Letterkenny – An Exploration of a Uniquely Canadian Romp

TL;DR – This is a delightful insight into a part of Canadian life. Disclosure – I watched these episodes on SBS. Letterkenny Review – As Christmas Day approaches (or if you are outside of Canada, you will get it on Boxing Day), it means that a Canadian institution is drawing to a close. It’s a show I discovered once by seeing a GIF on Imgur about kids falling off bikes, which is an odd entry…

Books, November - December 2020

The Relentless Moon - Mary Robinette Kowal [I...was not prepared for an eating disorder to drive as much of the plot as it does; maybe you should be]

How to Read Water: Clues and Patterns from Puddles to the Sea - Tristan Gooley

Spoiler Alert - Olivia Dade [This could have gone so wrong; honestly, I expected to ditch it in the first two chapters, because usually I HATE giddy novels about fandom...and yet! it turned out to be wish fulfillment in the best possible way, somehow despite the inclusion of multiple tropes that I also dislike (least spoilery: “I betrayed your trust by not telling you my terrible secret that involves you when I had the opportunity, and now you can never know,” when that will obviously only make the eventual inevitable reveal much worse). Anyway: if you wanted actor RPF/fandom AU for a canon that doesn’t exist, here you go.]

Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait - Bathsheba Demuth

Desire and the Deep Blue Sea - Olivia Dade

The Way Past Winter - Kiran Millwood Hargrave [dnf]

Sisters in Hate: American Women on the Front Lines of White Nationalism - Seyward Darby

Swordspoint - Ellen Kushner

Jeoffry: The Poet’s Cat: A Biography - Oliver Soden

Gaudy Night - Dorothy L. Sayers *

Yes, I’m Hot in This: The Hilarious Truth About Life in a Hijab - Huda Fahmy [I introduced this artist to a former boss, whose reaction was to immediately purchase and lend me every book she’s published; I’m overdue to mail this one back (and if your thought was “that book exchange sounds backwards,” well, ...yes)]

One by One - Ruth Ware [it’s fine, I didn’t have anywhere to go the next morning, I didn’t mind staying up until 2:30 to finish this, it’s fine]

A Deadly Education - Naomi Novik

Solutions and Other Problems - Allie Brosh

The House of the Four Winds - Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory

There Is No Good Card for This: What To Say and Do When Life Is Scary, Awful, and Unfair to People - Emily McDowell and Kelsey Crowe [self-help is not usually my genre, but given that I’ve written so many condolence cards this year that I’ve run out of condolence card-appropriate stationary - archives love using scenes from Hamlet on their exhibition giveaway cards, and they’re absolutely not okay to use for...really any occasion, but especially death - and am utterly unable to tell whether anything I’m writing is any good, and that my standard How To Be A Better Person manual is an etiquette book from the 1930s, what could it hurt?]

Orlando - Virginia Woolf

Around My French Table: 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours - Dorie Greenspan

Return of the Thief - Megan Whalen Turner

Spectred Isle - KJ Charles [still really fond of this one; still really want the lesbian ghost sequel]

Division Bells - Iona Datt Sharma [there’s one scene that threw me out of the world, and I’d kind of love to see whether it got editorial notes and if so, what...but on the other hand, I wasn’t expecting this to make me cry, and it did]

Serpentine - Philip Pullman, illustrated by Tom Duxbury [the story is slight; what you want to read this for are the illustrations, which are delightful]

The Rakess - Scarlet Peckham

The Midnight Bargain - C. L. Polk

The House of Green Turf - Ellis Peters

Beach Read - Emily Henry

Not the End of the World - Kate Atkinson

World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks, and Other Astonishments - Aimee Nezhukumatathil

Eleventh Hour - Elin Gregory

Ahab’s Rolling Sea: A Natural History of Moby-Dick - Richard J. King [Let’s get this right out there: “Cetology” is my favorite chapter in the entire novel; I think it’s brilliant and fabulously funny and I loathe the lazy “everybody hates ‘Cetology’” trope that shows up everywhere - looking at you, Dave Malloy! - (although my mother tells me that her students did, indeed, universally despise it, which I find incomprehensible), so I’m always a little salty on approaching any Melville criticism: will they disrespect ‘Cetology”??? Sure enough, it’s there, but at least it’s on the way to explaining why you ought to appreciate it.]

Rereadings: Seventeen Writers Revisit Books They Love - ed. Anne Fadiman [the essay to read is Diana Kappel-Smith on the Peterson Field Guide to Wildflowers of Northeastern and North-Central North America]

Why Birds Sing - Nina Berkhout

Books and Islands in Ojibwe Country - Louise Erdrich

Barn 8 - Deb Olin Unferth

Black Sun - Rebecca Roanhorse

Where the Wild Ladies Are - Aoko Matsuda, translated by Polly Barton * [completely won over by this linked collection of present-day yōkai stories]

Ammonite - Nicola Griffith

Or What You Will - Jo Walton

Vesper Flights - Helen Macdonald

La Belle Sauvage - Philip Pullman [I’m fascinated to discover that the sequence I remember from reading this the first time doesn’t start until more than halfway through! He can tell a riveting story, so I wish I trusted Pullman even a tiny bit...but I don’t.]

