Anyone got #readingrecommendations on #Capitalism and #degrowth? I see books out now that call for #deregulation, that #Technology will be able to give #abundance.

At the same time, #exploitation and #colonialism seem to be in the middle of this push.

Wonder if there already are sources exploring this.

(Note to self: stop to procrastinate by wanting more sources and start writing...)

It's okay if child liberation & family abolition make you uncomfortable.
Ask questions, acknowledge your feelings -- these are the growing pains of considering a radically new idea.

Asking because I've been itching to get back to reading novels again.

All it took was Firekeeper's Daughter by my cousin Angeline to get me back on doing so.

Books I have already:

The Witcher series, The Song of Ice and Fire series, The Spirit and the Flesh, The Manitou, Verona Comics, Love Medicine, and that is pretty much it.

I have anthologies of poems as well but I'm looking into actual novels.

Any book recommendations I should look into in the future?

Things like Dune, dark fantasy, cyberpunk, anything queer and trans, post-apocolyptic, and anything indigenous related.

Making sure an audiobook version is available too bc that's what I prefer accessibility wise.

La solidaridad incomoda en un mundo que te crece con el individualismo

“La pena no es solidaria. La desesperanza no es solidaria. Solidario es aquella presencia que te cuesta algo.”

I missed out on the Collector’s Box from LitPins&Co for the 10th Anniversary of ‘Vicious’ by V. E. Schwab but, because I’m a huge fan of Corey Brickley as an artist, I reached out to them and the lovely people there - thank you Hannah - put me on the waiting list to get some of the merch when it was restocked.

The poster tube contains the book cover versions of the art prints, but I’m going through a flare right now and my arthritic hands do not currently have the manual dexterity to deal with the necessary folding to re-cover the book.

I placed an order without having even read the book but, fortunately for me, ‘Vicious’ is an excellent story and I loved it.

LitPins&Co were sadly sold out of copies of the book, but I was able to get one from SciFier.

I tend to read a mix of new and backlist titles - so I might read and equally love both a book published that year and another that came out ten years ago. I’m always looking for book recommendations, so I thought I would share my top five favourites from the past two years in case anyone has missed any of these gems.

In 2024 I read a total of 67 books, and rated 16 of them 5-stars.

📖The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett (fifth place)
📖Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky (fourth place)
📖Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-Reum (third place)
📖All Systems Red by Martha Wells (second place)
📖Ocean’s Godori by Elaine U. Cho (the winner, in first place)💛

In 2023 I read a total of 49 books, and rated five of them 5-stars.

📖The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean (fifth place)
📖Dragonfall by L. R. Lam (fourth place)
📖Starter Villain by John Scalzi (third place)
📖Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman (second place)
📖Weyward by Emilia Hart (the winner, in first place)💛

Q. Have you read any of these books? Or are any on your TBR list?

Very pleased to share an article I was asked to write for Shepherd as part of their "best books" series. If you're not already familiar with this excellent reading discovery and recommendation site, it's absolutely worth a look.

To celebrate, the Kindle edition of my featured book "Shards" will be just $0.99 on Amazon for a week starting at 11AM EST today. Additionally, "Academic Displacement," the first standalone story from "Shards" is FREE via Amazon until this Saturday, and available right now!

Please consider using the links provided in the article for any Amazon purchases to help support Shepherd's mission to promote authors and their works. Thanks! 📚🙂👍
