nou | Books read in March 2018

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:

Fangirl, Rainbow Rowell
Digger, Ursula Vernon (re-read) (cw: child death, domestic abuse)
Permutation City, Greg Egan (re-read) (cw: domestic violence, child neglect)

Maybe recommend:

Waiting, Ha Jin (cw: rape, ablist slurs)
Clockwork Boys (re-read) and The Wonder Engine, T Kingfisher
Mr Ma And Son, Lao She translated by William Dolby (cw: racism)
The Wrong Stars, Tim Pratt (cw: genocide, slavery, non-consensual body modification)

Wouldn’t recommend:

Brother's Ruin (re-read) and Weaver's Lament, Emma Newman
Penghulu, Suratman Markasan translated by Solehah Ishak (DNF)
Prairie Fires, Caroline Fraser (cw: racism, genocide)
Intercession, Isa Kamari
