  1. The Man Who Died Seven Times by Yasuhiko Nishizawa

    A teen subject to intermittent time-loops sets out to prevent the murder of his unlikable grandfather. This will be much harder than he expects.

  2. #AmReading The Goodbye Cat by Hiro Arikawa. Started it the other night at 3 am because I couldn't sleep. Was sobbing by 4 am. It's very good.

  5. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

    What better way to celebrate Pride than with some amazing queer books? Yup, I'm bringing back another set of #queerBooksForPride this year, one a day for the month.

    Some of these books center queer relationships. In others being queer is just an accepted part of the world. I loved all of them and hope you find some you enjoy too!

    Follow (or mute) the tag as you choose. Boosts are welcome.

  7. Human Acts (Han Kang)

    Not even halfway through yet and this book is blowing my mind. A brilliant translation by Deborah Smith makes it an easy read in the linguistic sense, but emotionally it's challenging.

    Such an important topic. I'd known almost nothing about this terrifying era of Korean history. Sad to learn that the US (Carter administration) supported the Korean government's military violence against its own innocent citizens.

  11. Help me Booksodon, you are my only hope.

    I need something to read, Just finished the new James M Corey and the works of John Buchan, tried the new Blackheart Man and not getting on with it (me not the book, in a different mood I would likely shoot through it).

    Very widely read already, likes sharp Sci Fi, good (not 280,000 page long) fantasy and generally well written or interesting like Kate Atkinson or ANgela Carter.

    ANy ideas of something I might have missed?

  12. #Booksodon #LOTR #Tolkien

    He had cats I am sure of it, Hobbit behaviour is explained by cats, second breakfasts, proper ordered sleep times, Pippin knocking random things off and playing with the shiny bauble, Hobbits are just anthropomorphised cats.

  13. CW: Report of abuse

    Another shattering revelation about a revered writer…

    From Andrea Robin Skinner, youngest child of Nobel Laureate Alice Munro -

    "I ... wanted this story — my story — to become part of the stories people tell about my mother," she wrote. "I never wanted to see another interview, biography or event that didn't wrestle with the reality of what had happened to me and with the fact that my mother, confronted with the truth of what had happened, chose to stay with and protect my abuser."

    On this, the ultimate day of #Pride month, the final #queerBooksForPride is ... whatever queer book you enjoyed! That's right we're crowdsourcing this one.

    What book have you enjoyed that centers #queer relationships, is written by a queer author, or otherwise includes queer characters as a natural part of the world / plot? What book would you recommend to others?

    Reply (bonus: include the #queerBooksForPride tag) and share! Boosts welcome!

    Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

  16. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈!

    In June 2022 I posted a queer book a day for Pride month under #queerBooksForPride and I'm going to do that again this year!

    Like 2 years ago: some of these center queer relationships, others have queer characters as a natural part of the world / plot. All are fantastic.

  17. @CBCNews

    Alice Munro quietly made the case for the quality and relevance of Canadian English-language literature before it became more broadly accepted/recognized as its own thing beyond Canada.

    If you haven’t yet experienced a book of her stories, I envy you the opportunity to discover them.

  19. Okay. So. I have read much of the summer issue of #ForeignPolicyMagazine and I would be much more blissful right now if I had not
    @fp is not an account on here, alas!

  20. Okay, a bit more about me, now that I've got a better idea how things work.

    I'm an #IndieAuthor of #FantasyBooks hoping to connect with other authors and readers of fantasy. Sounds logical, yes? Hoping to find an active community for good conversation, rather than just promotion. If you like #gardening, #nature, and #wildlife even better. 😀
