My resolution for 2022 was pretty simple - all I wanted was to keep track of the books I read over the course of the year. I tracked them all over on Instagram as I finished each book, and last night I finished book #24 (ETA I was able to get one more book in for 2022 and added it to the list).

Nearly all of these books were found through the Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy database, which is an excellent resource for finding books with prominent queer characters. Some of them are just from authors I already liked, but happened to have queer characters anyway, which was nice. I think books 10, 11, 17, and 23 are the only ones that don't have explicitly queer representation, though I have seen people online suggesting that the protags of 17 and 23 are aro/ace.

I also was able to get nearly all of these books through my local library, as well (technically, I could include the two books I already owned, since they are both rereads that I got originally from the library).

So here's the list all in one place, with some notes on them if I feel like it.

The Stone Sky, by N. K. Jemisin

Blackfish City, by Sam J. Miller - I kind of want to read more cyberpunk like this

The Raven Tower, by Ann Leckie - this had a ton of elements that are extremely my jam, and I enjoyed reading this book a lot.

The Mask of Mirrors, by M. A. Carrick

Magic For Liars, by Sarah Gailey

Call Down the Hawk, by Maggie Stiefvater

Karen Memory, by Elizabeth Bear

Red-Stained Wings, by Elizabeth Bear

Together We Will Go, by J. Michael Straczynski - JMS has been destroying me emotionally since high school. I loved this book, but I needed something much, much lighter afterward.

The Sorceress and the Cygnet, by Patricia A. McKillip - this, and its sequel, are favorites of mine since middle school. I realized during this re-read that the character of Lauro Ro might be read as being aromantic, though I think it would be hard to say definitively.

The Cygnet and the Firebird, by Patricia A. McKillip

The Queens of Innis Lear, by Tessa Gratton

The First Sister, by Linden A. Lewis

In the Ravenous Dark, by A. M. Strickland - this book was probably the most horny of all the books I read this year. I liked it, but damn is it horny.

The Collapsing Empire, by John Scalzi - Scalzi's so reliable for me. The Interdependency Cycle books are just my flavor of sci-fi.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, by V. E. Schwab

Middle Game, by Seanan McGuire

The Black God's Drums, by P. Djèlí Clark

When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain, by Nghi Vo - this and The Black God's Drums are both closer to novellas, but I'm still counting them. When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain was excellent, and I read it in one sitting while at the laundromat.

Winter's Orbit, by Everina Maxwell - it took a bit for me to get into, but I dug it - my kind of sci-fi, but not quite as much of a popcorn read as Scalzi, if you get my meaning. A bit heavier.

This Golden Flame, by Emily Victoria

Iron Widow, by Xiran Jay Zhao - one of the best books I read this year, this absolutely ruled.

Not Even Bones, by Rebecca Schaeffer

The Consuming Fire, by John Scalzi

Full Fathom Five, by Max Gladstone

(My) BEST READS OF 2023

[I literally just went through my "Books Read" journal and pulled the titles and authors out, then Googled to get first names because I jotted down only an initial and a surname. {Good job, me.} And honestly, having at least one to two SLAMMIN' books per month is great! 35 really awesome books out of a total of 143 new books read for the year is a high percentage of amazing!]

SO. READ THESE!

Swordspoint - Ellen Kushner (Yes, I should've read this DECADES ago.)

The High Crusade - Pohl Anderson (I laughed so many times reading this.)

The Bone Orchard - Sara Mueller (I LOVED the concept of this.)

Contact - Carl Sagan (Again, should've read this DECADES ago.)

Hell Followed with Us - Andrew Joseph White (Monstrous angels are my JAM.)

Briar Rose - Jane Yolen (Yes, another one I'm just… sO late reading.)

How to Invent Everything - Ryan North (Non-fiction with a fictional framework, it's glorious.)

The Art of Tidying - Marie Kondo (Non-fiction and so, so gentle.)

Reigning Cats and Dogs - Tanith Lee (Is anyone surprised that her name is showing up here?)

Fairy Tale - Stephen King (THE DOG LIVES.)

The Library of Fates - Aditi Khorana (Oh, it's so beautifully written.)

