Fall 2024 Behind-the-Scenes Reading

My Fall behind the scenes reading this year is very much a look a my main research project for this semester, which was on Inuit voices in the Arctic.

You’ll have to forgive this not having a picture. I am in California visiting family and therefore away from all the books I read and the end of my semester was such a mess that I didn’t have the opportunity to do a book photoshoot then. To be fair, a lot of these readings are academic articles, which might make for a boring header image. Once I’m home from California, I’ll see about getting a…

Increasingly, Canadian native literature is commanding attention. Beginning with an examination of the old tradition from which it grew, this book provides a critical analysis of Indian writing.

[Y/n] sat on top of the Falcon bar, and began splitting the tips. “That’s sixteen dollars fifty cents for you, and sixteen dollars fifty cents for me.” She pushed some bills and coins over to Pepper. The elderly lady put the cash in her apron, smiling at [Y/n].

[Y/n] glanced around at the empty bar, “Pepper, I’m leaving.”

Pepper turned to clean part of the bar and asked, “What do you mean?”

“As soon as I get my check, I’m gone.”

Just then, Sam walked out from his office. [Y/n] swiveled on the bar, dropping her legs over, “Sam, I need my check before you leave.”

Sam reached into the tip jar and pulled out a twenty, without looking at [Y/n] he muttered, “Payday is at the end of the month.”

[Y/n] stood up off the abr, crossing her arms, “You still haven’t paid us from last month! I need my money, Pepper’s got night school to pay for.”

Sam started walking out of the bar, before leaving, he turned and glared at [Y/n], “If you have a problem with management, you can leave a complaint in the review box. I’ll be back for the dinner rush.”

As soon as the door swung shut behind Sam, [Y/n] opened the register, “I sure as hell won’t be.” She began pulling bills out.

Pepper came up behind her, wringing the rag in her hands, “What are you doing?”

[Y/n] sighed, “I’m only taking what he owes me, not a penny more.”

Pepper let a small smile across her face, she held a soft spot for the young woman. Their town in Ohio was a small one, so she knew [Y/n] since she had been a kid. “You take that money, Sam will come after you.” She warned.

[Y/n] waved the money, smiling, “He’ll have to catch me first. Here,” She shoved a few folded up bills into a pocket on Pepper’s apron, “That should cover your tuition for the month. Which reminds me,” She pushed Pepper towards the door, “You’re almost late for your class.”

Pepper stood her ground and pulled the folded bills out of her apron and handed them back to [Y/n], “I can wait to pay my tuition. You keep what he owes you, and I’ll deal with Sam, okay?”

Pepper smiled once more before leaving. [Y/n] stood in the middle of the empty bar for a few minutes before walking to the door and flipping the open sign to closed. She pulled out a quarter from her apron and walked over to the old jukebox in the corner.

Choosing a song, she pulled a chair up onto the karaoke stage and posed, as the melody started rising. Slowly she began to sing, her powerful voice filling the room, “OHHHH! Sometimes, I get a good feeling. I get a feeling that I never never had before. And I just gotta tell you right now, I believe, oh I really do believe that...something's got ahold of me!”

She belted out the lyrics, grabbing a mic part way through and dancing a small routine on the small stage. When the song finished, she brushed her [h/c] hair out of her face and panted, with a giant smile on her face.

She left the bar with a small skip in her step. Reaching her trailer house, she began packing a small suitcase with some clothes, and a few books. The last thing she packed was a small picture frame that showed a young woman holding a child’s hand as they walked through a park.

Being extra careful with it, [Y/n] Laid it in the suitcase.

Soon she was on a bus to New York. She fell asleep against the cool window as she dreamed about all the possibilities awaiting her.

When she woke up, it was a new day. And she was in New york.

“Thank you.” [Y/n] told the old lady who handed her a key. She was renting a small apartment and even though it was small and dingy, [Y/n] couldn’t help but smile. She was in New York!

That afternoon, she walked around the Central area, with a newspaper in hand, she went bar to bar, club to club, looking for a place that would hire her to dance or sing.

By dusk, she was discouraged. Discarding the newspaper, she bought a slurpee from a vender and just walked around, admiring the lights in the night sky.

As she walked past a tower construction site, she saw neon lights and turned, startled to see a beautiful woman leaning over the railing of the one story building, dressed in a tutu and stockings, and a bustier she was gorgeous.

The woman smiled down at [Y/n], but then a man came out, and pulled the woman inside.

[Y/n] was intrigued. She dropped the half empty slurpee into a garbage bin and walked through the front door. As she walked down smoke filled hallways filled with people loitering around, she admired the old school photos on the wall.

Finally she walked through a doorway that opened into a giant room. There was a man in a ticket box right next to the door.

As soft music began to fill the room, the man turned to [Y/n], “Clint is the name. Here at Avengers tower, we may not have windows, but we do have the best view in New York. Twenty bucks.”

[Y/n] reluctantly pulled her gaze away from the women who were posed on the stage, erotically touching each other as the music swelled. “What is this place? A strip club?” She asked Clint.

Clint, who was wearing heavy eyeliner and a funky hat with an arrow through it gasped and put a hand to his chest like he was insulted, “A strip club? Honey, I should wash your mouth out with jagermeister. The only pole you’ll find in there is Darla the shot girl.”

