Book tastes

Lately I've been enjoying fantasy and science fiction! This has been fun for me especially because this is not a genre I've read much of, historically. I always appreciate reading and owning books from Queer, BIPOC, and Indigenous folks, and desiring to have a more diverse book collection across the board. I love reading non-fiction, particularly books about my special interests: paddling, rivers, steamboats, sailboats, oceans, captaining, adventuring on water of any kind. I am also interested and enjoy reading books on yoga philosophy, Buddhism, anything by Thích Nhất Hạnh, environmental justice/stewardship, and some new age spiritual books.

Don't get this!

Not particularly interested in romance novels unless they are radically sex-positive, queer, and address consent well.

Other notes

I also like reading other people's favorite books - so if you happen to have any favorites of any genre - I'll give it a shot!

Secret Santa

EerierIdyllMeme: SFF has really blossomed in the last few decades, and it can be a lot of fun trying out all of the many subgenres and finding out which ones you like! A sample pack:

- LibraryThing says you should borrow Station Eleven from me (Emily St. John Mandel)

- Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman)

- Axiomatic (Greg Egan)

- Radicalized (Cory Doctorow)

- Black Swan (Mercedes Lackey)--this one needs some content warnings, but is a worthwhile read if you're feeling up to some human ugliness

- The Marrow Thieves (Cherie Dimaline)

- On a Sunbeam (Tillie Walden)--available free online

- Son of a Trickster (Eden Robinson)

- Ancillary Justice (Ann Leckie) (marraskuu 28, 2023, 3:49pm)