Amygdala - Sam Fennah (DENSE but tbh the world building is so, so unique.)

A House with Good Bones - T. Kingfisher (I read anything with this name on it.)

Gideon the Ninth - Tamsyn Muir (This name will come up again, obviously.)

Blaze - Stephen King (It was so SAD.)

Harrow the Ninth - Tamsyn Muir (Told you.)

How to Sell a Haunted House - Grady Hendrix (I will also read anything with this name on it.)

Nettle & Bone - T. Kingfisher (Told you.)

Nona the Ninth - Tamsyn Muir (This should surprise no one.)

Mr. Humble & Dr. Butcher - Brandy Schillace (Non-fiction!)

MAUS - Art Spiegelman (No, I'd never read it before. Yes, I am ashamed of myself.)

Lavinia - Ursula LeGuin (This was just… haunting.)

Cannibalism - Bill Schutt (Non-fiction and I bought a hard copy LOL)

Camp Damascus - Chuck Tingle (All those Tinglers have refined his writing to a razor's edge.)

Dr. Mutter's Marvels - Cristin O'Keefe Aptowitcz (Non-fiction, I wanted to learn about the origins of the museum.)

Dark Castle, White Horse - Tanith Lee (Are you really surprised by this?)

Holly - Stephen King (Elderly cannibal serial killers? Yes, thank you.)

A Guest in the House - Emily Carroll (For the story AND the art, it's so good.)

A Long, Fatal Love Chase - Louisa May Alcott (Her writing a Gothic blew my mind, but it was such a SOLID Gothic.)

The Emperor's Soul - Brian Sanderson (I held off on reading EPIC FANTASY for ages, but this? This lovely single volume? It sold me on his magic systems, I gotta find more.)

Books of Blood I-III - Clive Barker (I'm so glad I'm aging into short stories, these were fantastic.)

Night Shine - Tessa Gratton (So unique! So queer! I delighted in it!)

The Three-Body Problem - Cixin Liu (DUDE. FUCKIN'… JUST! DUDE!)

Pegasus - Robin McKinley (I NEED THE SEQUEL WHAT THE FUCK ROBIN???)

The Pink Triangle - Richard Plant (After learning of Somerton's plagarism, I went hunting for books and publications that could give me accurate and researched information.)

#Books are life #Reading is life #I read 255 books total last year; 112 rereads and 143 new books #because I don't have to commute to work and I can hyperfocus on reading like NOBODY'S business #a lot of them were largely forgettable with some real STINKERS in the bunch #but these were just Good!

YOU GOT IT

Contemporary Adult Queer Fantasy

Read if you love Hannibal or Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell) Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon The Unbroken by CL Clark (ft.

Not fantasy but you should still read them: Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin (horror, trans cast, firmly anti-TERF) Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki (science-fantasy, objectively a perfect novel) Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo (horror, gay yearning) The Seep by Chana Porter Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang (sci-fi Joan of Arc) Everything by Becky Chambers Everything by Rivers Solomon Arkady Martine's A Memory Called Empire

ALSO: author K.A. Doore keeps a running list of queer adult SFF published every year. I highly recommend going through those archives, which you can find here: https://kadoore.com/2022/05/23/2022-queer-adult-science-fiction-fantasy-books/

Tl;dr: SFF is extremely gay, almost everyone writing contemporary SFF is queer in some way, we are truly blessed and I don't want to hear anyone complaining about not being able to find stuff ever again, I love you all.

Rumination #5

I’ve been enjoying writing these, its a very unusual kind of project. So let’s talk about the Gig Economy and my favorite game of recent memory.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCI396HyhbQ

This is Death Stranding. An oddball passion project by acclaimed Japanese Video Game Director Hideo Kojima. I want you to watch this trailer and tell me what you think this game is about.

If you said to me “This is a game about the Gig Economy, and ultimately the importance of the human condition as it relates to the differences between the body and soul, and also having Norman Reedus throw Poop grenades at conceptually strange Eldritch Horrors” you’d be correct.

So let’s break it down in detail.

