I’m about half way through The Wise Man’s Fear and I don’t want it to ever end! I felt the same way about the 1st book in the series, The Name of the Wind. If you need an escape from the real world, these books are totally absorbing! #booksky 💙📚🪐

Book covers from StoryGraph of the books Women Without Men by Shahrnush Parsipur and Heavy by Kiese Laymon

Just finished: Heavy by Kiese Laymon is a deeply personal memoir about his experiences as a black man in US. Women Without Men by Shahrnush Parsipur is a parable about 5 Iranian women, using fantastical elements in the vein of García Márquez. I’m here for any novel where a person turns into a 🌳! 📚💙

Ohio House Slips Anti-LGBTQ+ Agenda into State Budget Bill lawmakers use spending bill to ban library materials, restrict flags, defund shelters, and define two genders as "immutable"

The budget bill (HB 96) would:
❌Define gender as only 2 sexes;
❌ Require that books in libraries referencing sexual orientation or gender identity be made inaccessible to minors.

The budget bill is expected to be voted out of the full House this week.

February 2025 Reads from StoryGraph for user mol_reads: “This is What it Sounds Like” by Ogi Ogas and Susan Rogers, “You Like it Darker” by Stephen King, “Blindness” by José Saramago, and “American Dirt” by Jeanine Cummins

American Dirt was my favorite from this month. I also got half way through All Systems Red, but I kind of hated it and didn’t finish. Maybe I was just in the wrong mood for it! 💙📚

I also loved The Secret History and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, haven’t read the others. If you haven’t read it, maybe A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. Be prepared to cry! A lot!

I just finished Blindness by José Saramago. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Summary: never-ending nightmare!

It was a really interesting premise, but I can’t say I enjoyed it. The graphic content and writing style were challenging for me.

Next up: The City and Its Uncertain Walls, Murakami 💙📚

We play the game to pass the time
