* Reread Small Angry PlanetJune McEnroe2022-10-18
| | | | | I didn't even have access to all my emotions the first time I read it...
* Add Take Me ThereJune McEnroe2022-09-21
| | | | | | | Best collection of short stories I've read by far. Good variety, most are quite short, and there are no bummers. The writing is also better than usual which is doubly surprising for erotic fiction, I think. Anyway the stories are super fun.
* Reread A Closed and Common OrbitJune McEnroe2022-09-11
| | | | Book make me cry like a little baby. All time favourite.
* Add I've Got a Time BombJune McEnroe2022-09-09
| | | | | What a relief after 3 unbearably straight and awful books in a row. A wonderful mess.
* Add The Book of Form and EmptinessJune McEnroe2022-08-17
| | | | | There are some nice things in here that I would really like in any other book, but not this one.
* Remove tweets text fileJune McEnroe2022-08-14
| | | | Such link rot.
* Add Conversations With FriendsJune McEnroe2022-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | The better of the two, but largely the same. I feel like these books are a bit too autobiographical, but I don't know if I'm allowed to accuse an author of that. My real problem is that I read these books as largely uncritical of their characters. They behave in nonsense ways, are mostly uncritical of their own behaviour, and don't really have arcs of growth or change. I suppose this book had a bit of one, but only in the last two chapters.
* Add Normal PeopleJune McEnroe2022-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | Unbearably straight. Eyerolls and sighs per page off the charts. Shout out to Joanna, I guess. I kinda like the lack of quotation marks though to be honest. After half of the Ruth Ozeki novel and now this, I need to get back to some genre fiction.
* Add The Bone Shard EmperorJune McEnroe2022-07-03
| | | | | Suffers a little bit from middle book but I really enjoyed it. Read it faster than the first one too, despite its length.
* Add Maiden, Mother, CroneJune McEnroe2022-06-08
| | | | | | Mixed bag like most collections of short stories. Some of them are pretty good. The author of the worst written story also has the worst written bio.
* FIRST SHOW IN 2.5 YEARS BABEY!!!June McEnroe2022-06-05

* Add The Bone Shard DaughterJune McEnroe2022-05-29
| | | | | Never seen a title telegraph the reveal so hard. Excited to read the next one though.
* Add CirceJune McEnroe2022-05-08
| | | | | Look, it's okay. But I should have been done with classics fan fiction last time I said so.
* Add HenchJune McEnroe2022-04-17
| | | | There are some truly horrifying and gruesome bits though.
* Add The Invisible Life of Addie LaRueJune McEnroe2022-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | So good, but so long. Reminded me of The Ten Thousand Doors of January at the beginning, and more of that N. K. Jemisin series about gods later. I like this interacting with gods and becoming something like one sort of thing. God, it took me a whole month (more?) to read and this is only my third book of the year :( I need some more novellas to read, but the other books I have from the library currently are also thick.

| | | | No, I am still rating these out of three. I love this so much.
* Add The City in the Middle of the NightJune McEnroe2021-12-31
| | | | | Sophie is a fucking idiot jfc. She doesn't even get a redemption she's just bad all the way to the end.
* Add Six Months, Three Days, Five OthersJune McEnroe2021-12-02
| | | | | | An impressive amount of these short stories are actual stories with beginnings, middles and ends! Well done! The last little side story of All the Birds in the Sky is cute.
* Add SorrowlandJune McEnroe2021-11-22
| | | | Good, but slow.

* Add BerserkJune McEnroe2021-10-22
| | | | | | | I had reserved this at the library like half a damn year ago after enjoying the anime, just to see if I'd like to read the manga. The answer is not really. Also such a huge and hefty book for so little reading.
* Add A Wizard of EarthseaJune McEnroe2021-10-20
| | | | Meh.

* Remove planJune McEnroe2021-10-01
| | | | | I haven't updated it in ages and I don't want to run (unmodified) finger on OpenBSD since it likes to tell everyone your login IP??
* Add The HobbitJune McEnroe2021-09-23
| | | | | Surprisingly good for something written by a man like a hundred years ago!
* Add Clay's ArkJune McEnroe2021-09-05
| | | | It's like proto-xenogenesis-series.
* Add A Desolation Called PeaceJune McEnroe2021-08-21

* Add Fugitive TelemetryJune McEnroe2021-07-27
| | | | Felt so short compared to the previous full-length novel.
* Add Sisters of the RevolutionJune McEnroe2021-07-22
| | | | | | | Some good stories but 99% downers. Feels like the editors fell for thinking that "feminist speculative fiction" can only be about suffering. Where are the stories of pride and empowerment? Balance it out, please.
* Add SAUSAGEJune McEnroe2021-06-26
| | | | lol
* Add Oryx and CrakeJune McEnroe2021-06-22
| | | | | Contemptible protagonist, long and tedious. Would not have ever read Year of the Flood if I had read this one first.
* Add The Year of the FloodJune McEnroe2021-05-23
| | | | Abrupt ending.
* Add All the Birds in the SkyJune McEnroe2021-05-09
| | | | | The writing style seemed very odd at the beginning. Not sure the end was sastisfying.
* Add The PenelopiadJune McEnroe2021-04-26
| | | | Tedious. I must give up on the classics fanfiction genre.
