I finally wrote my reading reflection for The Slave by Isaac Bashevis Singer, which I read a couple of months ago. It is a beautiful book, sad, haunting. I’m glad I read it. Of course, the whole time I was reading it I was thinking about Jews currently in captivity and how this seems to be an inescapable part of our history.

📚 “Love is always harder. Love means weathering blows for another’s sake and not counting them.”

👍A historical fiction set in France during the plague. It gave me Pillars of the Earth mixed with The Decameron vibes. I enjoyed following the MC’s on their journey and the character development. There were some consequences and some absolutely bonkers depictions of demons and Hell. The ending had some nice symmetry.

👎 The final boss fight was slightly anti climactic. I feel like after such a long journey, I needed more.

Queer Sci Fi

Rari reviews "Specimen" by C. Quince, Prism Agents book 1:

"I knew the author though Bluesky, so I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while. I loved it. It’s an extremely well written book... A sci-fi tale with a dash of spies and assassins and a lot of queer. You will love this book."

Read and reviewed another arc from #NetGalley over the weekend. This time, it was a collection of short stories from an author I'd never heard of before. And the publisher is Canadian to boot!

I really loved this collection a lot, so it would mean so much to me if you checked out my review.

This so-called New Right has adopted the furious nostalgia of a backlash to what Milei has called a “global hegemony” while embracing radical deregulation. At Davos, Slobodian writes, “Milei spoke less as a defector from the global capitalist order than its latest photogenic cheerleader.”

Review - A Side Character's Love Story, vol 10, by Akane Tamura: a cute volume in which Nobuko and Hiroki keep on working through it and communicating about things that are hard and how they want to support one another. Rating: 4/5 ("really liked it").
