Stories lead us to the truth and they lead us astray, and how are we to know the difference?

“We don’t know what people look like. We know only what they look like to us. We have an idea of them, shaped by our affections, our memories, and this is the real distortion.” ~Alexis Schaitkin/Saint X

Elsewhere review #Elsewhere #NetGalley #AlexisSchaitkin #SaintX

Title: Elsewhere Author: Alexis Schaitkin Genre: fantasy, dystopia Thank you NetGalley for this book! I read Saint X a while ago and was really impressed by it. The story was excellent, and the language was just gorgeous. So, when I saw this one on NetGalley, I requested it in eager hopes that it was just as good. And it’s not. It’s BETTER! I absolutely loved every minute of reading this…

Weird & Wonderful Wednesday

Can’t say no to this title am I right? And so I didn’t.

So, in 1955 thousands of women turned into dragons, and, whew, they left some hard core destruction in their wake. One of those women was Alex’s Aunt Marla. But, no one is allowed to talk about her, or any of the former women turned dragons, or even dragons at all.

The novel tells the story of Alex, as well as Bea (Marla’s daughter) and Alex’s father (not a great Dad for sure) as well as that of Marla and some other dragons. But, it’s not just a speculative sci fi/fantasy book, it’s also very much a sort of social feminist critique as well. And, there’s lots and lots going on in it. Many themes, and, of course, when you make a bunch of women into dragons, there’s quite a bit of world building in it as well. But, it was a good read, and, a read that made me think as well.

Booklist

My current booklist, with a little over 200 books total, some of which I am currently reading and two that I've finished. Everything will be in alphabetical order and below the cut because this is gonna be a long one.

Please also keep in mind that there may be issues with the listed writers or books that I don't know (I don't really inhabit spaces where I'd find this information out and googling every book or writer I find to see if they're controversial is depressing and I'm not doing that). I'd still like to know though so if you see someone on my list give me a heads up.

3, 14, and 20! For end of year asks

new year asks

favorite musical artist/group you started listening to this year: i have heard them before but i got really into tennis this year!! my favorite songs are please don't ruin this for me and echoes

favorite book you read this year: elsewhere by alexis schaitkin <3 i think everyone should read this book. every other page made me cry, it has the most insane prose and the story is so so so good. i wish it lasted forever

what is something you learned this year: i went through a really shitty breakup this year and it taught me that 1. i love myself a lot, and 2. i cannot rely on another person to make me completely happy! i need to take care of myself above all. relationships are not vital to happiness.
