  1. I forget who recommended the Alamaxa series here, by Hadeer Elsbai. I'm reading the first book, The daughters of Izdihar and enjoying it a lot, so thanks, whoever it was. It's a fantasy series set in something like an analogue to 19th century India or perhaps the Levant, mixing fantastic themes on magic with social concerns such as women's emancipation.

  5. To get back into #reading for fun, I finished Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch. Apparently it’s quite popular, and I can see why.

    It’s an #UrbanFantasy #book with good prose and a great sense of place.

  10. I liked the #ShortStory "Another Story or A Fisherman of the Inland Sea" by #UrsulaKLeGuin, though I found it to be quite bittersweet.

    A man whose studies takes him to another planet, loses some years due to time dilation.

    There he starts studying a new technology that promises instant teleportation – though things do not go quite according to plan.

  15. I finished #reading the anthology "The Best of World SF: Volume 1", which is edited by #LavieTidhar, today.

    I think my favourite #ShortStory was "If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again" by #ZenCho

    An imugi, having waited patiently for thousands of years, tries to ascend to dragonhood, only to fail multiple times – often because of humans.

    It decides to eat the last one to foil its plans – only to discover that they have common interests. #ReadingRec #Literature #Fantasy

  17. I just finished reading Marisa Crane's book I KEEP MY EXOSKELETONS TO MYSELF and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Such a gorgeous novel.