Written in the Stars - Alexandria Bellefleur

A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear: The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town (and Some Bears) - Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling [some of this would never be funny; it’s possible I’d find parts of it funnier if libertarians didn’t make me so damn angry]

The Glass Magician - Caroline Stevermer

[jeanjauthor]

“Any man who must say he is king...is no king.”

Writers...how are your kings expected to act?  Versus how do your kings actually act?  They don’t have to be the same thing, btw...sometimes the ‘weak-chinned king’ is more interesting as a character...good or bad.

But seriously, guys who claim they’re alphas?  Those guys are...um...not.  Seriously.  Truly.  Really not.  And I don’t mean just in the “alpha wolf theory was actually genuinely debunked...and by the same guy who first suggested it, no less” sense. (Though that is a small part of it.)

A genuine alpha personality doesn’t have time to proclaim their “leader’ status, because they’re too damn busy being a leader. That means caring for each other, NOT macho posturing or getting into fights.

A genuine alpha personality is there on the floor playing with their kids, or their siblings’ kids, or helping take care of their grandparents.  They’re the one that goes door to door after an earthquake, making sure folks are okay.

You will know a true alpha personality by their deeds...and those deeds do not include toxic masculinity and/or toxic patriarchy and/or toxic misogyny and/or toxic homophobia, and/or any other form of bigotry, when internalized or externalized.

Leaders lead only because others agree (actively or apathetically or out of fear, etc) to follow them...but the best leaders lead by good example...and that means actually caring about the people you’re supposed to lead.

[portmanteaurian]

just finished Not So Stories (ed. David Thomas Moore) and really liked it -- it’s a collection of anticolonial work in response to Kipling, all by authors of colour. I first heard about it through an ad in the back of New Suns (an anthology I read and loved a while ago), and am excited I finally got to read it.

Elin Gregory’s Eleventh Hour was a fun historical romance with an espionage/thriller framing plot. One of the two main characters is what I’d describe as genderfluid, although the word is not used in the text. his whole deal with gender is rather more similar to mine than i’ve seen elsewhere in my travels through the genre, so that was neat.

Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal was a fairly enjoyable regency fantasy. I do intend to read further in the series, though as with her alt-history space race stuff I wish it was less heterosexual.

Finally An Elegant Madness: High Society in Regency England by Venetia Murray was like...fine. I learned some interesting things but it’s one of those nonfiction books that consists of a collection of surface details and factual truths, without any real interest in tying them together into a larger analysis. And the approach to citations seemed a little slapdash, though I did like the extensive quoting from primary sources. I got some use out of it but I think there’s better resources out there.

2019 Hugo Award finalists announced

The 2019 Hugo Award nominees have been announced; the Hugos will be presented this summer at the 2019 World Science Fiction Convention in Dublin, Ireland.

Normally, I find that I've read and reviewed a huge slice of the year's finalists, but this year is different; I've done a lot less reading lately, partly because I wrote two books in 2018 and partly because the new EU Copyright Directive ate my life for about 10 months in the past year.

I was a little sad to be so far behind the curve when I saw the new list, but then I realized that this meant that I had a bunch of really exciting books to add to my to-be-read pile!

One notable inclusion: the Archive of Our Own fanfic archive -- a project of the Organization for Transformative Works (for whose advisory board I volunteer) -- is up for "Best Related Work."

beep boop yesterday’s books

Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho. This was a reread because my to-own copy finally came in the mail. It’s a very charming book! Funny and with really good character work underneath all the whimsy. Also pretty honest abt racism in the Regency in a way that most of these historical fantasies tend to gloss over.

Glamour in Glass and Without a Summer by Mary Robinette Kowal. I’ve now read four books by Kowal (three in this series and her first astronaut one). They’re well-written and very thoroughly-researched but also they have a very uh...liberal viewpoint, I guess I’d say? It’s clear she wants to talk abt historical injustices but the POV characters are ones who are like, just becoming aware of injustices that other people face and who want to Do Something about it, rather than the people who are most directly impacted. I still enjoy the experience of reading them but it’s not as compelling as when your POV character has a personal stake, yk? I will finish the rest of the series though.

The Deep by Rivers Solomon with Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, and Jonathan Snipes. This was a really powerful novella, inspired by a Hugo-winning song! It’s about a lot of things but a big focus is memory and ancestral trauma and learning to balance the importance of cultural memory against how painful it often is. Solomon has another full-length book coming out next year and I’m very excited, because the two things I’ve read by them were both superb.

Midnight Flit by Elin Gregory. Sequel to Eleventh Hour which I read a little while ago. another fun espionage thriller/romance. Josephine Baker makes a cameo. I hope for there to be more instalments in the series!
