The transformations presented throughout the story were very interesting to read! But I have to say that while I was on the website, this was all I could see up in the corner haha #BSUENG490

Why am I expecting to hear an engine revving when this baby? object? comes out lol #BSUENG490

If you guys could see my face during that holy moly. #BSUENG490

It's really interesting to see her go from ending lives to saving them now! #BSUENG490

or whatever JUST happened, my god

my emetophobia cannot handle another scene of throw-up 😀 #BSUENG490

This is making me laugh so hard

OH! This beginning has already got me intrigued. The car accident made me jump in my seat as a jump scare, but something in me knew that was gonna happen! #BSUENG490

Out of the texts we've read in this class, "The Likeness" is the one I keep going back to! I definitely would recommend this book to anyone! Love a good crime mystery story! #BSUENG490

I really enjoyed reading this story! Made me very angry at times, but it was a very good read! #BSUENG490

Ganger is an interesting story, for sure! Not a bad thing, but I forgot about the warning on Friday and was in for a surprise reading this last night lol! #BSUENG490

"A manifesto not only causes a disturbance, it aims to cause thus disturbance. To make something manifest can be enough to cause a disturbance. This intimacy between manifestation and disturbance has implications for how we write a killjoy manifesto." WOWed! #BSUENG490

I was worried that the length of the story and the ending would feel rushed, but not at all! The ending was perfect and so meaningful! #BSUENG490

"I am responsible for educating teachers who dismiss my children's culture in school. Black and Third World people are expected to educate white people as to our humanity. Women are expected to educate men. Lesbians and gay men are expected to educate the heterosexual world." #BSUENG490

Going into reading this, I didn't think I would be very interested in this book because of the aliens and galaxy aspect. BUT I was caught by surprise because so far, so good! I am actually enjoying this book and am excited to uncover more details! #BSUENG490

MY OH MY! So many mysteries were uncovered in the end, and so many unexpected turns! I really enjoyed this book and this murder mystery! #BSUENG490

Cassie has definitely taken her role too far and is, unfortunately, paying the price for it! #BSUENG490

"I'm sorry," I said. "Frank, I'm really sorry. I know I got carried away, and it won't happen again, but I couldn't stand the thought of blowing my cover, and I couldn't stand the thought of you knowing I let him get away, and Jesus, Frank, he was so close I could taste him..." #BSUENG490

"What once may have had some role to play on the historical state is no longer needed: feminism is associated with the past and with the old and unglamorous women." (622) Interesting! #BSUENG490

"She could have been heading there anyway that night, long before someone jumped her, and just kept going, maybe on autopilot after N ambushed her on her way; maybe because she hoped N would be there to help her." (159)

Lots to unpack here! So many twists and turns and the drama is LIVELY! I am here for it!! #BSUENG490

I am super excited about this novel! The beginning has gotten my attention and I can't wait to see how the plot plays out and how the characters evolve! #BSUENG490

"With each step, I am less afraid. I am the brothersister who remained. I am a village full of faces and a compound full of bones, translucent thousands. Why should I be afraid? I am the source of the spring."(Ada 226) #BSUENG490

"It had nothing to do with you. But you told me not to come back unless I was single and ready to fight for you, and I am." (153)WOWZERS!! so messy #BSUENG490

"A cyborg body is not innocent; it was not born in a garden; it does not seek unitary identity and so generate antagonistic dualism without end; it takes irony for granted." (353) #BSUENG490

I loved the story of Ada and Ewan! The realness and rawness of a love story and the empowerment and influence of Asughara as being a backbone for Ada! #BSUENG490

Hearing Ada's perspective in these pages made the reading feel more personal! I enjoyed this section of the reading and got to know Ada on a closer level! #BSUENG490

"In distinguishing sex from gender, feminist theorists have disputed causal explanations that assume that sex dictates or necessitates certain social meanings for women's experience." (pg 482) #BSUENG490

So many things to unpack here right off the bat! Many details that left me wanting to read more! Excited to see how this book plays out! #BSUENG490

"Loud in Lib's head. She has our fate in her hands. Sister Micheal was vowed to obedience; how could she not confess what she'd seen to the committee?" #BSUENG490
