of the family, ordering the execution.

Damant is a complicated character in that he is loyal to the system, and yet is the reason for the creation of one of the leaders of the resistance.

As Kat progresses through the story, she slowly changes more and more from uncaring about anyone except herself to helping others with no clear rewards for herself.

There is a plot twist near the end that completely changes how you read everything before, that I thought was extremely well done. There were multiple hints throughout the book where you knew something was off, but you didn’t quite realize what - but once the plot twist is revealed, suddenly all the inconsistencies make sense. I really liked how it was done, and I thought it really fit well into the story.

If you like fantasy stories with some action but a lot of focus on politics, then this would be a good book for you.

(Also shown is the War Arts Saga, another fantasy with a large focus on politics that I would highly recommend.)

Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and Orbit Books for providing this eARC in exchange for an honest review. ❤️

(The Broken Binding edition shown I purchased with my own money, only an e-galley was provided for free.)

This should be required reading for anyone who claims to be a Zionist or that Zionism isn't violent and evil - comparing the actions of Zionists to Nazis isn't antisemitic, it's accurate.

If you can defend Zionism after this you have absolutely no humanity and should be ashamed.

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕣 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕊𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖 𝕄𝕠𝕠𝕟 by Constance Sayers

📽🎬🎞🎥🌑/5

I loved this book, as it was a perfect blend between the fantastical and the “realistic,” and you could really feel the growing tension as both the stakes, and the body count, are rising.

When 1960’s movie starlet Gemma Turner disappears during the filming of one of her last movies - a horror titled L’Etrange Lune/The Strange Moon - it remains as one of film’s greatest mysteries. Christopher Kent has been intrigued by the missing starlet since he was 10 - when a photo of her caused his mother to become catatonic and force him to live with his aunt and uncle instead. Having studied filmmaking since this point, he receives an invitation to watch a secret showing of L’Etrange Lune, where no one other than a mysterious select group of people have ever seen. However, whenever the film is shown every 10 years, new footage is somehow added to the film. How are scenes still being filmed, despite Gemma Turner’s disappearance? Christopher needs to figure out the secret behind L’Etrange Lune and the missing Gemma Turner before it is too late for the both of them.

If you love historical fiction, thrillers, and gothic horror, then don’t hesitate to pick up this book!

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔽𝕦𝕥𝕦𝕣𝕖 by Naomi Alderman

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“𝙈𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙇𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝 𝘽𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙” 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙉𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡

We follow a few of these aforementioned tech billionaires (there’s no murder so that wasn’t a spoiler) as they use a groundbreaking new technology to figure out when natural and manmade disasters reach the tipping point of the end of the world. The other main perspectives follow a survivalist popular for showing others how to survive in extreme scenarios and prepping for disaster and the assistant of one of the main companies in the novel. We also get excerpts from a forum of preppers discussing both survival - but also with a surprisingly large focus on religion - and a cult started by one single man named Enoch. The main story told by Enoch focuses on two characters named Fox and Rabbit, where Fox is a hunter-gatherer who lives off the land but never fully settles or owns it, while Rabbit lives in cities and has become complacent and lost the ability to survive on his own. The novel focuses on whether one way of life is actually better than the other and whether you should choose to leave and abandon - or stay and fix it. The two differing perspectives in this novel then clash between these two ideologies. Are we Fox or Rabbit? How many people is it worth saving the world for?

Thank you to the author, Netgalley and Simon and Schuster for providing me with an e-ARC for an honest review ❤️ (The Waterstones edition pictured I purchased with my own money, I was only provided a digital review copy.) [Also posted to Instagram and Goodreads.]
