Mighty Good Road | Melissa Scott

Yesterday I found evidence someone tried to break into this house, which was scary for me personally and also would‘ve backfired big time for the thief because the awful couch? Ain‘t even the start of it.

Also, Daisy would‘ve mauled them and peed on their foot while she husky-shrieked.

But hey, I got to visit my favourite used bookstore today! I bought stuff by Fumi Yoshinaga and Melissa Scott. The Massey Lecture was a Little Free Library find.

Soubhiville Oh no! Glad they didn‘t make it in and everyone is safe. 7h
Ruthiella Yikes! 😱 5h
xicanti @Soubhiville @Ruthiella it‘s got me double checking everything, especially the unused outer door they opened. 4h

Avanders How awful! 😢 I‘m glad everyone is safe! I hate that people are out there who do that. 😔 2h
xicanti @Avanders this is a high crime neighbourhood and people took stuff from the yard before my uncle started chaining it all up, but I think this is the first time they‘ve ever forced a door open. Luckily, the inner door is sturdier and layered with insulation, so I guess it was too much hassle to deal with in the dark. 53m
Avanders Well we can be thankful for that! I‘m in law, but it doesn‘t stop me from hating that/when people hurt people. 😔 (eta: I just mean, I‘m not numb to it) Glad you came away unscathed, but I know from personal experience that, even so, it‘s so stressful! Sending peace! 🤍 (edited) 33m

Girl Meets Boy | Ali Smith

It's Ali Smith so, as far as Classical retellings go, there was a little more going on than the standard fare.
I enjoyed revisiting Ovid's gender-fluid tale of Iphis and Ianthe: kind of wish I could've had Ali Smith's take on it during my teens.

sarahbarnes I loved this one. 💕 3d

Rapture | Carol Ann Duffy

This was one of my favourite collections by Duffy, so I wanted to revisit it while I happen to be in the same location as my copy. And I love it still, so full of jewels it'd be hard to choose just one to highlight. If I did, it'd be 'Art':

“Art, the chiselled, chilling marble of our kiss;
locked into soundless stone, our promises,
or fizzled into poems; page print
for the dried flowers of our voice.“

Clare-Dragonfly That‘s gorgeous. I wasn‘t expecting the rhymes and I love them! 4d

This is my official entry into the #14books14weeks challenge. There are only 12 books pictured because I haven't been able to borrow one yet (Lore Olympus vol. 8) and the other won't be released until August (Alchemy and a Cup of Tea). It's a mix of library books and owned copies. @Liz_M

Liz_M There are some great reads there! At least one other person has Prodigal Summer in their stack. 😆 4d

I read this with #QueerBC a while ago and am catching up on reviews. This book dives into second-generation Muslim American experiences, friendship, trauma, and being LGBTQIA in this community. The pacing and character development are well utilized, and the stories shared paint a strong picture. It was distressing that the girls‘ trauma was never addressed, often true in real life. Do read the content warnings. #LGBTQIA #MuslimAmerican

Through the remains of the front window, I can see Peacoat Man stumble down the road, Sawyer by his side. When he sees my shadow in the window, he smiles. I smile back.

Exactly what I needed. I'm still surprised how much I enjoy those queer romances. The story isn't surprising, it follows the known paths, but is still very entertaining and got me hooked from the start. I loved that even though set in a gym, it doesn't reproduce unhealthy body standards or bodyshaming. Kudos for that.