Sam Porter Bridges (played by Norman Reedus), is a Porter, basically a delivery guy for a post-apocalyptic United Cities of America. His job is to help use his organization BRIDGES (the company that is owned by his mother, who is dying of cancer). The way this is handled is Sam has to trudge all over the ruined United States, delivering important resources (water purification filters, energy conduits... pizza in some cases) to people all over the country. All while avoiding the horrible creatures called “Beached Things” or BT’s which are strange Eldritch Horrors that have broken through from an alternate dimension called The Other Side. There are also rival porters who have gone insane wandering the wastelands, called MULE’s. These people are addicted to the Gig Economy and are ultimately tracking you and interested in stealing your packages as you’re carrying.

Another major point in the game is the difference between Body and Soul. So allow me to go into an Ian Gratton (trademark) Lore Dump about this universe. SO BT’s are hunting down the dead bodies so they can feed on them, which will trigger something called a Voidout (basically a small nuclear explosion that leaves behind a monolithic crater) followed by something called Timefall (Where a rainstorm brews up that causes incredibly fast aging followed shortly by death). To get around the BT problem, technology has been created called Bridge Babies, or BB’s. These babies can help detect BT’s when combined with a sensory apparatus. These babies are a commodity for Porters. And the babies are ultimately burned alive at the end of a year or else they become “unstable” due to their exposure to BT’s.

We ultimately meet an artificial person played by Guillermo Del Toro in this game (shoutout to him, he’s cool as hell and I love his work), and he is a person that was developed to be used as a Bridge Baby, but he experienced a malfunction and was forced to oversee the production of BB’s. As a result of the fact he lacks a soul (BB’s are typically raised solely for this task using cloning), he can’t interfere with BT’s and also cannot experience the afterlife. Several other characters discuss this importance through the usage of the Egyptian terminology of Ka and Ba, referring to Soul and Body respectively.

We also meet two women named Mama, and her twin sister Lockne (both played by Margaret Qualley). Because Mama is the mother of Lockne’s daughter (via surrogacy), her soul has been consumed by a BT (which is another 6 paragraphs to explain how that works) but as a result of this, her soul has been consumed while her body goes on working. Eventually, she instructs the player to hunt down her BT to mercy kill it, so she and the BT (in actuality, her stillborn child) can both move on. When this happens, her soul merges with Lockne (again, this game is FUCKING OUT THERE) and is ultimately able to live a full life as a result of their spirits (broken) and merging.

Why do I mention this? Because ultimately, I think that we get so caught up in the hustle, it can sort of consuming your soul a bit. Working as much as we do can leave us feeling like soulless mannequins. It takes us reconnecting with each other, and indeed, ourselves (including the shattered parts of ourselves) is just as important as the hustle.

Death Stranding is an odd game, if you have time, you should definitely check it out. It’s a very unique experience to watch/interact with. It also covers alot of what we talk about in last class.

Tuesday’s Treats is a weekly blog post dedicated to newly released books that I’m most excited for. (Books are in no particular order.)

All books featured this week will be released: MAR. 27th

Inspired by Shakespeare’s King Lear, Gratton’s The Queens of Innis Lear follows sisters Gaela, Reagan, and Elia who each know that the only chance for their kingdom and it’s magic to survive is if their father choses a new heir. But their prophecy-obsessed father refuses to do it until the right time. The sisters know that prophecies got them into this mess and will not get them out, and that a bloody civil war is on the horizon.

Fantasy; Tor Books, Hardcover (US)

2. Emergency Contact: Mary H. K. Choi (goodreads) (book depository)

Penny is a college freshman looking to change her life. Sam works (and lives) in a coffee shop, and hopes that all his struggles will be worth it when he becomes a successful movie director. When the two awkwardly meet, but connect nonetheless, the two start a texting relationship that brings them closer to each other, and to their truest selves.

Mulan is one of my favorite Disney movies that people always seemed to forget about, so this is such a fun book to read. Elizabeth Lim’s Reflection follows Mulan, still disguised as Ping, as she ventures to Diyu, the Underworld, to save Captain Shang after he’s wounded in battle. A mix between Mulan and Hercules seems like such an awesome combination, so I cannot wait to read this book.
