New month, new book thread…My first read for August was I'll Never Tell by Philippa East.Flawed but fundamentally decent characters just trying to do their best. A messed-up situation. Secrets and lies aplenty. And the dog lives. Review: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/ee6f5bd5-6c9b-407e-852a-c14d398884b7?redirect=true

Book 4 was Downbelow Station by C.J. Cherryh.Let’s say you drew a linear spectrum of space opera with character-driven at one end and plot-driven at the other. At one end, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. At the other end, this book. Review: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/c07ffb82-0dcc-4373-a1aa-b0a697efb3c4@bookstodon @lgbtqbookstodon

Book 5 was Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz.Staybehind, Sweetie, Cayenne, and Hands reboot after months offline. The restaurant where they worked has been abandoned, so they decide to reopen. Affirming, inclusive, heartwarming, hopeful … cosy sci-fi FTW!Review: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/ca9f8a8a-876e-4d86-9377-796c0b251d73?redirect=true@bookstodon @lgbtqbookstodon

Book 6 was Gender Swapped Greek Myths by Karrie Fransman & Jonathan Plackett.The most interesting part for me was the afterword, wherein the authors talk about why they created this. They’re absolutely right: gender-swapping absolutely highlights the toxic masculinity and the inequality.Review: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/8cb96f10-9fba-413b-8ee2-e694d58a5cca@bookstodon

Book 8 was Patriot: A Memoir by Alexei Navalny.The first half of this book is filled with hope. Navalny talks about how much he loves his country. The second half is composed of his prison diaries and he gets angrier and more frustrated.Review: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/faa755a8-0b09-4f35-89d4-72462761481e@bookstodon

@clacksee @bookstodon Do we get any explanation of why he returned to russia? A monkey could realize that if he returned, he would be eliminated one way or another. Very sad.
