2023 booklist for Small Business Saturday
Middle Grade
Simon Sort of Says by Erin Bow
I am going to pat myself on the back forever because I hosted the writing retreat where Erin started work on this book. Not many people say, "I'm going to write a middle grade novel that will shine the light of a white hot sun on gun violence and I'm going to make it funny." But Erin did. And it is amazing.
Teen
The Luminaries and The Hunting Moon by Susan Dennard
At the launch for The Hunting Moon at Schuler's Books in Grand Rapids, they asked me to describe The Hunting Moon in six words and I said, Magic, Monsters, Witches, Impossible Family Expectations.
This unabashedly teen book was a breath of fresh air for me. Return to a simpler time when teenagers just had to risk their lives killing monsters in enchanted forests while struggling to win approval from people they are beginning to think have really questionable values.
Summer in Orcus by T Kingfisher
Ursula Vernon writes books for younger readers under her own name and everything from YA up to adult under the name T Kingfisher. I could recommend any of her books, but Summer in Orcus has a special place in my heart. Summer's mother wants to keep her safe, so safe that when Baba Yaga offers Summer a portal to the magical realm of Orcus, Summer is through it like a shot.
Adult SF and Fantasy
The Adventures of Amina Al Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty
A retired pirate! Who happens to be a mother! Who is torn between her desire to live a nice safe life with her daughter and, you know, piracy.
A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine
When the new Ambassador from tiny Lesl Station arrives at the capital of the far flung galactic empire, her first job is to figure out who murdered her predecessor. I loved the convolutions in Martine's world building and story telling.
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Lorena Garcia
It's the Jazz Age in Mexico. Someone's been keeping the Mayan God of Death trapped in a trunk at the foot of the bed. And that someone's granddaughter, who is utterly sick and tired of her horrible relatives, has just opened that trunk.
Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang by Kate Wilhelm
This is an old one. This book was published in 1976 and has recently been republished. I read it thirty years or more ago and have never forgotten it. It's a thoughtful, brutal, beautiful book about the decay of civilization and the importance of individuals, individuality, and the preservation of diversity.
Warrior's Apprentice by Bujold
If you like Gen, I think you'll love Miles. 馃榿

The Mammoth Book of the End of the World edited by Mike Ashley
3.5 out of 5
A collection of twenty-four short stories and novellas exploring the destruction of civilization and/or the planet. The authors range from Golden Age giants to more modern ones. While the majority of the stories are reprints, there are a few original to this collection.
I've taken my time reading this chunky book which is reflected in the time taken from start to finish. I find collections like this work better for me when I dip in when I want something different from what else that I've been reading. However the stories are different enough to read through with no interruptions.
One of the better collections of this trope that I've read in many years. Only one story came in rated at less than 3 stars, an unusual situations with such a narrow focus and large number of stories. A few of my favorites include "When Sysadmins Ruled the World" by Cory Doctorow; "The Last Sunset" by Geoffrey A. Landis, particularly heart wrenching; and "And the Deep Blue Sea" by Elizabeth Bear.
If you love well written stories, consider picking this up. It is well worth your time.

Tbh, still going with the theory that Kate just got bored with her life and fed up with her husband鈥檚 affairs and the British public鈥檚 general indifference to her. And has decided to fake her disappearance and possible murder for drama.
Amy Dunne set a dangerous example for bored rich white women.

i know these songs werent exactly written for this but i cant get it out of my head so heres some extra songs from Kate Bush's Hounds of Love, but examined through the lens of A Book of Dreams by Peter Reich (a book i have.. become kind of obsessed with)
So obviously Cloudbusting was the song that was based on that book, and if you love that song as much as I do, I highly recommend reading the book. It makes the song hit even harder. It has also made me cry a few times lol. But heres a few more songs that I now kinda associate with the book.
Running Up That Hill- The scene where Peter is in the lab, and the FDA comes up and insist to talk to his father. He says they have to make an appointment, and he tries his best to reason with them, but it doesn't work. They drive up to the observatory.
He runs as fast as he can. As fast as those little legs can take him. He is, quite literally, running up that hill. He's desperate. He's terrified.
Aside from the obvious imagery, the "it's you and me" line is one shared by both songs, which I think is fun and interesting and helps tie them together.
Hounds of Love- Towards the end of the book, Peter is an adult and sits in a room with a girl. She tells him he hardly even knows him. He says he's the son of Wilhelm Reich. Something that's been so important to his identity, and he only just realized it. Something that's more important to him than anyone else in the world.
He felt lost. He ran away from meaningful connections because they scared him. Shallow relationships and one night stands were easier.
If you don't know the song, the whole theme is surrounding the feeling of being hunted down by love. It stalks you like prey, catching you off guard. It can be terrifying. To the point of running away from it completely.
The Big Sky- This one is more of a stretch, even to me lol, but I feel like there's something there. Between the cloud imagery, and the near obsession with them, it just reminds me of the book.
The line "you never understood me, you never really tried" really just.. makes me think of that one scene where Peter is in the theater watching The Fly. He feels as if no one understands. No one will understand. People could walk away from that theater, never thinking twice about it. To them it was just a movie. But to him? It was real. It felt so real. And he was surrounded by people who just didn't seem to 'get it'.
I don't have any associations with Mother Stands for Comfort (with this book at least) or the Ninth Wave section, so I will be stopping here :3
Let me know what you think! If it makes sense, if it doesn't, etc. I just love these two things so much that I think my brain kind of connected them together hsjdjfk
Anyways thanks for reading so far <3
#kate bush#hounds of love#cloudbusting#peter reich#wilhelm reich#a book of dreams#rambling#this book is my roman empire#i found out about it through cloudbusting and i fell down a rabbit hole#i am still stuck in the rabbit hole#if im still obsessed with it in a few months i think its safe to say i have a new special interest

One of Donald Sutherland's best roles playing Wilhelm Reich and it's only about 7 minutes long! He is so hot in this video, my god. Love an intelligent and kind and caring father working to save the Earth and humanity and spending quality time with his child making it rain. A true act of love. Seriously my jam. Apparently they weren't able to get a work visa for him so he offered to do it for free. What an angel! As is Kate Bush. For always. One of my top most favorite Kate Bush songs and one the most beautiful music videos I've ever seen and based on real life events.
#kate bush#donald sutherland#cloudbusting#wilhelm reich#peter reich#a book of dreams#definitely recommend reading the book if you can find it#it's out of print but you can find copies on ebay and such#Youtube

Movie pitch: After a former 4chan incel unlearns toxic masculinity through Reichian body therapy, he decides to go back to school and one day open a practice of his own. But can he convince the fuddy-duddy CBT purists on his dissertation committee that this old, offbeat modality is still worth it - and maybe find true love along the way? Find out this summer in "Org-Anon."
#shitpost#wilhelm reich#movie pitch#pun#i stiiiiil dream of ooooorgonon#cloudbusting will play over the end credits obv#kate bush#is this too niche
