#I think the lack of solidly good lesbian ships these days

[carlyraejepsenponderstheorb]

Anyone have any fandom recommendations? F/F stuff. I don’t mind subtext. Feels like there’s absolutely nothing on tv these days that catches my heart the way stuff did when I was younger (yes, this is very “old man yells at cloud”, I know)

Been doing a lot of reading lately bc my library has a summer reading event and you can earn prizes and I do love a Good Prize

More or less by accident I stumbled upon an Event Horizon meets Alien style book about a sci-fi space crew stumbling across a long lost ship but oops! There are Horrors aboard! So I ended up on a big horror kick

Most of the books I've read have been solidly Okay - for tumblr I think I'd recommend The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling - it's a claustrophobic sci-fi cave horror featuring some truly unhinged lesbian shit going on between the two main characters (textually gay, btw!)

It drags a bit and gets repetitive but overall it was fun and I liked the fucked up girlie.

I also enjoyed Salvation Day by Kali Wallace - very good "cult mission goes tits up startlingly fast" vibes, but has a distinctly YA feel despite ostensibly being an adult novel, and despite the intriguing premise overall lacks depth. Still a fun read!

Now I'm working on Manhunt which I'm really liking so far and hoping will overwrite my primary association with the author being "I enjoy and agree with 90% of the shit she posted but the other 10% was her being a deeply unpleasant person by picking fights with random strangers and then crying about it when they responded less than favorably so I had to unfollow for the sake of my blood pressure."

It's definitely already a step up in quality from the others which is promising! The moral of the story is to make sure you have a friend who will tell you when you're being an asshole.