[Y/n] gave him a weird look, and turned back to the stage at the front of the room as a woman rose behind the girls and gave a sultry look to the crowd of drinking patrons.

“Honey, I got a club to run here.” Clint sighed, holding out a hand.

[Y/n] struggled internally with herself. She had limited money left after putting down a deposit on the apartment and traveling to New York. Finally she pulled a twenty out of her waller and passed it to Clint.

Clint gave her a gracious smile and extended his hand out to envelope the club, “Enjoy.”

The woman who stood behind all the barely dressed girls began to sing, ���Show a little more, show a little less, add a little smoke, welcome to Burlesque.”

[Y/n] edged towards the bar, never taking her eyes off the stage as the girls all stood up and began dancing. Some brought chairs out onto the stage and did splits upside down on them. Some grinded against each other and others did ertoci dances with each other, all the while the older woman still sang barely moving from her regal pose in the center of the stage.

“You can dream of Jane, do it at your risk. The triplets grant you mercy but not your every wish.”

[Y/n] sat on a stool by the bar, watching as the woman called names in the song and the corresponding girl came up and posed next to her provocatively.

“Behave yourself says Wanda.Welcome to Burlesque. Everyone is buying, Put your money in my hand. If you want a little extra, Well, you know where I am. Something very dark Is playing with your mind. It's not the end of days, It's just the bump and grind. Show a little more, Show a little less, Add a little smoke, Welcome to Burlesque.”

A bartender leaned over and tapped [Y/n] on the shoulder, “Can I get you a drink?”

[Y/n] turned and was faced with an attractive blond man with blue eyes, that were heavily lined with eyeliner. He was dressed in a sleeveless tux shirt and a bowler cap.

[Y/n] leaned against the counter with a smile, “Only if you’re buying.”

The man smirked as he poured her a glass of petron and slid it over to her, “Welcome, to New York.”

“Thank you.” [Y/n] took a sip.

“So where are you from?” The bartender asked as he wiped down a glass.

“Ohio.” [Y/n] responded, glancing back at the stage. The girls had ended their song and now a band was showed off on the side playing an upbeat Jazz tune.

“Kentucky!” The bartender smiled and gestured at his chest, “We’re practically related.” He joked.

[Y/n] laughed, “Thought you looked familiar.” She turned back to look at the stage as she heard the bartender behind her.

“Hey sweetheart, want to do your job?”

She turned around to see the bartender walking back towards her after his talk to a waitress who was currently wrapped around a patron. [Y/n] pointed a finger towards the stage, “Who does a girl have to flirt with to get from here, to there?”

The bartender leaned against the counter, his face close to [Y/n]’s, she got lost in his blue eyes for a moment. “Is this you flirting?” He teased.

[Y/n] laughed, the sound bubbly and free, “With someone wearing more eyeliner than me?”

The bartender pretended fake hurt as he gasped. [Y/n] smirked.

The bartender pointed to a door on the opposite side of the stage and band, “Through that door there. Ask for Maria. She’s your man, flirt away.”

[Y/n] shot back the rest of her drank and hopped off the stool, “Thanks.” She smiled back at the bartender.

Before she took a step he called out, “Ohio?”

She turned back to him, “Yeah?”

He held out a card, with a smile, “Use my name.”

[Y/n] glanced down at the card, smiling back up at the bartender she began walking away, “Thanks, Steve.”

I was tagged by the amazingly sweet @incomplete-coincidence to post my 2021 reading plans

Thank you so much <3

O.K. Right away I have to cheat slightly it’s not a 2021 reading list … it‘s just a general list … if I don‘t make it this year that is fine … books don‘t run away XD

Like every year, two books I have borrowed, “The Name of the Wind” and “The Wise Man's Fear” by Patrick Rothfuss

Though … I‘m in no particular hurry since they are borrowed from someone who ghosted me … so … I think that means they now are mine?

Cool, free books XD

Plus, I don‘t really want to read two doorstopper sized novels wen the third part isn‘t even written yet …

SO … I fear they will end up on next years list again XD

What else? Diverse Discworld books, again, I am in no hurry … seeing as there never will be any new ones :-( and I am already down to three …

The Last Continent

Monstrous Regiment

MakingMoney

What else … some Franklin stuff

“Deadly Winter” by Martyn Beardsley

„Unravelling the Franklin Mytery“ and „Strangers among us“ by David C. Woodman

“Northern Voices: Inuit Writing in English” Edited by Penny Petrone

The last chapter of: “James Fitzjames: The Mystery Man of the Franklin Expedition” by William Battersby

So far I never could get myself to read past spring 1845 …

And in case I can get my grubby little fingers on a pdf of it … or if the Pandemic finally is beaten and I can justify to myself going to a Library to read it there: CYRIAX, Richard J. (1885-1967). Sir John Franklin’s Last Arctic Expedition: a Chapter in the History of the Royal Navy. London: Methuen & Co. Ltd., 1939.

And of course the giant folder on my desk that says: Franklin Stuff – yet to be read XD

I suck at tagging people who actually want to be tagged so … everyone is invited <3
