nou: The word "kake" in a white monospaced font on a black background (Default)
[personal profile] nou

As per last month, I'm not writing reviews or even mini-reviews, but just stating whether I'd recommend the book (yes/maybe/no), whether I decided not to finish it (DNF), whether it's a re-read, and whether I have any content warnings (cw). Please don't take the content warnings as definitive — most of them are done from memory and I may have forgotten some.

Recommend:

  • Durians Are Not The Only Fruit, Wong Yoon Wah translated by Jeremy Tiang
  • Incandescence, Greg Egan (re-read)
  • The Clockwork Rocket, The Eternal Flame, and The Arrows Of Time, Greg Egan (re-reads) (cw: incest, child death)
  • Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine (cw: child abuse, domestic violence, fatphobia)
  • Beasts And Super-Beasts, Saki (re-read)
  • The Sword Smith, Eleanor Arnason (re-read) (cw: slavery)

Maybe recommend:

  • When William Came, Saki (cw: anti-semitism, fatphobia)
  • Whose Turn For The Stairs, Staying On Past The Terminus, and Last Dance At The Wrecker's Ball (cw: domestic violence, racial slurs, child death)
  • Hild, Nicola Griffith (re-read) (cw: slavery, rape, incest, child death, graphic violence)
