books I’ve read in 2024 📖 no. 053

Annie Bot by Sierra Greer

“She has been happy here, and anxiously miserable, but she has never been free.”

[milestoearth]

This is the best book I've read in 2024. So far at least. Part science fiction, part allegory for abusing, manipulative, controlling relationships, part psychological study of what it means to be human, of what makes out our soul, it is addictive, creepy, unsettling, sad and surprising, all in one. If artificial intelligence is a subject that sparks your interest, you should give it a chance.

I am completely in awe.

Books Read June 2024

Direct Sunlight by Christine Sneed

I fell in love with Sneed's writing after reading The Virginity of Famous Men earlier this year. This is another strong collection with her trademark subtle shifting glances into people's delicate lives and emotional states. Excellent work.

Cocktail by Lisa Alward

This was the final of the 2024 Danuta Gleed nominees I had to read. The funny thing is this is a lot like Sneed's work; literary fiction about relationships, but this didn't resonate. Probably found it the least engaging of the nominees but what do I know? It won the Danuta Gleed.

The Doll's Alphabet by Camilla Grudova.

Also a Danuta Gleed nominee but from a previous year. I saw this mentioned in a Twitter thread about best short story collections. Lived up to the hype. Eerie speculative fiction.

The Dance of the Demons by Esther Singer Kreitman

I heard someone mention Kreitman in the context of being Isaac Bashevis Singer's neglected and forgotten older literary sister. Was she an undiscovered amazing author buried by the patriarchy? Well, not in English she wasn't. I found the novel quite sad and a bit of a slog. An interesting read in the way it captures a way of European Jewry about to be completely obliterated but not a great read on its own. The edition I read included essays and notes on the translation which were very interesting though.

Things That Cause Inappropriate Happiness by Danila Botha

I wanted to like this so much. I found it incredibly mid. Also not the author's fault but there was an insane amount of typos in my copy, like 20+ which I've never had in a book before.

Bear by Julia Phillips

Went in and out of like with this one but I thought it stuck the landing incredibly well.

Annie Bot by Sierra Greer

Quick and heartbreaking look at a sex bot who gains sentience. I thought this was incredibly heartbreaking and wonderful.

I’m reading Annie Bot and I had no idea what the book would do because the synopsis is kind of vague but I’m 100 pages in and this is like the most captivating panic attack I’ve ever had

Books whose characters I carry in my heart

Update on my June Books

Okay! I Hugely dropped the update ball but whatever I finished Project Hail Mary and it was Fine. Good book for a dad in your life. I started the Unbroken by C.L. Clark, and I'm not loving it so far but I'm trying to stick it out to at least 50% before I consider dropping it. I think the characters just feel so young? I'm not falling into step just yet.

I finished House Of Hunger, which I wrote a much longer review of on my Goodreads earlier this month, but again have to take a second to mourn the fact that HoH was so so short and underdeveloped. I wanted so much more from that because I really liked Henderson's writing style too. I also finished a pretty good essay collection called Hood Feminism by Kendall Mikki which was a good starter for people not familiar with intersectionality. On a date with my girlfriend, she pointed out Here for the Wrong Reasons by Annabel Paulsen and Lydia Wang. Which of course I bought on the spot and read in just the last three days. It was a delightful romcom rift on The Bachelor. Moving forward I'd like to try and knock out both the Unbroken, which I'm listening to on audible, and Annie Bot by Sierra Greer, which isn't too long so it might be possible if I do 50 pages per day. I'm not moving as fast as I was in January, but I'm picking up the pace a bit again after a pretty big slump.

poll! okay, i've got a few atsv bots out and it's time i ask what you guys want next. i've got requests for cod and avatar but pjo tied with starwars in second place in our last poll (also i really want to do pjo so like oui, i grew up on that series omg i could talk abt it for actual hours)

i have so many ocs for pjo from my wattpad rping days (not my proudest) and i want to share them so bad. my current fav (a new one) is my son of ares, fallen onto calypso's island. baby really filled a cave with broken rafts and convinced her he didn't love her just so he could stay with her. im bawling my eyes out and i'm the one that came up with the damn premise 😭😭

also harry potter?? finally watched the movies, im so late ik, but i have so many questions. for starters, where's charlie? blud was so busy, he couldn't show his face. that's wild. (not rlly i js love myself a smart man with an very uique hobby) also tom riddle was so unjustifiably attractive, magic just snatched that when he started acting up, like a child and his ps5

anyways dw, i'll make more atsv bots over time, i just want to focus on another fandom for now. requests are open for any fandom you want, btw. i'm more focused on percy jackson ones (luke) though so those will be at higher priority.

tldr; please let me know which fandom you want to see me make bots for next! i'm really getting back into that percy jackson obsession so requests for that fandom will be at higher priority. sneak peeks under cut??

leo, luke, and percy.
